To explore the mechanical properties of the braided corrugated hose, the space curve parametric equation of the braided tube is deduced, specific to the structural features of the braided tube. On this basis, the equivalent braided tube model is proposed based on the same axial stiffness in order to improve the calculational efficiency. The geometric model and the Finite Element Model of the DN25 braided corrugated hose is established. The numerical simulation results are analyzed, and the distribution of the equivalent stress and frictional stress is discussed. The maximum equivalent stress of the braided corrugated hose occurs at the braided tube, with the value of 903MPa. The maximum equivalent stress of the bellows occurs at the area in contact with the braided tube, with the value of 314MPa. The maximum frictional stress between the bellows and the braided tube is 88.46MPa. The tensile experiment of the DN25 braided corrugated hose is performed. The simulation results are in good agreement with test data, with a maximum error of 9.4%, verifying the rationality of the model.

Aluminum Profiles

Flat receptacle, which is used in extruding the large aluminum profiles, is in harsh work conditions. Due to the irregularity of inner hole of flat receptacle, inconsistent resistance of shrinking fitting affects the inner hole within which nonuniform deformation occurs. If the nonuniformity exceeds the specified dimension accuracy, tiresome work including mould repairing and structure optimization has to be done. ANSYS is used to simulate the flat receptacle. It is shown that the maximum stress appears in the arc area of inner hole. Therefore, we present one new method using the preloaded layer with changeable shrinkage to replace the preloaded layer with uniform shrinkage. Considering the processing and assembling factors, we adopt the elliptical outer layer and circular inner layer as the new structure. Then the optimizations of flat receptacle with uniform and changeable shrinkage are implemented using the optimizing module, receptively. The optimized results show the maximum equivalent stress in the corner of inner-hole decreases about 5.47% if adopting the changeable shrinkage. The numerical simulation results show that the feasibility of changeable shrinkage and elliptical preloaded layer.

On this basis, a geometric entity model of YS9-8 × 19 braided wire rope is established. Through mesh generation, a finite element model of braided wire rope is obtained. Constraints and loads are applied for numerical simulation calculations. The numerical simulation results are analyzed to reveal the stress and deformation distribution rules of the rope strands along the rope axis direction and on the cross sections of strands. Tensile tests of YS9-8 × 19 steel wire ropes are performed. The test data and the analogous simulation results coincide, verifying the rationality of the model. The study provides theoretical bases for subsequent frictional wear and life studies on this steel wire rope.

For the large centrifugal fan impeller, its working condition generally is bad, and its geometry generally is complex. So its displacements and stresses distribution are also complex. In this paper, we can obtain the fan impeller’s displacements and stresses distribution accurately through numerical simulation in G4-73 type centrifugal fan impeller using the finite element method software ANSYS. The calculation result shows that the maximum total displacement of the impeller is m, it occurs on the position of the half of the blade near the outlet of the impeller; and the maximum equivalent stress of the impeller is 193 MPa, it occurs on the contacted position of the blade and the shroud near inlet of the impeller. Furthermore, check the impeller strength, the result shows that the strength of the impeller can meet the requirement.

The Stability

When performing anterolateral foraminotomy for the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy, the extent of uncinate process resection affects the stability of the cervical spine. The aim of this study was to determine the stability of the cervical spine after resection of various amounts of the uncinate process. Based on computed tomography (CT) scans of an adult male volunteer, a three-dimensional geometric model of the cervical spine (C4-C6) was established using Mimics 13.1, SolidWorks 2012, and ANSYS 15.0 software packages. Next, the mechanical parameters of the tissues were assigned according to their different material characteristics. Using the tetrahedral mesh method, a three-dimensional finite element model of the cervical spine was then established. In modeling uncinated process resection, two excision protocols were compared. The first excision protocol, protocol A, mimicked the extent of resection used in current clinical surgical practice. The second excision protocol, protocol B, employed an optimal resection extent as predicted by the finite element model. Protocols A and B were then used to resect the left uncinate process of the C5 vertebra to either 50% or 60% of the total height of the uncinate process. The stability of the cervical spine was assessed by evaluating values of deformation and maximum equivalent stress during extension, flexion, lateral bending, and rotation. After protocol A resection, the total deformation was increased as was the maximum equivalent stress during left and right rotation. After protocol B resection, the total deformation was little changed and the maximum equivalent stress was visibly decreased during left and right rotation. As evidenced by these results, protocol B resection had relatively little effect on the stability of the cervical spine, suggesting that resection utilizing the limits proposed in protocol B appears to better maintain the stability of the cervical spine when compared with current clinical surgical practice as replicated in protocol A.

Abstract Due to the combined effects of natural and human factors, the ground subsidence is aggravated, which brings potential hazards to the normal operation of buried polyethylene (PE) pipelines. A variety of variables influences the safety of buried pipelines, while the existing research lacks detailed analysis on the issue. A finite element model of buried PE pipeline was developed to analyze how various factors affected the strength of PE pipeline under ground subsidence. Furthermore, the orthogonal test combined with the gray correlation degree was used to analyze the significance of each influencing factor. The results show that (1) the strain rate of the pipe is different at different ground subsidence rates, and the maximum equivalent stress of the pipe increases with the increase of the strain rate; (2) the maximum equivalent stress diminishes with the increasing wall thickness of the pipeline and the length of the transition section; and (3) the factor that has the most significant influence on the maximum equivalent stress of the pipeline is the settlement, followed by the strain rate and the length of the transition section. The internal pressure has the least influence on the maximum equivalent stress in the context of ground subsidence induced stresses.

The objective of the present work is the study of the rubbing failure between fan stator vanes and the spacer ring of a Turbo-Fan Engine. The similar failures appeared 2 times in this small turbo-fan engine. The failure mechanism is analysed, in which kinds of factors that could influence the clearance between the rotor and the stator are taken into account. The failure is analysed by means of both test characterizations and numerical simulation techniques. Firstly, a finite element model of the spline joints is used to calculate the stiffness of the fan-rotor considering the influence of locating surface clearance. Secondly, a traveling wave vibration analysis of the spacer ring is performed, as well as the analysis of the stator vane. Finally, the analysis of the vibration test data is performed. The test characterizations and numerical simulation results indicate that, for Engine-1, the large 2×vibration shows a rotor misalignment, at the same time the traveling wave resonance of the spacer ring occurs, these cause the appearance of the failure. For Engine-2, the failure is caused by the rotor unbalance vibration. Some improvement measures are proposed to avoid this failure.

The Impact

To precisely evaluate the retrofitting effectiveness of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) sheets on the impact response of reinforced concrete (RC) T-beams, a non-linear finite element model was developed to simulate the structural response of T-beams with CFRP under impact loads. The numerical model was firstly verified by comparing the numerical simulation results with the experimental data, i.e., impact force, reaction force, and mid-span displacement. The strengthening effect of CFRP was analyzed from the section damage evaluation. Then the impact force, mid-span displacement, and failure mode of CFRP-strengthened RC T-beams were studied in comparison with those of un-strengthened T-beams. In addition, the influence of the impact resistance of T-beams strengthened with FRP was investigated in terms of CFRP strengthening mode, CFRP strengthening sizes, CFRP layers and FRP material types. The numerical simulation results indicate that the overall stiffness of the T-beams was improved significantly due to external CFRP strips. Compared with the un-strengthened beam, the maximum mid-span displacement of the CFRP-strengthened beam was reduced by 7.9%. Additionally, the sectional damage factors of the whole span of the CFRP-strengthened beam were reduced to less than 0.3, indicating that the impact resistance of the T-beams was effectively enhanced.
