The research carried out within this paper addresses the issue of impact analysis with a spherical ball of an automobile fender, following two directions: the finite element method modeling of named part and situation, and experimental validation of the study mentioned beforehand. The part itself - car fender - is represented by a thermoset composite panel armed with Kevlar-Carbon fibers, while the analyzed situation is depicted as a Charpy/Izod test with a spherical ball on the specified component. The evaluation of named inquiry is performed in a virtual environment by means of FEA and verified accordingly within laboratory testing.

Abstract A method is proposed for predicting form errors due to both clamping and cutting forces in face milling and turning. It allows complex tool trajectories and workpiece geometries. Error computation is performed by the finite element method. An experimental validation of the model for face milling is presented. Two industrial applications are produced in order to demonstrate the capabilities of the method.

Abstract Concerning the development of portable optical disk products, higher impact resistant of the optical pick-up is required. Conventionally, cut and try measures, mainly based on experiment were applied to these problems, and it took much time and cost. Therefore, we developed this drop impact analysis of the optical pick-up based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) and clarified the failure mechanism of the suspension wire breaking with drop impact. With this analysis method, we also developed a new optical pick-up with a curved suspension wire, and realized much higher impact resistance.

On the human-rifle system, the human body is affected by the firing impact. The firing impact will reduce the firing accuracy and change the initial shooting posture. Therefore the study of biomechanical characteristics using human-rifle modeling and numerical investigation is needed. The muscle-skeleton model was developed by the finite element method using beam and spar elements. In this study, a structural analysis has been performed in order to investigate the human body impact by firing a 5.56mm small caliber machine gun. The firing experiments with a standing shooting posture were performed to verify analytical results. The result of this study shows analytical displacements of the human-rifle system and experimental displacements of real firing. In the results, the analytical displacement on the human body is presented.

AbstractWithin the scope of experiments, the effect of aramid and glass yarns as stitch and biaxial (warp and weft) yarns in the biaxial weft knitted (BWK) composite was compared. After production of four types of composite panel using the hand lay-up method, the tensile and bending properties of the BWK composites were investigated both experimentally and numerically. The composite with the glass stitch and biaxial yarns exhibited higher tensile and bending properties than did the composite with the aramid stitch and biaxial yarns. The good agreement between the experimental results and the numerical results validated the applicability of the finite-element method for the BWK composites. The laminate beam theory was utilized as another modeling method for calculation of the bending modulus.

In this work, study on impact damage FEM model of composite structure was performed. From the finite element method analysis results of composite laminate, it was confirmed that the results of analysis was reasonable. The velocity of impactor to initiate damage was estimated, and in order to investigate the damage at the predicted velocity, impact analysis using finite element method was performed. According to the impact analysis results of composite laminate, it was confirmed that the damage was generated at the estimated impact velocity. Finally, the comparison of the numerical results with those measured by the experiment showed good agreement.

In the present study a numerical-experimental method for the identification of the elastic properties of stiffened composite panel from experimental vibration analysis is carried out. The elastic properties of a panel are found by an identification procedure based on the method of experiment design, the response surface approach, and the finite element method. The results obtained were verified by comparing the experimentally measured eigenfrequencies with the numerical ones obtained by FEM at the point of optima.
