The main objective of this study is to analyze the structural response of a boat during a slamming event using the Finite Element Method in a Small Water Area Twin Hull (SWATH) type boat.  In the mentioned load condition, the acceptance criteria established by a classification society must be fulfilled, taking into account the areas where this event affects the structure such as the junction deck, the pontoons and other structural members established by the standard, all this generated by the high pressure loads in the ship's structure in a very short period of time being an element of study in this type of vessels, as long as they are within the range of high speed vessels. Among the main results of this study were the deformations and stresses in the structure obtained under the reference parameters of the classification society.

In order to study the distribution of the stress field in the high-speed intermittent cutting process, finite element model of high-speed intermittent cutting is established. Exponential material model of the constitutive equation and adaptive grid technology are applied in the finite element analysis software AdvantEdge. The material processing is simulated under certain cutting conditions with FEM ( Finite Element Method ) and the distribution of cutting force, stress field, and temperature field are received. A periodic variation to the cutting force and temperature is showed in the simulation of high-speed intermittent cutting. Highest value of the milling temperature appears in front contacting area of the knife -the chip.and maximum stress occurs at the tip of tool or the vicinity of the main cutting edge. The analysis of stress and strain fields in-depth is of great significance to improve tool design and durability of tool.

Explicit finite element method modeling of granular flow behavior in an annular shear cell has been studied and presented in this paper. The explicit finite element method (FEM) simulations of granular flow in an annular shear cell with around 1633 particles were performed, where the inner wheel rotated at a very high speed and the outer disk remained stationary. The material properties of the particles and the outer wheel were defined as elastic steel whereas the inner wheel was elastic aluminum. In this investigation, the explicit FEM model mimicked granular flow in an experimental set up where the inner wheel was rotated at a speed of 240 rpm. The FEM results for shearing motion and solid fraction were compared with experimental results from a granular shear cell.

Combined the analytic method with the finite element method, the data necessary for calculating the heat distribution ratio for high speed cutting was mined first, and the experimental result was used to validate the authenticity of finite element modeling. Then, the ratio of heat distribution for high speed cutting based on the analytic model was obtained by customizing the special subroutine developed by the authors, which provides a new method for calculating the heat distribution.

The deformation of Geneva wheels resulting from a unit normal unit force applied at the point of contact between the driving pin and the wheel is determined using the finite element method. The dynamic and static forces driving the Geneva wheel, and wheel deformations are computed. The output of the flexible Geneva wheel is determined with the help of an interpolating polynomial. An interactive process is used to update the dynamic component of the force based on the computed wheel acceleration values. Results indicate that the output of high speed flexible Geneva wheels is different from that obtained for Geneva mechanism having non-deforming links.

Foil journal bearings come under the category of air lubricated journal bearings where the lubricant is atmospheric air. In this type of bearings the pressure developed is due to the aerodynamic wedge developed between the rotating shaft and the foil bearing surface. This paper is concerned with the analysis of the bending dominated type foil bearing, in which the compliance is effected mainly through the bending of foils. The nonlinear Reynolds equation has been used for the aerodynamic pressure solution. Effect of elastohydrodynamics on foil journal bearing has been studied. The problem has been formulated using incremental finite element method. Two types of bending dominated foil bearings have been considered for analysis, namely straight foil type and curved foil type bearings. The equations for the dynamic coefficients were obtained by a perturbation technique and the results were computed using the finite element method. The effect of bearing compliance and the bearing number on performance parameters has been studied, the results were compared with the available literature.
