Abstract The application of finite-element analysis in rubber technology has been discussed. The intent has been to combine features of a tutorial, an exposition, and a survey. Attention has been limited to homogeneous cured rubber products. The finite-element method is a prime constituent of computer-aided engineering, and, as such, it is a powerful resource for the design and analysis of rubber components. Owing to rapid progress and greater availability of computer hardware and software and, in particular, computer-aided design systems, finite-element analysis is eminently practical. Difficulties such as incompressibility and large deformation, the subjects of a substantial literature, appear to have been successfully addressed. Finite-element analyses of rubber products such as seals and bearings have been published widely, often along with experimental validation. However, note that the implementation of the hyperelastic element in major codes has occurred recently. And, at the time of this review, in several codes, the elements are still quite limited, for example, to plane strain. Thus, it appears that rubber technology has yet to see the full impact of the finite-element method.

The application of computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques is becoming essential in modern metal-forming technology. Thus process modeling for the determination of deformation mechanics has been a major concern in research . In light of these developments, the finite element method--a technique by which an object is decomposed into pieces and treated as isolated, interacting sections--has steadily assumed increased importance. This volume addresses advances in modern metal-forming technology, computer-aided design and engineering, and the finite element method.

Abstract The finite element method has been used widely in tire engineering. Most tire simulations using the finite element method are static analyses, because tires are very complex nonlinear structures. Recently, transient phenomena have been studied with explicit finite element analysis codes. In this paper, the authors demonstrate the feasibility of tire cornering simulation using an explicit finite element code, PAM-SHOCK. First, we propose the cornering simulation using the explicit finite element analysis code. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed simulation, computed cornering forces for a 175SR14 tire are compared with experimental results from an MTS Flat-Trac Tire Test System. The computed cornering forces agree well with experimental results. After that, parametric studies are conducted by using the proposed simulation.

Recently, studies concerning motorcycle have been an overwhelming area of research interest. As an alternative to the real world assessment, researchers have utilized motorcycle simulator as a workstation to conduct studies in the motorcycle niche area. This paper deal with the development of a new motorcycle simulator named Semi-Interface Motorcycle Simulator (SiMS). Combination of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software made it possible to design and simulates the motorcycle simulator’s conceptual design before being fabricated. The SiMS setup not only provides a near-to-real and immerse motorcycle riding experience on a super sport motorcycle model, but it also allows safer high speed motorcycle simulations to be conducted in a controlled environment that is portable and ergonomically easier to transport to various venues.

Some corrections have been made hitherto to explain the great discrepancy between experimental and theoretical values of the magnetoelastic buckling field of a ferromagnetic beam plate. To solve this problem, the finite-element method was applied. A magnetic field and buckling equations of the ferromagnetic beam plate finite in size were solved numerically assuming that the magnetic torque is proportional to the rotation of the plate and by using a disturbed magnetic torque deduced by Moon. Numerical and experimental results agree well with each other within 25 percent.
