Application of System Analysis for Technological Processes Investigation

System analysis is used as the effective way for design and modification of different kinds of technical systems. Application of system analysis to any technological process allows to present the links between input and output parameters which makes it possible to analyze its effectiveness and effect on the process for manufacturing of the object with necessary level of quality. The paper presents results of system analysis application for multioperational technological processes. The main aim of hot rolling process is manufacturing the hot rolled metal sheet with definite geometrical parameters which are necessary for further cold rolling process. The scheme of hot rolling operation with its input and output links is presented. The obtained results can be used for mathematical modeling of hot rolling operation. It is shown the application of system analysis for technological process of coating on the example of vacuum ion-plasma coating process. Because of existence of operated, noncontrolled, and indignant parameters of the coating process application of system analysis is the effective way for structural analysis of this technical system. It is proposed to supplement system analysis with function-oriented analysis. This approach can state the links between properties of the object which are sufficient for its application and technological parameters of the manufacturing technological process.

Analysis of the States of Deformation and Stress in the Surface Layer of the Product after the Burnishing Cold Rolling Operation

The article presents the results of computer modelling and numerical simulations the deformation and stresses occurring in the surface layer of the product after the burnishing cold rolling operation. Technological processes were considered as a geometrical and physical boundary and initial value problem, with unknown boundary conditions in the contact zone. An incremental model of the contact problem between movable rigid or elastic body (tool) and elastic/visco-plastic body (object) in updated Lagrange formulation, for spatial states (3D) was considered. The incremental functional of the total energy and variational, non-linear equation of motion and deformation of object on the typical step time were derived. This equation has been discretized by finite element method, and the system of discrete equations of motion of objects was received. For solution of these equations the explicit methods was used. The applications were developed in the ANSYS/LS-Dyna system, which makes possible a complex time analysis of the states of displacements, strains and stresses, in the workpieces in fabrication processes. Application of this method was showed for examples the modelling and the analysis of the asperities with apex angles θ = 85°, 120° and 156°. The Bielajew point using finite elements methodology was indicated. The simulation results were verified experimentally.

The electronic properties and nonlinear optical responses of the intermediate structures in rolling graphene to carbon nanotubes

From the same piece of finite size graphene (F-graphene) sheet through different directions (zigzag edge or armchair edge), (4, 4) and (8, 0) carbon nanotube clips form. The electronic properties of the intermediate structures in the two rolling processes 44 (zigzag) and 80 (armchair) have been investigated using quantum chemistry method. The magnetism of the F-graphene sheet disappears with the rolling operation in 44, while it is maintained throughout the whole rolling operation in 80. Furthermore, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) α and HOMO β gradually extend to the whole framework from the zigzag edges with the rolling operation in 44, and they gradually localize to the lower and upper half of the framework in 80. Oxygen passivation along the opening of the intermediate structures effectively improves the nonlinear optical (NLO) response of the intermediate structures in both the zigzag and the armchair processes. Oxygen passivation along the armchair opening in 80 enhances the βtot value, yet does not bring essential changes to the electron transitions contributed to the NLO response. Oxygen passivation along the zigzag opening in 44 is able not only to enhance the βtot value but also to change the transition nature of electron excitations with a major contribution to the NLO response.
