The sealing system, as the most important load-bearing component, is a critical part of stack assembly in proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Currently, flat or single-peak gaskets are commonly used for large metal bipolar plate sealing, which can easily cause problems such significant internal stress and distortion displacement. In order to solve this problem, an innovative double-peak...

The aim of this study is to examine displacements, strains and stresses as well predict possible failure mechanisms arising at the yarn-matrix level a test specimen railway composite cord-rubber air brake tube undergoing uniaxial tension by microscale modelling.Furthermore, paper also aims verify material properties micromodel specimen.The based on macromodels (by matching boundary conditions m...

Abstract The transition of polymer adhesives from an initially liquid to a fully cured viscoelastic state is accompanied by three phenomenological effects, namely increase in stiffness and viscosity conjunction with decrease volume (curing shrinkage). Under consideration these phenomena, some us (Hossain et al. Computational Mechanics 46:363-375, 2010) have devised generic, finite strain framew...

The inverse finite element method is a technique that can be used for material model parameter characterization. literature shows this approach may get caught in the local minima of design space. These minimum solutions often fit test data with small errors and are mistaken optimal solution. problem these sub-optimal becomes apparent when applied to different loading conditions where significan...

This paper aimed to investigate the cornering characteristics of a Regional Haul Steer II, RHS 315/80 R22.5 truck tire traveling on dry, hard surface using Finite element analysis (FEA). research was carried out commercial Element software and Pam-Crash in an Explicit Environment. A finite model developed apply terrain condition. The concentrated loads boundary conditions for rim wheel were app...

Experiments have shown that shear waves induced in brain tissue can develop into shock waves, thus providing a possible explanation of deep traumatic injuries. Here, we study the formation soft viscoelastic solids subject to an imposed velocity at their boundary. We consider plane shearing motion semi-infinite half-space, which corresponds spatially one-dimensional problem. Incompressible whose...
