This paper deals with the coupled thermal structural analysis developed in Volvo heavy truck disc brake as a function of thickness and braking time. A ventilated type was employed by having vents (holes) on its surface, which needs cooling system. When pedal is applied, friction between pad tremendously increases due to heat generated this partitioned into two contacting bodies (disc rotor pad)...

The finite element (FE) method has been widely used in predicting the structural responses of asphalt pavements. However, the three-dimensional (3D) modeling in general-purpose FE software systems such as ABAQUS requires extensive computations and is relatively time-consuming. To address this issue, a specific computational code EasyFEM was developed based on the finite layer method (FLM) for a...

This paper aims to evaluate the dynamic response and failure mechanism of corrugated core composite metal sandwich structures under complicated fluid-structure interaction. Firstly, a reliable numerical model is established in ABAQUS/Explicit using Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) method. Subsequently, influence slamming velocity aluminum direction on studied virtue hydrodynamic force, deflect...

Abstract The inelastic deformation of a 30 m high-speed craft (HSC) subjected to slamming pressure is the main topic this research. In work, commercial software package ABAQUS FEA used predict structural behavior, especially in hull area under chine. Dynamic explicit solver simulations are done plastic deformation. Before principal analysis actual size ship structure model, numerical studies we...

In latest years small scale machining has been widely used in advanced engineering applications such as medical and optical devices, micro- nano-electro-mechanical systems. micromachining of metals, a depth cut becomes usually smaller than an average crystal size polycrystalline structure; thus, the cutting process zone can be localized fully indoors single grain. Due to crystallographic anisot...

<p>Terrorist attacks have nowadays become an important issue for the structural design of constructions such as bridges. Indeed, during last decades, increase in number terrorist has resulted loss many human lives and socio-economic impact on our society. The aims this research consist a series preliminary analyses view study effects explosion long-span suspension bridge. As bridge was co...

Variation design of open-cell foams located in the bumper car were investigated this paper. A brief experimental result on dynamic response crash was focused energy absorption and deformation behavior. The based typical compared with gradual density hexagonal foam type. method used imitate crashing real behavior explicit using ABAQUS simulation software some extra constraint, such as: object di...

Pressurized hybrid composite pipe structures, produced by filament wound subjected to impact loads, were numerically investigated. A combined 3D-FE Model based on the use of interlaminar and intralaminar damage models is established. Intralaminar damages such as matrix cracking fibre failures are predicted using 3D Hashin criteria, whereas (delamination) was evaluated cohesive zone elements. Th...

Impact resistance and damage tolerance after impact are important performance reference indices in the structural design of composite stiffened panels. The evolution failure mechanism panels with foam-filled hat-stiffeners under low-velocity compression (CAI) at different positions energies were studied by experimental numerical simulation methods. delamination caused was captured ultrasonic ph...
