Gener...

The aeroelastic response of a bird-damaged fan stage at the inlet of a high-bypass ratio turbofan engine is examined using a combined CFD/CSD model. ANSYS CFX is used for the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) calculations combined with the ANSYS Multifield (MFX) solver that couples ANSYS CFX with ANSYS Mechanical APDL to perform aeroelastic response calculations. The damaged fan sector consists...

Electromagnetic levitated and guided system is commonly used in the field of people transport, tool machines frictionless bearing and conveyor system. In the case of low speed people transport vehicles, the electromagnetic levitation offers the advantage of a very salient motion and of a reduced maintenance of the rail.In this work FEM based analysis and design of different structure of rail (g...

A Finite element analysis has been done using ANSYS, to study the static strength of an offshore tubular T-joint. The strength of T-tubular joints with circular cross section tube chord with circular cross section tube brace is investigated. To determine the joint strength of these T-joint subjected to tension, compression, in -plane bending and out-of-plane bending loading cases have been carr...

It is possible to model smart structures with piezoelectric materials using the product ANSYS/Multiphysics. In this study, the integration of control actions into the ANSYS solution is realized. First, the procedure is tested on the active vibration control problem with a two-degrees of freedom system. The analytical results obtained by the Laplace transform method and by ANSYS are compared. Th...

The machine tool spindle provides the relative motion between the cutting tool and the workpiece which is necessary to perform a material removal operation. In turning, it is the physical link between the machine tool structure and the workpiece, while in processes like milling, drilling or grinding, it links the structure and the cutting tool. This work deals with design and analysis of Lathe ...

At ANSYS Workbench 11.0, the ANSYS Rigid Dynamics add-on module enables users to define joint connections in complex kinematic assemblies. This ability to model rigid and flexible parts in ANSYS Workbench Simulation via joints is beneficial since the rigid parts are modeled with mass and rigid links (that is, rigid contact elements), thus providing load transfer capabilities and allowing users ...
