The hot forging process for hard-to-work metal magnesium alloy was studied, and the 3D thermomechanical FE simulation including 3D processing maps of complex hot forging spur bevel gear was first conducted. The hot forging experiments were carried out. The results show that the new method is reasonable and suitable to determine the aoorooriate nrocess narameters.展开更多

The impact of voltage, temperature, substrate concentration, and LET on SET is studied. Our simulation results demonstrate that biases in the range 1.62 to 1.98V influence DSET current shape greatly and total collected charge weakly. Peak current and charge collection within 2ns decreases as temperature increases,and temperature has a stronger influence on SET currents than on total charge. Typical variation of substrate concentration in modern VDSM processes has a negligible effect on SEEs. Both peak current and total collection charge increases as LET increases.展开更多

Therefore predicting the effects of technological parameters for production of castings on the thermal stress during solidification process becomes an important means. In this paper, the mathematical models have been established and numerical calculation of temperature fields by using finite difference method (FDM) and then thermal stress fields by using finite element method (FEM) during solidification process of castings have been carried out. The technological parameters of production have been optimized by the results of calculation and the defects of hot cracking have been eliminated. Modeling and simulation of 3D thermal stress during solidification processes of large-sized castings provided a scientific basis, which promoted further development of advanced manufacturing technique.展开更多

A gas dispersion equation in a 3-D field is calculated by use of numerical method on a weighted upstream multi-element balance. Based on data of an example with a U type ventilation mode,surface charts of air pressure distribution and gas concentration are drawn by Graphtool software. Finally,a comparison between actually measured results in the model test and the numerical simulation results is made to proves the numerical implementation feasible.
文摘When heavy machines and large scaled receiver system of communication equipment are manufactured, it always needs to produce large-sized steel castings, aluminum castings and etc. Some defects of hot cracking by thermal stress often appear during solidification process as these castings are produced, which results in failure of castings. Therefore predicting the effects of technological parameters for production of castings on the thermal stress during solidification process becomes an important means. In this paper, the mathematical models have been established and numerical calculation of temperature fields by using finite difference method (FDM) and then thermal stress fields by using finite element method (FEM) during solidification process of castings have been carried out. The technological parameters of production have been optimized by the results of calculation and the defects of hot cracking have been eliminated. Modeling and simulation of 3D thermal stress during solidification processes of large-sized castings provided a scientific basis, which promoted further development of advanced manufacturing technique.

文摘The physiological structure of the upper respiratory tract is complex and varies with each individual,and the circulating air has turbulent performance.In this paper,based on computed tomography(CT)medical images published online and the three-dimensional(3D)printing technology,a 3D model of the human upper respiratory tract was reconstructed and an experimental device of the upper respiratory tract was made.We implemented the respiratory experiment and measured the flow rate,and a scale-adaptive κ-ω model is applied for numerical simulation,the results are in good agreement.The flow field during respiratory was analyzed by coronal velocity cross section,vortex line and particle tracks.We found that the relatively strong shear effect happens at the areas of nasal valve and nasopharynx.In the middle and upper nasal tract,vortex line separation occurs and there is significant passage effect.The results indicate that SAS method is effective in studying upper respiratory airflow.

文摘Based on the characteristics of 3D bulk forming process, the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation-based FEM is studied, and a prediction-correction ALE-based FEM is proposed which integrates the advantages of precisely predicting the boundary configuration of the deformed material, and of efficiently avoiding hexahedron remeshing processes. The key idea of the prediction-correction ALE FEM is elaborated in detail. Accordingly, the strategy of mesh quality control, one of the key enabling techniques for the 3D bulk forming process numerical simulation by the prediction-correction ALE FEM is carefully investigated, and the algorithm for hexahedral element refinement is formulated based on the mesh distortion energy.

文摘The radial ultrasonic rolling electrochemical micromachining(RUR-EMM)combined rolling electrochemical micromachining(R-EMM)and ultrasonic vibration was studied in this paper.The fundamental understanding of the machining process especially the interaction between multiphysics in the interelectrode gap(IEG)was investigated and discussed by the finite element method.The multiphysics coupling model including flow field model,Joule heating model,material dissolution model and vibration model was built.3D multiphysics simulation based on micro dimples process in RUR-EMM and R-EMM was proposed.Simulation results showed that the electrolyte flowed into and out IEG periodically,gas bubbles were easy to squeeze out and the gas void fraction deceased about 16%to 54%,the maximum current density increased by 1.36 times in RUR-EMM than in R-EMM in one vibration period of time.And application of the ultrasonic vibration increased the electrolyte temperature about 1.3–4.4%in IEG.Verification experiments of the micro dimple process denoted better corrosion consistency of array dimples in RUR-EMM,there was no island at the micro dimple bottom which always formed in R-EMM,and an aggregated deviation of less than 8.7%for the micro dimple depth and 4%for the material removal amount between theory and experiment was obtained.
文摘In this paper,various aspects of the 2D and 3D nonlinear liquid sloshing problems in vertically excited containers have been studied numerically along with the help of a modified-transformation.Based on this new numerical algorithm,a numerical study on a regularly and randomly excited container in vertical direction was conducted utilizing four different cases： The first case was performed utilizing a 2D container with regular excitations.The next case examined a regularly excited 3D container with two different initial conditions for the liquid free surface,and finally,3D container with random excitation in the vertical direction.A grid independence study was performed along with a series of validation tests.An iteration error estimation method was used to stop the iterative solver（used for solving the discretized governing equations in the computational domain） upon reaching steady state of results at each time step.In the present case,this method was found to produce quite accurate results and to be more time efficient as compared to other conventional stopping procedures for iterative solvers.The results were validated with benchmark results.The wave elevation time history,phase plane diagram and surface plots represent the wave nonlinearity during its motion.
