The dynamic behavior of rotor-bearing system has been investigated using finite element method. A procedure is presented for dynamic modeling of rotor-bearing system which consists of shaft elements, rigid disk, flexible bearing and support structure. A finite element model including the effects of rotary inertia, shear deformation, gyroscopic moments is developed. Linear stiffness and damping coefficients are calculated for 2 lobe sleeve bearing. The whirl frequency, mode shape, stability and unbalance response of rotor system including effects of bearing coefficient and support structures are calculated.

The choice of suitable hip implant is one of important factors in total hip replacement (THR). In clinical view points, improper adaptation of hip implant might cause abnormal stress distribution to the bone, which can shorten the lifespan of replaced hip implant. Currently, interest in custom-designed hip implants has increased as studies reveals the importance of geometric shape of patient's femur in modeling and designing custom hip implants. In this study, we have developed the custom-designed hip implant models with various sizes in hip implant, and the stress distribution in the bone was analyzed using Finite Elements methods. It was found that minimizing the gap between implant stem and femoral cavity is crucial to minimize stress concentration in the bone.

Friction problems involving rubber components are frequently encountered in industrial applications. Their treatment within the framework of numerical simulations by means of the Finite Element Method (FEM) is the main issue of this paper. Special emphasis is placed on the choice of a suitable material model and the formulation of a contact model specially designed for the particular characteristics of rubber friction. A coupled thermomechanical approach allows for consideration of the influence of temperature on the frictional behavior. The developed tools are implemented in the commercial FE code ABAQUS. They are validated taking the sliding motion of a rubber tread block as example. Such simulations are frequently encountered in tire design and development. The simulations are carried out with different formulations for the material and the frictional behavior. Comparison of the obtained results with experimental observations enables to judge the suitability of the applied formulations on a structural scale.

This paper features about the modeling and design of a fast output sampling feedback controller for a smart Timoshenko beam system for a SISO case by considering the first 3 vibratory modes. The beam structure is modeled in state space form using FEM technique and the Timoshenko beam theory by dividing the beam into 4 finite elements and placing the piezoelectric sensor/actuator at one location as a collocated pair, i.e., as surface mounted sensor/actuator, say, at FE position 2. State space models are developed for various aspect ratios by considering the shear effects and the axial displacements. The effects of changing the aspect ratio on the master structure is observed and the performance of the designed FOS controller on the beam system is evaluated for vibration control.

In this research we present design optimization methods for a vehicle-mounted satellite antenna positioner. Our initial antenna positioner was conservatively designed to satisfy a worst case scenario where wind blew across the positioner at the speed of 120 km/h. Investigating stresses and safety based on Finite Element Methods (FEM), we find reflector support frames can be optimized to significantly reduce the weight of the positioner system. Thus, we optimize the reflector support frame from the given initial design while considering weight, maximum stress, maximum allowable deflection, cross section, and thickness. As a result, Shape C and the thickness of 2 mm are determined for the cross section of the reflector support frame. Applying this result, the weight of the new antenna positioner is 57.343 kg, which is decreased by 10.74% compared to the initial conservative design.

Numerical simulation of sheet metal forming for panels as other components has wide acceptance in the automotive industry. Therefore this paper was focused in the drawability factors (which are friction coefficient , radius of die and punch ) on the square cup deep drawing by the explicit finite elements code $PAM-STAMP^{TM}$. The computed results are compared with the experimental results to show the validity of the analysis. In order to compare the simulation results with the experiment results and predict the effect of drawability factors, the relationships between punch load punch stroke, and the relationships between thickness strain and distance are used. According to this study, the results of simulation by using $PAM-STAMP^{TM}$ will give engineers good information to access the drawability of square drawing.

This paper presents the new design and validation process of the linear transverse flux machine of the stelzer machine for hybrid vehicle application. A linear transverse flux machine is a novel electric machine that has higher force density and power than conventional electric machine. The process concentrates on 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional analysis using equivalent magnetic circuit method considering leakage elements and it is verified by finite element analysis. Besides the force characteristics of all axis of each direction are analyzed. The study is considered by dividing the transverse flux electric excited type and the transverse flux permanent magnet excited type. Additionally three-dimensional analysis in this machine is accomplished due to asymmetric structure with another three axes. Finally, it suggests the new design and validation process of linear transverse flux machine for stelzer machine.

본 논문은 외부의 충격력을 차단하고, 충격에너지를 흡수하는 헬멧의 강도안전과 변형거동에 대한 수치적 연구를 수행한 것이다. 기존헬멧과, 보강뼈대와 주름댐퍼를 추가적으로 설치한 4개의 헬멧모델에 대한 응력 및 변형거동을 유한요소법으로 해석하였다. 헬멧의 정상부에 보강뼈대를 설치하면 헬멧의 강도 안전 향상에 유용하고, 헬멧의 하단부에 주름댐퍼를 설치하면 충격에너지 흡수효과가 우수하다는 것을 FEM 해석결과를 통해 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 첨단헬멧을 안전하게 설계하기 위해서는 보강뼈대와 주름댐퍼를 새로운 설계요소로 고려할 것을 권장한다.

In this paper, a new capacitive pressure sensor has been proposed for a displacement measurement. The new sensor is mainly composed of a gap of $5{\mu}m$ and a notch of $1{\mu}m$. And the sensor has the performance as the high sensitivity and capacitance compared with a commercial capacitive sensor. Therefore, the advantages of the new capacitive pressure sensor are good sensitivity in normal range, mechanically robust and large overload protection. The analytical model is induced for confirming the performance of the proposed sensor. In addition, FEM (finite elements method) simulation has been performed to verify the analytical model. Firstly, the displacement characteristics of diaphragm membrane were simulated by the analytical model and FEM in the case of different structure and materials. At last, through this analysis, these simulation results can be predicted the change of the performance when the device parameters are varied. And it is used as a design tool to achieve at a set of performance we desired.

This paper proposes a new approach to model the screw joints of integrated ceilings via the finite element method (FEM). The simulation models consist of the beam elements. The screw joints used in the main bars and cross bars and in the W bars and cross bars are assumed to be rotation springs. The stiffness of the rotation springs is defined according to the technical standards proposed by the National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management of Japan. By comparing the results of the sheer tests and the simulation models, the effectiveness and efficiency of the simulation models proposed in this paper are verified. This paper indicates the possibility that the seismic performance of suspended ceilings can be confirmed directly via beam element models using FEM if the stiffnesses of the screw joints of the ceiling substrates are appropriately defined. Because cross-sectional shapes, physical properties, and other variables of the ceiling substrates can be easily changed in the models, it is expected that suspended ceiling manufactures will be able to design and confirm the seismic performance of suspended ceilings with different cross-sectional shapes or materials via computers, instead of spending large amounts of time and money on shake table tests.
