In order to obtain homogeneous and high quality products in powder compaction forging process, it is very important to control stress, strain, density and density distributions. Therefore, it is necessary to understand quantitatively the elasto-plastic deformation and densification behaviors of porous metals and metal powders. In this study, elasto-plastic finite element method using Lee-Kim's pressure dependent porous material yield function has been used for the analysis of three dimensional indenting process. The analysis predicts deformed geometry, stress, strain and density distribution and load. The calculated load is in good agreement with experimental one. The calculated results do not show axisymmetric distributions because of the edge effect. The core part which is in contact with the indentor and the outer diagonal edge part are in compressive stress states and the middle part is in tensile stress state. As a results, it can be concluded that three dimensional analysis is more realistic than axisymmetric assumption approach.

Three-dimensional graphic objects created by MATLAB are exported to the AUTOCAD program through the MATLAB handle functions. The imported SAT format files are used to produce the finite element mesh for MSC.PATRAN. Based on the Monte-Carlo random sample principle, the material heterogeneity of cement composites with randomly distributed fibers is described by the WEIBULL distribution function. In this paper, a concept called "soft region" including micro-defects, micro-voids, etc. is put forward for the simulation of crack propagation in fiber-reinforced cement composites. The performance of the numerical model is demonstrated by several examples involving crack initiation and growth in the composites under three-dimensional stress conditions: tensile loading; compressive loading and crack growth along a bimaterial interface.

Unsteady-state temperature distributions in the high precision spindle system with built-in motor are studied. For the analysis, three dimensional model is built for the high precision spindle. The three dimensional model includes the estimation on the amount of heat generation of bearing and built-in motor and the thermal characteristic values such as heat transfer coefficient. Temperature distributions are computed using the finite element method. Analysis results are compared with the measured data. Analysis shows that temperature distributions of high precision spindle system can be estimated resonably using the three dimensional model through the finite element method.

We analyzed a sequence of multi-stage automatic cold forging processes composed of four axisymmetric processes followed by a non-axisymmetric process using rigid-plastic finite element based forging simulators. The forging sequence selected for an example involves a piercing process and a heading process accompanying folding or overlapping, which all make it difficult to simulate the processes. To reduce computational time and to enhance the solution reliability, only the non-symmetric process was analyzed by the three-dimensional approach after the axisymmetric processes were analyzed by the two-dimensional approach. It has been emphsized that this capability is very helpful in simulating the multi-stage automatic forging processes which are next to axisymmetric.

Based on the traditional mechanical model of thin-walled straight beam, the paper makes analysis and research on the pre-twisted thin-walled beam finite element numerical model. Firstly, based on the geometric deformation differential relationship, the Saint-Venant warping strain of pre-twisted thin-walled beam is deduced. According to the traditional thin-walled straight beam finite element mechanical model, the finite element stiffness matrix considering the Saint-Venant warping deformations is established. At the same time, the paper establishes the element stiffness matrix of the pre-twisted thin-walled beam based on the classic Vlasov Theory. Finally, by calculating the pre-twisted beam with elliptical section and I cross section and contrasting three-dimensional solid finite element using ANSYS, the comparison analysis results show that pre-twisted thin-walled beam element stiffness matrix has good accuracy.

This study was intended to provide efficient algorithms for high quality postprocess on the basis of microcomputers with limited capacity and functionality. Improved methods of postprocessing including stress contouring, internal force diagraming, and displacement animation, were proposed and implemented into a new finite element system. Visualization of three-dimensional structural behaviors was treated with special emphasis.

Vacuum interrupters have a special asymmetric electrode structure to generate an magnetic field and consequently to increase the interrupting ability. Accordingly 2-dimensional analysis has a large analysis error because radial flux can not be considered. In this paper, in order to analyse the electric field distribution of a vacuum interrupter with arc shield more accurately, 3-dimensional finite element method(FEM) is used. The induced electric potentials of floating shield was increased with the gap distance, which is because the relative position of shield is closer to the fixed contact so that the capacitance distribution inside interrupter is varied. The calculated results also show that the induced potential of shield causes electric field distortion so that the maximum value of electric field in a vacuum interrupter with arc shield is higher than that without one.

In this paper, the characteristics of the coaxial magnetic gear according to the shape of the same gear ratio are analyzed using the two - dimensional finite element analysis. The rotor shape is SMCMG, CPCMG and RCMG. After this we analyzed the characteristics according to three shapes. Also, the amount of permanent magnet used in each shape was compared. Next, characteristics analysis of the magnetic gear according to the shape at the same torque was performed. And the total weight and efficiency of the magnetic gears were compared and verified.
