Multimodal Mechanical Testing of Additively Manufactured Ti6Al4V Lattice Structures: Compression, Bending, and Fatigue

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In this experimental study, the mechanical properties of additively manufactured Ti‐6Al‐4V lattice structures of different geometries are characterized using compression, four point bending and fatigue testing. While TPMS designs show superior fatigue resistance, SplitP and Honeycomb lattice structures combine high stiffness and strength. The resulting

Evaluation of coupled finite element/meshfree method for a robust full-scale crashworthiness simulation of railway vehicles

Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2016
The crashworthiness of a railway vehicle relates to its passive safety performance. Due to mesh distortion and difficulty in controlling the hourglass energy, conventional finite element methods face great challenges in crashworthiness simulation of ...

Analysis of Chisel Plough Shovel Designs Using Finite Element Methods

Iraqi Journal of Industrial Research
The chisel plow is the most common plow due to its ease of operation. It goes deep into the soil to a relatively large depth. It also does not leave large clumps on the soil surface after plowing, as it breaks and loosens the soil without turning it. In

Mapping methods for computationally efficient and accurate structural reliability [PDF]

Mapping methods are developed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of probabilistic structural analyses with coarse finite element meshes. The mapping methods consist of the following: (1) deterministic structural analyses with fine (convergent) finite

Thermoelectric Modules Incorporating MgAgSb and Mg3(Sb,Bi)2 Synthesized Using a Melting Method

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A scalable synthesis method for a thermoelectric material of MgAgSb is established. A thermoelectric power module of MgAgSb/Mg3(Sb,Bi)2 is fabricated, showing the conversion efficiency of 7.4% at ΔT = 315 K. The performance is comparable to conventional Bi2Te3 modules when they are operated with an air‐cooled heat exchanger.

Trace Finite Element Methods for PDEs on Surfaces

, 2016
In this paper we consider a class of unfitted finite element methods for discretization of partial differential equations on surfaces. In this class of methods known as the Trace Finite Element Method (TraceFEM), restrictions or traces of background ...

3D‐Printed Serial Snap‐Through Architectures for Programmable Mechanical Response

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A serial snap‐through architecture is realized using compact 3D‐printed von Mises truss units arranged in a staged cascade. Their geometry and boundary conditions program multistage mechanical responses with plateaux and re‐hardening regimes. An inverted‐compliance model predicts these behaviors and enables analytical design of programmable force ...

FLOW SIMULATIONS IN CROSS-FLOW FANS USING THE FINITE ELEMENT AND FINITE VOLUME METHODS

TASK Quarterly, 2004
Both basic computational fluid dynamics methods: the finite element method (FEM) and the finite volume method (FVM) have been used to simulate flow fields in a cross-flow fan (CFF).
