2013, 32(9): 1249-1253.
Abstract:
The dynamics numerical simulation is more and more important in the product design of flexible net. The modeling and dynamical characteristic of rope element are discussed in this paper. Based on the finite element method,a new method is proposed to simulate flexible net with seatbelt element in LS-DYNA. The key points of modeling in the method are described,including definition of elements and material character,load setting,initial condition setting and the processing of contact relationship. The method is verified by a simulation for the deployment process of flexible net. The result shows that it is effective and robust to simulate of net deployment with LS-DYNA seatbelt elements,and the contact relationship between flexible net and entity can be realistically simulated with "nodes to surface" contact definition.

Abstract:
Dry friction platform damper system can be used to reduce the blade vibration amplitude. When the normal load between the contacts is becoming larger,dry friction damper will lose its damping characteristic. By considering this issue,an improved model is present.

The influence of damper stiffness coefficient,normal pressure of the contacts and the external excitation amplitude on vibration reduction is studied. Simulation results show that the improved model can better reflect the dynamic characteristics of the system.

Ge Yingfei, Xu Jiuhua, Zhang Shuai, Fu Yucan, Bian Weiliang
2013, 32(9): 1281-1286.
Abstract:
The effects of reinforcement's volume fraction and size,heat-treatment condition and cooling condition on the high-speed machinability were investigated when milling SiCp/2009Al composites at the cutting speed of 1200 m/ min using PCD tools. The results show that decreasing the volume fraction or using coolant will improve the high-speed milling machinability. When cutting the heat-treated composites,the machined surface is improved significantly but the increasing of cutting forces,decreasing of tool life and the tendency of producing saw-toothed chip are also evident. Keeping the volume fraction unchanged and increasing the average size of reinforcement will reduce the cutting forces and cutting temperature and prolong the tool life,but the machined surface quality will be decreased simultaneously.

Abstract:
Survival ability of a gear transmission system in helicopter after Loss-Of-Lubrication( LOL) is greatly dependent on the transient temperature fields of the systems. And the gearbox reversing bevel gear transmission system is extremely easy to failure after LOL because of its high rotate speed and power. So the transient thermal analysis of a helicopter gearbox reversing bevel gear transmission system is needed while design a new model. To research its transient temperature fields,a reversing bevel gear transmission system in gearbox is researched in this paper,and the calculation model of temperature field is established based on the thermal network. The tim-evariance characteristics of thermal physical parameters,such as viscosity,thermal conductivity are considered in this model. Numerical simulations are performed to calculate the steady temperature field and transient temperature field and the results of steady state temperature field in the transmission system are used as initial values of the transient temperature fields. The results agree well with the theoretical predictions.

2013, 32(9): 1303-1306.
Abstract:
In the grinding process,a portion of the coolant lubricant is accelerated into the contact zone by grinding wheel. Because of the wedge effect between grinding wheel and work-piece in the contact zone,hydrodynamic pressure is generated,which influences the grinding results. So it is necessary to study hydrodynamic pressure of the coolant. In this paper,a new model for the hydrodynamic pressure of coolant is presented. The simulation about distributing of hydrodynamic pressure was carried out. The results show that the hydrodynamic pressure is affected by grinding wheel velocity and the minimum gap between grinding wheel and work-piece. On the other hand,it will be affected by the specification of the grinding wheel. Furthermore the experiment was fulfiled. The comparison between the experimental and the simulation results shows that the present model for hydrodynamic pressure and the simulation results are correct.

2013, 32(9): 1358-1362.
Abstract:
In this paper the mechanical properties of the cracked structures are investigated using the equivalent medium theory. Based on the definition of the surface damaged layer,the two-material composite beam is used to model the cracked beam. The differential equation of the deflection curve of the cracked beam is deduced. The effects of the damaged layer on the bending deformation are studied. The relation among the beam deflection,the thickness of the damaged layer and the equivalent elastic modulus of the damaged part is obtained. In addition,the influence of the damaged layer thickness modulus on the beam stiffness is also evaluated. The numerical results reveal that the deflection of the beam will increase and the stiffness of the beam will decrease as the thickness of the damaged layer increases or the elastic modulus of the damaged layer decreases. When the thickness of the damaged layer is larger than 3% of the thickness of the beam,the influence of the damaged layer on the deflection and stiffness of the beam are so obviously that will affect the accuracy during the manufacturing process significantly.
