This paper introduces a new model for forecasting groundwater level on the basis of analysing defect of finite element method. The new model is built with fuzzy sets and neural networks. It is convenient for use. We computed the groundwater level of one city in P. R. China with it and got a very satisfactory result. It can be popularized to corecast groundwater level of mine.

In this study, the progressive failure behavior of the composite fan blade dovetail element under tensile loading is numerically investigated through finite element(FE) simulation. The accuracy of prediction by FE simulation is verified through tensile testing. The dovetail element is one of the joints for coupling the fan blade with the disk in a turbofan engine. The dovetail element is usually made of a metal material such as titanium, but the application of composite material is being studied for weight reduction reasons. However, manufacturing defects such as drop-off ply and resin pocket inevitably occur in realizing complex shapes of the fan blade made by composite materials. To investigate the effect of these manufacturing defects on the composite fan blade dovetail element, we performed numerical simulation with FE model to compare the prediction of the FE model and the tensile test results. At this time, the cohesive zone model is used to simulate the delamination behavior. Finally, we found that FE simulation results agree with test results when considering thermal residual stress and through-thickness compression enhancement effect.

Pipelines have the highest capacity and are the safest and the least environmentally disruptive means for transmitting gas or oil. Recently, failures due to corrosion defects have become a major concern in maintaining pipeline integrity. A number of solutions have been developed for the assessment of remaining strength of corroded pipelines. In this paper, a Fitness-For-Purpose(FFP) type limit load solution for corroded city gas pipelines is proposed. For this purpose, a series of burst tests with various types of machined defects were performed. Finite element simulations were carried out to derive an appropriate failure criterion. Based on such solution along with existing solutions, an integrity evaluation program for corroded city gas pipeline, COPAP-CITY, has been developed.

The tension levelling Process is Performed to elongate the strip plastically In combination of tensile and bending strain so that all longitudinal fibers In the strip have an approximately equal amount ofn length and undesirable strip shapes are corrected to the flat shape. Thus paper is concerned with a simulation of the tension levelling process based on the analysis of tile unit model for the tension leveller. Analysis technique such as the sequential analysis of the unit model is suggested and verified with the assembly analysis of the unit model for the effective arts economic analysis of the full set of the tension leveller. Analysis of the full tension levelling Process using sequential unit models Is carried out for steel strips with the shape defect and provides the effect of the intermesh and optimum amount of the intermesh in tension levelling process.

Preform design is an effective means of achieving the homogeneous deformation of workpiece materials and decreased load in metal forming. However, this approach has not been applied to equal channel angula. pressing (ECAP). In this paper, plastic deformation behavior of workpieces having four different preform shapes during ECAP was investigated using finite element analyses. The results indicated that a preform design of the workpiece head has a beneficial effect on homogeneous deformation, reducing the maximum pressing load at the initial stage and eliminating folding defects at strain concentration points.

Despite the increasing need of nanometer-scale accuracy in abrasive machining using ultrasmall particles such as abrasive jet and chemical mechanical polishing(CMP), the process mechanism is still unknown. Based on the background, research on the effects of various process parameters on the machined surface at abrasive machining was motivated and performed by using finite element analysis where the effect of slurry fluid flow involved. The effect of particle shape on the machined surface during particle-surface collision was discussed in this paper. The results from FEA simulation revealed that any damage or defect generation on machined surface by the impact may occur only if the particle has enough impact energy. Therefore, it could be concluded that generation of the defects and damage on the wafer surface after CMP process was mainly due to direct contact of the 3 bodies, i.e., pad-particle-wafer.

Vibration monitoring of rolling element bearings is probably the most established diagnostic technique for rotating machinery. Acoustic Emission (AE) Analysis is an extremely powerful technology that can be used within a wide range of applications of non destructive testing. Therefor, this paper investigates the detection methods using AE for rolling element bearings about low-speed. Two transducers, the accelerometer and acoustic emission sensor, are used to acquire data and the results are compared for the capacity of early fault detection.

In this study, the finite element method was used to analyze the distribution of the adhesive shear stresses in the single-lap bonded joint of two plates 2024-T3 aluminum with and without defects. The effects of the adhesive properties (shear modulus, the thickness and the length of the adhesive were highlighted. The results prove that the shear stresses are located on the free edges of the adhesively bonding region, and reach maximum values near the defect, because the concentration of high stress occurs near this area.

Finite element analysis and verification experiments were performed in order to find cause of defects such as folding and improper radius around the root area of the thread rolled stud bolts. Thread rolling experiments under several conditions were also carried out to understand the effect of process parameters, such as the rotation speed of the dies and the hardness of the work pieces, on the product quality. Folding defects at the top of thread are attributed to the higher hardness of the work piece and higher rotation speed of the rolling die. It was also found that the radius of screw mainly determined by the radius of the die.

A porous medium is composed of solids, fluids, and gas which have different physical and chemical properties. In addition, these constituents have a relative velocity between each other. So far, in order to analyze porous media using finite element method, Lagrangian or Eulerian method has been used. However, the numerical analyses for porous media have a defect that the methods do not describe the movements of constituents. In this paper, numerical analysis for unsaturated porous media was performed in frame of ALE method which has advantages of Lagrangian and Eulerian. Namely, the Lagrangian description was used in solid phase, and the Eulerian description was used in fluid or gas phase in a porous medium Then the relationship between each other was controlled by the convective term in ALE method. Finally, the numerical results of ALE were compared with tile results of Lagrangian analysis.
