An expert drawbead model is developed for the finite element analysis of stamping processes. The expert model calculates drawbead restraining forces and bead-exit thinnings with the forming condi-tions and drawbead size. The drawbead restraining forces and bead-exit thinnings of a circular draw-bead and stepped drawbead are computed by mathematical models and corrected by the multiple lin-ear regression method based on experimental measurements. The squared drawbead preventing the sheet from drawing-in inside die cavity is assumed to have a very huge drawbead restraining force and no pre-strain just after drawbead. The combined beads are considered as a combination of basic draw-beads such as circular a drawbead stepped drawbead and squared drawbead so that the drawbead restraining forces and bead-exit thinnigs are basically sum of those of basic drawbeads.

Finite element analysis model is suggested for analysis of milli-forming process, which forms milli-size products. Since the size of workpiece in a milli-forming process ranges from a few hundred micrometers to a few millimeters, microstructural changes such as the growth of micro-voids and the development of preferred orientation in a grain become crucial factors for the success of milli-forming. This analysis model incorporates anisotropy from deformation torture and deterioration of mechanical properties due to the growth of micro-voids. Applications of the proposed modeling to milli-forming are given and the results are carefully examined to understand the deformation characteristics such as texture development and damage evolution during extrusion/drawing of a milli-bar.

In this study, using the numerical model, the flow motion around skewed abutment is investigated to evaluate the skewness effect on the flow distribution. The skewness angle of the abutment which make with main flow direction is changed from $30\circ$ to $150\circ$ with increments of $10\circ$ while the contraction ratios due to the abutment are kept constant. For the investigation of the combined effects on the relationship between the skewness angle and flow intensities, this process will be .repeated fer different types of abutment (single and double) with different flow intensities. The maximum velocities and the velocity distributions, which can be obtained from each angle, are examined and analyzed corresponding to different angles of inclination. Based on successive model applications, an empirical expression, given in a function of contracted ratio and skewness angle, is derived for relating velocity amplifications according to the angle variations.

In this study, we analyze electric field properties in the GEM by using a finite element method. Compared with 3D simulation, modeling of the GEM in 2D rz coordinates is very efficient because of exact simulation results and much saved computational time. The ECE, which is an important measure designating the GEM performance, is estimated by calculating the fractional field-line transparencies. The ECE for various GEM structures and operational parameters are investigated and the results will be presented. This simulation work is very useful for the better design of the GEM.

This paper deals with characteristic analysis method using d-q axis equivalent circuit considering iron loss in a single-phase line-start permanent magnet synchronous motor. The iron loss resistance to account for the iron loss is included in the equivalent circuit to improve the modeling accuracy. Furthermore, for the improved calculation of the iron loss, the iron loss is calculated from the magnetic flux density by 2-dimensional finite element method. The result is represented as the iron loss resistance and connected in parallel with the total induced voltage. Therefore, the currents can be expressed as the summation the output current with the current corresponding to the iron loss. Finally, the steady state characteristic analysis results are compared with the experimental results to verify this approach.

Weatherstrip seals protect passengers form noise, dust, rain and wind out of the vehicle. The more contact area between a body frame and a weatherstrip, the higher efficiency of sealing. A weatherstrip is a sort of an elastomer. Mechanical properties of the weatherstrip is obtained by uniaxial tension test. In this study, nonlinear finite element(FE) analysis is performed to obtain displacements and contact shapes of the weatherstrip. The FE model is developed by using Ogden-foam formulation. In the results of nonlinear FE analysis, the most valuable deformation of the weatherstrip occurred when displacement control value reaches 7.2mm. Severe deformation is observed as the displacement control value become more increased.

This paper deals with the analysis of composite sabot of APFSDS projectile. Unlike conventional composite parts, the sabot is composed of thick-sectioned lamination, and thus requires 3-dimensional properties in the analysis. In this study, a model was formulated to calculate the equivalent composites properties. The equivalent properties were then used in the finite element analysis and the results were compared with those by the full 3-dimensional analysis with ply-by-ply modeling. The results generally agreed with each other in the bound of 20% error, indicating that the formulated model produced the equivalent properties with reasonable accuracy. It was thought to be an efficient approach to use the model in global analysis and then perform the full 3-dimensional analysis in regions of interest for detailed evaluation in designing the composite sabot structure.

This paper presents the position tracking control of a laser scanning mirror system in which piezoelectic actuator is incorporated. Using the shear mode of the piezoelectric actuator,angular oscillation of a laser scanning mirror is derived. Torsion bar is rhen designed and attached to the piezoelctric actuator in order to magnify the amplitude generated by the actuator. Finite element modeling and analysis are essntial for designing the piezoelectic actuator. The torsional resonance mode of the piezoelectric actuator is found from the model analysis of the actuator and the mechanical shear is matched with the driving frequency. Transfer function between the electrical excitation and the mechanical shear deformation at resonance frequency is found form the response of the actuator calculated by the finite element analysis and the governing equation of the system is derived from d'Alembert's principle. Tracking control performance for desired trajectory which is, in fact, sinusoidal curve is presented in order to demonstrate the validity of the proposed system.

Non-contact underwater explosions against surface ships could cause extensive equipment damage and render the ship inoperative. As an analytical method, DDAM(dynamic design and analysis method) is used for ship shock design. In this paper, in order to verify the finite element model of large shipboard equipment, modal test of equipment was performed. Major objective of this paper is to describe shock analysis methodology for large shipboard equipment attacked to the top and bottom foundations.

Standard finite element wave propagation codes are useful for determining stresses caused by the impact of one body with another; however, their applicability to a laminated system such as architectural laminated glass is limited because the important interlayer delamination process caused by impact loading is difficult to model. This paper presents a method that allows traditional wave propagation codes to model the interlayer debonding of laminated architectural glass subject to low velocity, small missile impact such as that which occurs in severe windstorms. The method can be extended to any multilayered medium with adhesive bonding between the layers. Computational results of concern to architectural glazing designers are presented.
