However, the complex structure of these containers and the frequent pressure changes pose challenges in designing their structural and fatigue strength. Three simulation design methods were compared and analyzed: the two-dimensional force method, the two-dimensional cooling method, and the three-dimensional force method. The results showed that all three methods met the stress analysis requirements. The three-dimensional surface mass force method was chosen as the preferred method for engineering applications, specifically for the process of steel wire-winding loaded with mass force. The combined load case method was used to examine the influence of steel wires on the stress of the thick-walled cylinder when wound layer-by-layer. The study also focused on the changes in stress relaxation within the steel wire layer. The results demonstrated that the residual stresses of the core cylinder and the winding layer exhibited quasi-linear superposition during the winding and preloading process. The preloading effect of the steel wire weakened with increasing friction coefficient. Simulation results showed larger errors with excessively large or small normal stiffness coefficients. Based on theoretical solutions and verification studies, the optimal friction and normal stiffness coefficients were determined to be 0.02 and 1, respectively. By achieving a reasonable distribution of residual stress in the thick-walled cylinder of the ultra-high-pressure vessel through fatigue analysis, the fatigue life of the cylinder was significantly improved.","PeriodicalId":502561,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Mechanical Engineering","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139304526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The validity of the stability condition and the steady-state deviation is demonstrated by numerical simulation.

When cracks occur and propagate in the weld zone, they are removed through gouging, and gas metal arc welding is performed for repair. After the first weld repair, the second weld repair process is performed if crack is visible in the same area. In this study, the effects of repetitive repair welding on the fatigue characteristics were investigated using materials applied in railway vehicle structures. Three types of specimens (weld specimen, first weld repairs specimen, and second weld repairs specimen) were prepared, and fatigue and residual stress tests were performed. The results indicated that the weld specimen had the longest fatigue life, and the first weld repairs specimen had the shortest fatigue life. The fatigue life of the second weld repairs specimen was longer than that of the first weld repairs specimen. Residual stress tests and finite-element analysis results indicated that the first weld repairs specimen had the shortest fatigue life among the specimens tested, because the highest residual stress was generated.","PeriodicalId":502561,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Mechanical Engineering","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139298242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In view of this, by establishing a friction model, this paper conducts an in-depth study on the flash temperature of the asperities contact between the of TC4 titanium alloy and Q235 steel at the friction conditions of low speed and low load. According to the Hertz contact theory, the contact process of a single pair of asperities and the calculation method of the maximum flash temperature are analyzed, and the maximum flash temperature value is calculated using two assumptions. Combined with regression analysis, the mathematical model of the flash temperature with load and relative velocity is obtained.

Then, using the cuckoo search algorithm, the transversely isotropic virtual material parameters are determined. Subsequently, as an application case, the flat and V-guide joints of the M7120D/H surface grinder are employed to validate the proposed modeling method. Finally, compared to the experimental modal test results, the error of natural frequencies is less than 1%, which achieves high accuracy.

Many species in the biological world have formed non-smooth forms of resistance reduction after thousands of years of survival and evolution. Many people have applied this non-smooth shape of drag reduction on organisms to the surface of friction pairs in construction machinery. Based on LX108 engine, the wear and erosion resistance of Scapharca subcrenata surface is applied to the piston skirt, which is the main friction pair in the engine. Nine test schemes were designed according to orthogonal test. This design selects three factors, namely, groove distribution type, groove depth and width, groove spacing, and each factor includes three levels. The macroscopic fluid lubrication state of the whole piston skirt with bionic shape is studied. Through the change of oil film thickness caused by thermal-mechanical coupling deformation of skirt, combined with the average Reynolds equation, the hydrodynamic pressure of lubricating oil, shear stress, and skirt friction force are obtained to verify the contribution of bionic shape to piston drag reduction, wear reduction, wetting increase, and friction power consumption. The simulation and test results show that the lubrication of all parts of the bionic groove piston skirt is better than that of the standard piston; When the depth and width of groove is 0.8 mm and the spacing is 10°, the thicker the oil film thickness of skirt is; The bionic piston whose oil film bearing area is 74%–87% of the standard piston has the smallest normal pressure and friction; When the upper end of the skirt is arranged with groove shape and the lower end is arranged with narrow groove shape between wide grooves, the lubrication effect is better.","PeriodicalId":502561,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Mechanical Engineering","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139305302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, 316L austenitic stainless steel was selected to investigate the effect of a variable-length restricted contact tool (VL-RCT), aiming at reducing the cutting temperature and increasing the tool life. A finite element simulation model of restricted contact cutting was established to investigate the machining parameters and restricted contact parameters on cutting performances and to clarify the mechanism of the VL-RCT in the cutting process. Additionally, cutting experiments were conducted to verify the cutting process mechanism. The results showed that the variable restricted contact structure efficiently reduced the cutting force and cutting temperature and improved the cutting performances of austenitic stainless steel. Both numerical simulation and cutting experiments reported that the trapezoidal restricted contact structure improved the cutting performance the best.
