Friction-induced vibration of an elastic disc and a moving slider with separation and reattachment
Nonlinear Friction-Induced Vibration of a Slider-Belt System
A mass–spring–damper slider excited into vibration in a plane by a moving rigid belt through friction is a major paradigm of friction-induced vibration. This paradigm has two aspects that can be improved: (1) the contact stiffness at the slider–belt interface is often assumed to be linear and (2) this contact is usually assumed to be maintained during vibration (even when the vibration becomes unbounded at certain conditions). In this paper, a cubic contact spring is included; loss of contact (separation) at the slider–belt interface is allowed and importantly reattachment of the slider to the belt after separation is also considered. These two features make a more realistic model of friction-induced vibration and are shown to lead to very rich dynamic behavior even though a simple Coulomb friction law is used. Both complex eigenvalue analyses of the linearized system and transient analysis of the full nonlinear system are conducted. Eigenvalue analysis indicates that the nonlinear system can become unstable at increasing levels of the preload and the nonlinear stiffness, even if the corresponding linear part of the system is stable. However, they at a high enough level become stabilizing factors. Transient analysis shows that separation and reattachment could happen. Vibration can grow with the preload and vertical nonlinear stiffness when separation is considered, while this trend is different when separation is ignored. Finally, it is found that the vibration magnitudes of the model with separation are greater than the corresponding model without considering separation in certain conditions. Thus, ignoring the separation is unsafe.</jats:p
Self-Loosening Failure Analysis of Bolt Joints under Vibration considering the Tightening Process
By considering the tightening process, a three-dimensional elastic finite element analysis is conducted to explore the mechanism of bolt self-loosening under transverse cyclic loading. According to the geometrical features of the thread, a hexahedral meshing is implemented by modifying the node coordinates based on cylinder meshes and an ABAQUS plug-in is made for parametric modeling. The accuracy of the finite element model is verified and validated by comparison with the analytical and experimental results on torque-tension relationship. And, then, the fastening states acquired by different means are compared. The results show that the tightening process cannot be replaced by a simplified method because its fastening state is different from the real process. With combining the tightening and self-loosening processes, this paper utilizes the relative rotation angles and velocities to investigate the slip states on contact surfaces instead of the Coulomb friction coefficient method, which is used in most previous researches. By contrast, this method can describe the slip states in greater detail. In addition, the simulation result reveals that there exists a creep slip phenomenon at contact surface, which causes the bolt self-loosening to occur even when some contact facets are stuck

INFLUENCE OF OVER-SPEED PRELOADING ON THE FATIGUE PERFORMANCE OF IMPELLER
Over-speed preloading is one of the important parts in the process of impeller manufacturing,it is a method of checking the impeller’s quality and a subtle strengthen treatment. To explain the mechanics principle of over-speed preloading,finite element models of the impeller are established and then we simulate the process of the over-speed preloading. Firstly,an elastic-plastic analysis is carried out on the semi-open impeller,and the results show that there will be residual stress generated in the high stress regions after preloading,which can reduce the maximal stress produced in the later normal loading. Secondly,analysis of the fatigue life of the semi-open impeller at two different conditions of the starting and stopping and the speed rotating is accomplished through FE-SAFE. By contrast with the results of processing with and without over-speed preloading,we can see that the treatment of over-speed preloading can improve the fatigue life of impeller in a great extent. Moreover,over-speed preloading can also avoid the occurrence of fatigue damage in some conditions of impeller’s speed rotating. Finally,fatigue analysis has been done for closed impeller in a variety of different loading conditions. The results show that the impeller treated with over-speed preloading can resist larger aerodynamic load and avoid fatigue damage
Bolt Loosening Detection of Rocket Connection Structure Based on Variational Modal Decomposition and Support Vector Machines
This paper designed a bolt-loosening Support Vector Machines’ conduct detection method with feature vectors comprising eigenvalue decomposition based on Variational Modal Decomposition (VMD) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), combined with permutation entropy. Particle Swarm Optimization-Support Vector Machines (PSO-SVMs) are used for small-sample machine learning and can effectively identify and judge the state of bolt preload. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified in a typical example of a connection structure under random-amplitude impulse loads and Gaussian white noise with different signal-to-noise ratios. The effect of other bolt numbers being arranged is also discussed in the results. This method’s bolt-loosening identification rate is close to 90% under both equal-amplitude and variable-amplitude loads. Following the interference, with a signal-to-noise ratio of 20 dB, the method also has a recognition rate higher than 70% under various working conditions and bolt equipment schemes. The effectiveness of the method was verified by experiments

A finite element finite-strain formulation for modeling colliding blocks of Gent materials
International audienceThe present paper is devoted to the analysis of the contact/impact problems with Coulomb friction and large deformation between two hyperelastic bodies of Gent model. The total Lagrangian formulation is adopted to describe the geometrically non-linear behavior. For the finite element implementation, the explicit expression of the incremental law of Gent model is derived. A first order algorithm is applied for the numerical integration of the time-discretized equation of motion. Efficiency and accuracy of the resulting method is illustrated on a two-dimensional static contact problem and a three-dimensional dynamic contact problem as compared with ANSYS simulations
