this paper develops an automatic parking algorithm based on a fuzzy logic controller with the vehicle pose for the input and the steering angle for the output. in this way some feasible reference trajectory path have been introduced according to geometric and kinematic constraints and nonholonomic constraints to simulate motion path of car. also a novel method is used for parking space detectio...

In this study, the phase field model of crack propagation is used to study the dynamic branching instability in the case of inplane loading in two dimensions. Simulation results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions and experimental findings. Namely, the critical speed at which the instability starts is about 0.48cs. They also show that a full 3D approach is needed to fully underst...

In order to solve the impact on accuracy of a life prediction model when initial crack angle curved surface is not 0°, traditional stress intensity factor revised by non-linear regression analysis method, and an optimized growth established. This paper takes bottle neck pressure vessel as research object, uses finite element method establish simulation with 0°. By analyzing factors different st...

In situ ultrasonic fatigue with a cyclic frequency of 20 kHz was employed in an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) to characterize fatigue crack formation and growth in the near alpha titanium alloy Ti–6242S. The role of environment on small fatigue crack initiation and growth was investigated in vacuum and in variable pressures of saturated water vapor, as well as in laboratory ...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate, by means of finite element analysis, the effect of a drill hole at the end of a horizontal osteotomy to reduce the risk of lateral cortex fracture while performing an opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO). The question was whether drilling a hole relieves stress and increases the maximum correction angle without fracture of the lateral cortex de...

Based on the analysis of the crack trapping effect of cleavage ridges and penetration of crack front segments in an iron–silicon alloy, the distance between break-through points along a high-angle grain boundary is investigated. If the break-through points are close to each other, the crack trapping effect is dominant; otherwise, the grain boundary separation in break-through windows governs th...

Crack initiation in Ti-6242 has been observed to occur in a grain with a hard orientation for basal slip neighbouring a grain with a soft orientation. Because there is significant variability in microstructural features and crack initiation life, it is useful to explore the effects of the variability of the microstructural components through a probabilistic sensitivity analysis. In this paper, ...

Abstract: This article aims to study the effects of shock-disturbed cracks on the cutting features of cone bits. By utilizing the Walsh’s model, a crack model was established for the damaged rock surrounding the induced hole, the intrusive coefficient of the cone bit was derived, and the drilling rate equation around the induced hole was formulated. The effects of crack density and disturbance ...

In this paper, the extended finite element method (X-FEM) is considered for the analysis of fretting fatigue problems. A two-dimensional implementation of the XFEM is carried out within the finite element software ABAQUS by means of user subroutines, and crack propagation in fretting fatigue problems is investigated. On utilizing the non-linear contact capabilities of this code, the numerical t...
