determination of the optimum loading path (internal pressure- axial feeding) to restrict the bursting, buckling and wrinkling through tube hydroforming process is necessary to produce an acceptable tube. in this paper, the wrinkling and fracture criteria are implemented to an finite element code devoted to the simulation of tube hydroforming processes. using the ansys parametric design language...

concrete deformation due to temperature and moisture condition will always develop simultaneously and interactively. the environmentally (hygral and thermally) induced stress and deformation are essential to concrete durability. to simulate the deformation of concrete caused by the coupling effect of temperature and moisture, a numerical simulation approach is proposed comprising analytical pro...

One of the main obstacles to including transient dynamic effects into the performance functions of a structural optimization is the high computational cost of each time-dependent simulation. The focus of this paper is on the application of model order reduction techniques to reduce the transient analysis time for the attainable optimization process. The software mor4ansys developed at IMTEK per...

A four-leaf steel spring used in the rear suspension system of light vehicles is analyzed using ANSYS V5.4 software. The finite element results showing stresses and deflections verified the existing analytical and experimental solutions. Using the results of the steel leaf spring, a composite one made from fiberglass with epoxy resin is designed and optimized using ANSYS. Main consideration is ...

This paper presents a novel way for a structural dynamic simulation analysis on a three-dimensional (3-D) finite element (FE) model of a 6-DOF Manipulator using ANSYS Workbench 13.0 that allows integrated optimization. The load between driving and driven gear is delivered by elastic frictional contact, which leads to some non-liner contact problems, and the contact problems are solved according...
