Hi all,

The Peak acceleration of the linkage is 10^6 m/s(duration- 0.025s) and maximum displacement is 5 cm.Since Linkage has to carried by person,this much of acceleration is unaccepted.Could you suggest some ways/mechanism to reduce the acceleration (could be bared by Human).

Any help would be highly appreciated.

6th International Workshop on Design for Civil and Environmental Engineering

Submitted by Flavio Stochino on

Design means to analyze, compare, manage and connect a large amount of data in order to develop, expand and materialize the starting idea, which was born to solve the initial problem. In this process, the engineer is the bridge of connection between the creative moment and its real implementation.

MODELIZACIÓN AVANZADA DE PROCESOS DE FORJA DE SUPERALEACIONES BASE NIQUEL

La simulación numérica es una herramienta clave para la optimización de los procesos de forja y la correcta predicción de las propiedades finales de los componentes forjados. Tanto en el sector Aeronáutico como en el de la energía, entre otros, las aleaciones de base Niquel se utilizan en componentes críticos de alto valor añadido. Las altas prestaciones de estos componentes junto con el elevado coste de la materia prima conllevan a la necesidad de una correcta optimización de los procesos de conformado.

POST-DOC POSITION FOR NECKING AND DUCTILE FRACTURE CRITERION DEVELOPMENT

DESCRIPTION

Accurate modelling of sheet metal necking and ductile fracture is a key factor for the reliable numerical analysis of the stamping process feasibility of lightweight metals, such as ultra high strength steels and aluminium alloys.

What are Principal Stresses (explained without math equations) ?

Submitted by rajan_prithivi on

 

In the following video, I have tried to explain the concept of principal stress in a more physical way and without involving any mathematical equations, hope you can easily imbibe the concept.
