Estudios de confort de vehículos ferroviarios mediante técnicas combinadas de simulación FEM y MBS

La elasticidad de la caja de viajeros de los vehículos ferroviarios tiene una gran influencia sobre el confort. Por esta razón, cuando se desea simular el comportamiento dinámico del vehículo para estudios de confort, resulta conveniente construir un modelo elástico de caja, a fin de obtener resultados más precisos. La construcción de este tipo de modelos pasa por el desarrollo de dos etapas fundamentales, que comprenden la generación de un modelo de caja mediante la técnica de los elementos finitos (FEM) para su caracterización dinámica como cuerpo elástico y la definición de un modelo de sistema multicuerpo (MBS) que englobe los restantes componentes del vehículo. En este artículo se presentan los resultados obtenidos en un estudio comparativo llevado a cabo con modelos de caja rígida y elástica, en los que se ha valorado el nivel de confort obtenido con ambas configuraciones. Para ello, se ha simulado el comportamiento del vehículo a dos velocidades distintas, de 70 y 110km/h, y con dos niveles de irregularidades. Se han analizado las aceleraciones de la caja, que se han procesado de acuerdo a las especificaciones de la norma EN12299, a fin de obtener el índice de comodidad. Este parámetro se ha utilizado para comparar el nivel de confort obtenido con ambos modelos, habiéndose encontrado una gran diferencia en los índices calculados con caja rígida y con caja elástica, lo que confirma la gran influencia de la elasticidad de la caja en los estudios de confort llevados a cabo mediante técnicas de simulación dinámica.

Development of FEM/BEM and SEA models from experimental results for structural elements with attached equipment

This work focuses on the analysis of a structural element of MetOP-A satellite. Given the special interest in the influence of equipment installed on structural elements, the paper studies one of the lateral faces on which the Advanced SCATterometer (ASCAT) is installed. The work is oriented towards the modal characterization of the specimen, describing the experimental set-up and the application of results to the development of a Finite Element Method (FEM) model to study the vibro-acoustic response. For the high frequency range, characterized by a high modal density, a Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) model is considered, and the FEM model is used when modal density is low. The methodology for developing the SEA model and a compound FEM and Boundary Element Method (BEM) model to provide continuity in the medium frequency range is presented, as well as the necessary updating, characterization and coupling between models required to achieve numerical models that match experimental results.

A FEM-BEM coupling procedure through the Steklov-Poincarè operator

Many advantages can be got in combining finite and boundary elements.It is the case, for example, of unbounded field problems where boundary elements can provide the appropriate conditions to represent the infinite domain while finite elements are suitable for more complex properties in the near domain. However, in spite of it, other disadvantages can appear. It would be, for instance, the loss of symmetry in the finite elements stiffness matrix, when the combination is made. On the other hand, in our days, with the strong irruption of the parallel proccessing the techniques of decomposition of domains are getting the interest of numerous scientists. With their application it is possible to separate the resolution of a problem into several subproblems. That would be beneficial in the combinations BEM-FEM as the loss of symmetry would be avoided and every technique would be applicated separately. Evidently for the correct application of these techniques it is necessary to establish the suitable transmission conditions in the interface between BEM domain and FEM domain. In this paper, one parallel method is presented which is based in the interface operator of Steklov Poincarè.

A comparative analysis between FEM and Boundary Methods in bending of Plates

Two different methods of analysis of plate bending, FEM and BM are discussed in this paper. The plate behaviour is assumed to be represented by using the linear thin plate theory where the Poisson-Kirchoff assumption holds. The BM based in a weighted mean square error technique produced good results for the problem of plate bending. The computational effort demanded in the BM is smaller than the one needed in a FEM analysis for the same level of accuracy. The general application of the FEM cannot be matched by the BM. Particularly, different types of geometry (plates of arbitrary geometry) need a similar but not identical treatment in the BM. However, this loss of generality is counterbalanced by the computational efficiency gained in the BM in the solution achievement

Analisi tramite simulazione fem del processo di stampaggio ad iniezione di un componente automotive in polimero termoplastico

Nel presente elaborato vengono esposti in maniera esaustiva il processo di stampaggio ad iniezione dei polimeri termoplastici, la simulazione del processo mediante il codice fem fino ad arrivare alla simulazione con il software Autodesk® Simulation Moldflow® di un componente automotive. In particolare viene analizzato tramite simulazione fem il processo di stampaggio ad iniezione dell’asta di spinta del comando frizione in PA66 GF50 evidenziando la previsione dell’orientazione delle fibre di rinforzo.
