Magnetic force distribution and deformation law of sheet using uniform pressure electromagnetic actuator

The distribution of magnetic forces and current on sheet and coil was analyzed in detail according to the structural parameter of the coil which was invalid.The result shows that the current direction based on simulation result agrees with the principles of uniform pressure electromagnetic actuator.The reason for coil failure was proposed.Then the magnetic forces on the sheet were input into an explicit finite element software ANSYS/LS-DYNA to analyze the deformation law of the sheet.

Stability characteristics of ring-stiffened cylindrical shells under different longitudinal and transverse external pressures

Because ring-stiffened cylindrical shell structures have many merits, they are widely used in many areas. However, as the strength of steel increase continuously, ensuring of the structure stability is becoming more and more important. Therefore, it is necessary to carry on a more particular analysis. Based on the understanding and analysis of the characteristics of stability for a ring-stiffened cylindrical shell under uniform external pressure and under external single pressure, the characteristics under different cross uniform external pressures are analyzed, and the regularity of it is also gotten. The curve of stability given various geometrical parameters under different cross uniform external pressures is protracted by the analysis of the theory. The conclusion not only improves the theory structural mechanics, it also was important effects on engineering calculation and design.

Thermal instability and dynamic response analysis of a tensioned carbon nanotube under moving uniformly distributed external pressure

Single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs)are receiving immense research attention due to their tremendous thermal,electrical,structural and mechanical properties.In this paper,an exact solution of the dynamic response of SWCNT with a moving uniformly distributed load is presented.The SWCNT is modelled via the theories of Bernoulli-Euler-thermal elasticity mechanics and solved using Integral transforms.The developed closed-form solution in the present work is compared with existing results and excellent agreements are established.The parametric studies show that as the magnitude of the pressure distribution at the surface increases,the deflection associated with the single walled nanotube increases at any mode whilst a corresponding increase in temperature and foundation parameter have an attenuating effect on deflection.Moreover,an increase in the Winkler parameter,as well as a decrease in the SWCNT mass increases its frequency of vibration.Furthermore,an increase in the speed of the external agent decreases the total external pressure as a result of the removal of dead loads.The present work is envisaged to improve the application of SWCNT as nanodevices for structural,electrical and mechanical systems.

Nonlinear Out-of-Plane Mechanical Behaviours of Rectangular Woven Composite Flexible Skin Under Uniform Normal Pressure

This paper seeks to investigate nonlinear out-of-plane mechanical behaviours of woven composite flexible skin(WCFS)through experimental and theoretical methods.Firstly,quasi-static experiments are carried out on rectangular WCFSs with different aspect ratios under uniform normal pressure to measure out-of-plane deformation and failure loads.Afterwards,a new three-parameter geometric model is presented to describe 3D geometry of pressurized WCFS,and thus,a nonlinear mechanical model is deduced for depicting the relationship between pressure and out-of-plane displacement.The application of the aforementioned models for experimental results shows that the new models have adequately and logically depicted deformation geometry and nonlinear mechanical characteristics.
