Abstract The present study reports the linear elastic analysis of variable thickness functionally graded rotating disks. Disk material is graded radially by varying the volume fraction ratios of the constituent components. Three types of distribution laws, namely power law, exponential law and Mori–Tanaka scheme are considered on a concave thickness profile rotating disk, and the resulting deformation and stresses are evaluated for clamped-free boundary condition. The investigation is carried out using element based grading of material properties on the discretized elements. The effect of grading on deformation and stresses is investigated for each type of material distribution law. Further, a comparison is made between different types of distributions. The results obtained show that in a rotating disk, the deformation and stress fields can be controlled by the distribution law and grading parameter n of the volume fraction ratio.

Abstract This article deals with finite element method for the analysis of antisymmetric angle-ply laminated composite hypar shells (hyperbolic paraboloid bounded by straight edges) that applies an eight-noded isoparametric shell element and a three-noded beam element to study the mode-frequency analysis of stiffened shell with cutout. Two-, 4-, and 10-layered antisymmetric angle-ply laminations with different lamination angles are considered. Among these, 10-layer antisymmetric angle-ply shells are considered for elaborate study. The shells have different boundary conditions along its four edges. The formulation is based on the first-order shear deformation theory. The reduced method of eigen value solution is chosen for the undamped free vibration analysis. The first five modes of natural frequency are presented. The numerical studies are conducted to determine the effects of width-to-thickness ratio (b/h), degree of orthotropy (E11/E22), and fiber orientation angle (θ) on the nondimensional natural frequency. The results reveal that free vibration behavior mainly depends on the number of boundary constraints rather than other parametric variations such as change in fiber orientation angle and increase in degree of orthotropy and width-to-thickness ratio.

Abstract The article presents the movement kinematics of the modular bar element of a dynamically active polymer sieve of a vibrating screen. On the basis of analytical methods, the mathematical model was obtained, which makes it possible to determine the law and trajectory of the modular bar element movement depending on its geometric characteristics, physico-mechanical properties of the polymer material, the regime and technological parameters of the vibrating screen. The results of this research show that in the working frequency range of the vibrating screen grate, modular bar element of the dynamically active sieve moves along the trajectories, the envelope of which is represented by Cassini’s ovals, which along with the generation of the amplitude component in the horizontal and vertical directions allows one to obtain the selfcleaning effect of the sowing surface.

Abstract Today’s automotive designers and material specialists regard lighter vehicles for less fuel consumption (economy and ecology) and higher safety to passengers. Metal matrix composites have been a large area of interest. Aluminium composite is potentially applied in automotive and aerospace industries, because it has a superior strength to weight ratio and is a light weight metal with high temperature resistance. Composites containing hard oxides and ceramics (such as alumina) are preferred for high wear resistance along with increased hardness. In this work, alumina and zinc are reinforced in Al-LM25 alloy through stir casting process, where alumina is varied 6% and 12% in Al-5%Zn. Various mechanical analyses were conducted and the effect of wear with different percentage of alumina reinforcement was studied. The resulting properties are imported in a piston, modelled using solid works, and analysed in ANSYS work bench. Imparting this new material for pistons could introduce deep design and improvements in engine operation of a vehicle.

Abstract This paper is concerned with the study of propagation of Rayleigh waves in a homogeneous isotropic piezo-electric microstretch-thermoelastic solid half-space. The medium is subjected to stress-free, isothermal boundary. After developing a mathematical model, the dispersion curve in the form of polynomial equation is obtained. Phase velocity and attenuation coefficient of the Rayleigh wave are computed numerically. The numerically simulated results are depicted graphically. Some special cases have also been derived from the present investigation.

Abstract This investigation deals with the vibration analysis of a rotating tapered shaft in Functionally Graded Material (FGM). The dynamic system is modeled using the Timoshenko beam theory (FSDBT) with consideration of gyroscopic effect and rotary inertia. The equations of motion are expressed by the hierarchical finite element method based on bi-articulated boundary conditions. The material properties are continuously varied in the thickness direction of a hollow shaft according to the exponential law function (E-FGM). The presented model is validated by comparing the numerical results found with the available literature. Various analyses are carried out to determine the influence of taper angle and material distribution of the two extreme materials on the dynamic behavior of FGM conical rotors system.

Abstract Chatter is a self-excited vibration that depends on several parameters such as the dynamic characteristics of a machine tool structure, the material of work piece, the material removal rate, and the geometry of tools. Chatter has an undesirable effect on dimensional accuracy, smoothness of work piece surface, lifetime of tools and machine tools. Thus, it is useful to understand this phenomenon in order to improve the economic aspect of machining. In the present article, firstly, the theoretical study and mathematical modeling of chatter in the cutting process were carried out. Then, by performing modal testing on a milling machine and drawing chatter stability diagrams, we determined the stability regions of the machine tool operation and recognized the parameter that had the most important effect on chatter.

Abstract Resistance spot welding (RSW) is a fabrication process that is being used in the automobile and aerospace industry since many years for joining low carbon or “mild” steel. Quality and strength of the welds depend upon the process parameters of RSW. The most effective parameters in this process are: current intensity, welding time, sheet thickness and material, geometry of electrodes, electrode force, and current shunting. This paper presents the experimental investigations for the optimization of tensile shear stress of RSW for stainless steel grade 316L sheets by using Taguchi method. The experiments were conducted using Taguchi’s L27 orthogonal array under varying process parameters, namely electrode diameter, welding current, and heating time. The experimental data were analyzed using signal-to-noise ratio (S/N ratio) to find the optimal process parameters. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and F test were used to find the most significant parameters affecting the spot weld quality characteristics. Confirmation tests with optimal process parameters were conducted to validate the test results. From the results, it was found that it is possible to increase tensile shear stress significantly.
