    Transient Wear Simulation in Sliding Contacts of Spur Gear Teeth

    Y.J. Chen1, N. Huber1,2
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.29, No.1, pp. 1-14, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2012.029.001
    Abstract Gear transmission is important in engineering due to its high efficiency in transferring both power and motion. As a surface phenomenon, wear may change the gear geometry, cause a non-uniform gear rate and increase dynamic effects, all of which can lead to reduced efficiency and even severe tooth failure. In numerical predictions of wear, the conventional method, where the contact pressure over the slip distance is integrated, will cause a computation bottle-neck. To obtain an accurate integration of the wear within the small, fast moving contact area, the finite element model needs to be meshed… More >

    Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Three-Dimensional Elasto-Plastic Solids by the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) Method

    A. Rezaei Mojdehi1,2, A. Darvizeh3, A. Basti2
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.29, No.1, pp. 15-40, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2012.029.015
    Abstract The meshless local Petrov-Galerkin approach is proposed for the nonlinear dynamic analysis of three-dimensional (3D) elasto-plastic problems. Galerkin weak-form formulation is applied to derive the discrete governing equations. A weak formulation for the set of governing equations is transformed into local integral equations on local sub-domains by using a unit test function and local weak-form formulation in three dimensional continua for the general dynamic problems is derived. Three dimensional Moving Least-Square (MLS) approximation is considered as shape function to approximate the field variable of scattered nodes in the problem domain. Normality hypothesis of plasticity is More >

    Local Buckling Delamination of a Rectangular Sandwich Plate Containing Interface Embedded Rectangular Cracks and Made From Elastic and Viscoelastic Materials

    S.D. Akbarov1,2, N. Yahnioglu1, A. Tekin1
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.29, No.1, pp. 41-74, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2012.029.041
    Abstract A three-dimensional buckling delamination problem for a rectangular sandwich plate made from elastic and viscoelastic materials is studied. It is supposed that the plate contains interface embedded rectangular cracks and that the edge-surfaces of these cracks have initial infinitesimal imperfections. The evolution of these initial imperfections with an external bi-axial compressed force (for the case where the materials of the layers of the plate are elastic) or with duration of time (for the case where the materials of the layers of the plate are viscoelastic) is investigated. The corresponding boundary value problem is formulated within… More >

    MLPG Analysis of Layered Composites with Piezoelectric and Piezomagnetic Phases

    J. Sladek1, V. Sladek1, S. Krahulec1, M. Wünsche2, Ch. Zhang2
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.29, No.1, pp. 75-102, 2012, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2012.029.075
    Abstract A meshless method based on the local Petrov-Galerkin approach is proposed, to solve static and dynamic problems of two-layered magnetoelectroelastic composites with specific properties. One layer has pure piezoelectric properties and the second one is a pure piezomagnetic material. It is shown that the electric potential in the piezoelectric layer is induced by the magnetic potential in the piezomagnetic layer. The magnetoelectric effect is dependent on the ratio of the layer thicknesses. Functionally graded material properties of the piezoelectric layer and homogeneous properties of the piezomagnetic layer are considered too. The magnetoelectric composites are analyzed More >
