Xie Su-chao, Tian Hong-qi, Yao Song

Abstract: In order to design the crashworthy car-body of one train and to realize its passive safety, an impacting experiment fo trolley was carried out to study the energy-absorbing property of energy-absorbing component for the car-body. During the impacting experiment process of trolley, the plastic deformation of the component is steady and ordered beginning with the anticipative part, and the absorbed energy is proportional to the maximum deformation, so the component has good energy-absorbing property. Based on experiment result, a finite element impacting model was set up by using explicit dynamic finite element theory, and numerical simulation was carried out. Relativity analysis result shows that simulation result accords well with experiment result, the curves of impacting forces are consistent well, and the maximum peak values of impacting forces are 2486.3 and 2423.1 kN respectively, the differences of the maximum deformations and the first peak values of impacting forces are less than 3%, and the difference of rebound velocities is less than 4%. So the validity and reliability of numerical simulation are verified by impacting experiment, and it is feasible to design and optimize the energy-absorbing components through numerical calculation.More>

Rong Xiang, Zuo Hong-fu, Zhang Hai-jun

Abstract: In order to apply condition based maintenance (CBM) to control civil aeroengine time on wing (TOW), the features of aeroengine CBM and TOW were discussed, and the proportional intensity model was established to describe the relation among TOW, condition monitoring variables and failure intensity. TOW control limit due to performance deterioration and optimal preventive maintenance (PM) interval under minimizing expected total maintenance cost per unit time were implemented. The operation data of a CF6-80C2A5 engine were studied. It is pointed that the less failure intensity is, the lower TOW control limit is; moreover, the cost rate between PM and corrective maintenance can affect optimal PM interval; sufficient engine operation data are the keys of accurate TOW control, such as engine removal and on wing history records, maintenance cost, requirements of airworthiness and manufacturer, and time limits of life limited parts etc.More>
