Finite Element Analysis Towards the Chassis of a Truck, Chicago, US January 2016

The CAD model was built using Inventor, and the materials for the chassis are A588 and 7000 series Aluminum.

HyperMesh was used to build mesh model. For the static analysis, the chassis was modeled by shell elements with a size of 25mm; for dynamic analysis, the chassis was modeled by membrane and solid elements with the size of 35mm. The analysis was achieved using Abaqus.

Based on the load distribution of a real pick-up truck, same loading conditions for both dynamic and static analysis were used. The dynamic load factor was set to be 1.5 in this project.

In the static part, four cases were analyzed including: driving forward, braking, making turn and driving on a rough road. The impact of deceleration during truck braking and turning was also addressed.

In the dynamic part, two cases were considered: front crash and side crash.

Based on stress contour results, the weakest part of the chassis was found and the material density was optimized using topology optimization method.

Abaqus and HyperMesh was used to finish this project. Through the project, we testified that the material used on the market is feasible for the pickup truck, however, there do exist some structures need to be reinforced. Heat Transfer Analysis, Chicago, US January 2016

Set up a simple bar model in HyperMesh, with a length to be 100mm and a cross section of 10mmX10mm. Meshed it with solid and membrane elements, the element size was 5mm. Assign the material to be steel. Export the input file.

Modify the input file. Change all the C3D3/C3D4 to C3D3T/C3D4T, since the heat transfer and the stress are being analyzed in the simulation; Apply temperature using ‘*coupled temperature’ and the ‘*Amplitude’ function.

Run the simulation in Abaqus Command. Type in ‘abaqus job interactive’.

See the result by looking the stress and temperature contour. Optimal Design on Evaporative Cooling Pad, Chicago, US June 2016 till now

The goal of the research is to come up with a new cooler pad with new structure that can has a better cooling efficiency through Ansys simulation

Have done the research on the background of the technology.

Going to conduct a test on a real unit and observe how the pad works and what makes them differ from one another.

So far I have learned the basic of the technology, learned the related knowledge on fluid science and thermodynamic. SKILLS AND PERSONAL INFO
