Modal and Stress Analysis of Lower Wishbone Arm Along with Topology Optimization
Abstract: An independent suspension allows wheels to rise and fall on their own without affecting the opposite wheel. The aim of study is to complete FEM analysis of a suspension link for deformation and stresses in dynamic mode. For this a 3-D solid model of a suspension link is generated. Multi body system approach is used to determine the loads acting on the suspension component. Vonmises Stress analysis is to be …

Affect of Finite Element Modelling on Static Behavior of Underwater Shell
Abstract: The objective of the present study is to compare and contrast different numerical models based on their mesh quality and material properties in predicting the response of an underwater shell under an external pressure of 1 MPa. Two different mesh qualities with the same element size are developed for solid geometries without and with slicing the solids at geometric discontinuities to enhance the element quality. From the static response of …

Using CFD Tools Heat Exchanger Design: A Review
Abstract: AbstractIn present day, shell and tube heat exchanger is the most common type heat exchanger widely used in oil refinery and other large chemical process, because it suits high pressure application. The process in solving simulation consists of modeling and meshing the basic geometry of shell and tube heat exchanger using CFD (computational fluid dynamics) package.Keywords: CFD, heat exchanger, shell heat exchanger, tube heat exchangerCite this ArticleRaj Kumar Yadav.

Failure Analyses of 16 mm Thick SA 516 GR 70 Auto Clave
Abstract: With the acceleration of global industrialization, there is a demand for high-or low-pressure storage of liquids or gases. Because of the complicated operating conditions that will inevitably encounter a possible hazard, pressure vessel design is a critical responsibility. Previous failure studies have revealed that the presence of local loads and discontinuities increases pressure vessel fracture. As a result, a detailed examination of pressure vessel steel from the standpoint of fracture …

Thermo-Hydraulic Enhancement of Annular Finned Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers Using Epoxy-Based Polymer Composites: A Material–Geometry Coupled CFD Investigation
Abstract: Shell-and-tube heat exchangers remain a backbone of industrial thermal systems, yet their performance is often limited by relatively low shell-side heat transfer and the weight and cost associated with conventional metallic components. In this context, the integration of polymer composite materials offers a promising pathway toward lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and performance-tunable heat exchanger designs. The present study investigates the thermo-hydraulic performance of a straight-tube shell-and-tube heat exchanger equipped with annular fins, …

Structural Performance Evaluation of Circular Perforated Plates under Mechanical Loading
Abstract: Circular perforated plates are structurally critical components in aerospace, automotive, and marine sectors, where perforation-induced stress concentrations govern failure under mechanical loading. This study conducts a systematic finite element analysis of stress distribution, deformation, and interlaminar behavior in aluminum and glass-epoxy laminates ([−45/45/90/0]S and [−45/45/90/0]AS) under uniform transverse pressure with clamped-free boundary conditions. Four perforation configurations—no hole, central hole, single-series, and 25-hole grid—were evaluated using ANSYS Shell-181, verified against Kirchhoff–Love, …
