Simulation Analysis In Dynamic Performance Of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Under Starting Condition, Yan Xiao, Ying-Jie Chang, Wei Zhang, Qiu-Hong Jia

Journal of Electrochemistry

Based on the equivalent circuit model, by considering both the dynamic gas pressure model and the dynamic heat transfer model, a lumped parameter model is developed. The start process of the fuel cell is simulated by using SIMULINK software. The undershoot of the voltage is observed from the simulation results, and the response time of the voltage is basically the same as that of the fuel cell temperature, which indicates that the temperature has great influence on the dynamic performance of the fuel cell. From the perspective of the temperature, the dynamic responses of the thermodynamic potential, the activation overvoltage, …


Computational Dynamics And Virtual Dragline Simulation For Extended Rope Service Life, Muhammad Wardeh Jan 2018

Computational Dynamics And Virtual Dragline Simulation For Extended Rope Service Life, Muhammad Wardeh

Doctoral Dissertations

"The dragline machinery is one of the largest equipment for stripping overburden materials in surface mining operations. Its effectiveness requires rigorous kinematic and dynamic analyses. Current dragline research studies are limited in computational dynamic modeling because they eliminate important structural components from the front-end assembly. Thus, the derived kinematic, dynamic and stress intensity models fail to capture the true response of the dragline under full operating cycle conditions. This research study advances a new and robust computational dynamic model of the dragline front-end assembly using Kane's method. The model is a 3-DOF dynamic model that describes the spatial kinematics and …


Dynamic Finite Element Simulation Of Ultrasonic Consolidation, Daniel Mccullough Aug 2009

Dynamic Finite Element Simulation Of Ultrasonic Consolidation, Daniel Mccullough

All Theses

Ultrasonic Consolidation (UC) is a promising solid state rapid manufacturing process that provides the ability to create functional, multilayered, and often geometrically complex parts. This thesis seeks to address one of the primary obstacles faced when using the process, namely the apparent build height limit encountered when using UC to construct high aspect ratio specimens. A fully transient, three dimensional Finite Element model is created to study the dynamic behavior of an ultrasonically consolidated part during the UC process. The model is used to find the cause of bond failure at the build height limit and a potential way to …
