The Optimal CAD Design of a 3D Hexagonal Toroid with Regular Hexagonal Cross-Section Used in Manufacturing of LPG Storage Tanks
Journal Title: HIDRAULICA - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The objective in this paper is to optimal CAD design of a 3D hexagonal toroid with regular hexagonal cross-section used in manufacturing of LPG storage tanks used in automotive industry based on the finite element analysis (FEA) approaches. A design strategy to define specific key performance indicators according to manufacturing objectives was developed to determine the optimal form of the 3D hexagonal toroidal LPG fuel tank with lower values of the stress state and linear deformation. Numerical simulations are carried out using a 3D model done in the AutoCAD Autodesk 2017 software, which was imported for analysis to SolidWorks 2017 software. The results will allow the improvement of design strategies of toroidal LPG fuel tanks, which create the relationships between work items and product components in the proposed 3D CAD objects.

Influence of the Rotating Piston Shape on the Flow Rate of a New Type of Rotating Working Machine
The paper presents a new constructive solution for a rotating pump that contains two profiled rotors; each rotor has two pistons that may be triangular or curvilinear (oval). The area difference of the two pistons in a c...
Phenomenon of Transiency in Water Supply Systems
Transient is a flow condition in which velocity and pressure change rapidly with time. A transient normally occurs when a flow control component changes status and this change flows through the system as a pressure wave...
