    Assembly design and finite element analysis of a basketball rim
    Daniel, Uduoise Osemudiamen; Bodzás, Sándor; DE--Műszaki Kar
    During the course of the educational presentation although how tedious the compilation of documents publications and books seem, I was able to learn more about to perform and render 3d and 2d models with the aid of computer aided software like solid works. And there take said design and work to analyzed through the finite element analysis method in other to truly understand the importance intricates and complexity of material selections. Now I would like to talk about the ideal rim. The ideal rim remodification I would say is the first the backboard. The rim breakaway or breakaway rim was designed with the same ideology of the flexible rim but with the exception of the movement of a joint in the pivot of the connection between the board and rim. The breakaway rim is created to fix two main functions namely to maintain the same rebound characteristics of the rigid rim to ensure consistency of play and the fact fair play is involved. And secondly to absorb the great impact of the weight of players when they hand on the rim or pull sharply on it. In other to perform this role to the maximum we will need to combine the rigid and flexible rim mechanism creating the perfect rim.

    Mecahnical analysis and optimization of adhesive solutions in automotive manufacturing: a study on Loctite adhesives
    Ahammed, Jishan; Domokos, István; DE--Műszaki Kar
    This thesis will provide an overview of the benefits and drawbacks of adhesive and their bonding applications in the automotive industry. Through this research, you will gain an understanding of the significance of adhesive bonding technologies over traditional joints like welded joints, in vehicle design and construction, where the reasons behind the choice of materials and procedures have been specified. This study includes an experiment that is designed to examine and verify the strength characteristics of the cyanoacrylate adhesives Loctite 402 and 408. Additionally, the comparison of the characteristics of the mentioned adhesives on the same kind of alloy materials has been discussed in this thesis. Following the cutting process, the specimens were then glued into a single-lap joint using a different glue for each specimen to compare their strengths. Following the application of adhesives, a portion of the specimens were exposed to standard room temperature and humidity levels. Subsequently, an Instron machine was utilized to conduct experimental tests on the joint of those samples using a lap shear tensile test setup. For every bonded material, the measured load values were presented separately in graphs within the Instron machine. Furthermore, this study compares the outcomes of Loctite 402 and 408 by illustrating the lap shear strength and stress-strain curve analysis. After the data was collected from the machine and exported to an Excel file for each specimen, their outcomes were evaluated to determine which one would be a better solution for automotive purposes. Additionally, it assisted us in determining how to enhance their adhesive solution and bring it into compliance with the industry standards.

    Manufacturing design and static analysis of a gear shaft
    Okonokhua, Israel Osezele; Bodzás, Sándor; DE--Műszaki Kar
    Among the best ways to transfer power along with rotational motion, whether it involves an adjustment in speed or direction, through the point of origin to its destination is through gearing. The main functions of gears are for transferring torque as well as angular speed difference between two shafts. In the subject of gear studies, optimal design works well to ascertain the ideal gear characteristics for fulfilling design. There are multiple variables that go into gear design and iterative methods must also be used in the gear construction to maximize the gear's specifications. This present research presents a gear shaft design that is constructed with the use of SOLIDWORKS and the manufacturing process of the design done by the use of the Edgecam software and also a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for assessing the engineering as well as vibration evaluation of an automotive gearbox component shaft with gearing. Analysis includes examining the part's displacement behavior with corresponding stress. ANSYS is used to build a 3-dimensional finite element simulation. The meshing of the model is done with the ANSYS Workbench. Boundary requirements including external loads are also utilized. The manufacturing design will be done in two parts due to the high level of complexity associated with the gear shaft. The first part will include the parametric configurations used for machining one end of the gear shaft and the second part will include the parametric configurations used for machining the other end of the gear shaft. This means that when the machining process has to be done on the CNC machine, there will be two separate CNC codes to be utilized which can run successively. During the manufacturing design phase, important information can be obtained, such as the overall time for machining of one or both ends of the gear shaft as well as the safety conditions that were utilized during the process. In order to get a better understanding of the finite element analysis operation, a bigger gear will be created and will mate with the teeth of the gear shaft model to transfer rotary motion from one gear to another. The analysis will involve the von-mises stress and total deformation that takes place at the exact point of contact between both gears based on the selected material properties for the gear models. This will result in the awareness of the changes in the mechanical properties of the gear shaft and its resulting mating gear.

    Comparison and evaluation of energy storage system
    Ogunmola, Ifeoluwa Opeyemi; Szendrei, János; DE--Műszaki Kar
    Energy storage has been a challenge right from the beginning of the renewable energy revolution, The popularity of intermittent renewable energy is growing, as the storage of fixed and mobile energy continues to be a crucial area of focus. Electricity is not capable of being stored, but it can be transformed into other forms of energy that are capable of being kept. These stored forms of energy can then be converted back into electricity as needed. Energy storage systems can utilize many technologies such as electrochemical in form of batteries, supercapacitors, Mechanical in the form of flywheels, CAES, and Pumped hydro, thermal modules, Superconducting magnetic, power to gas and hybrid systems. This study compares and evaluates the battery storage options through meticulous sizing calculations, clarifying the relationship between capacity, power, efficiency, and lifetime factors especially with regard to the recently implemented Solar Plusz Program (Napenergia’24), and power to gas, potential and hybrid storage options with the use of some formulars and calculations to consider the sizing of these technologies and compares the criteria needed for sizing. The review that was carried out shows that a hybrid energy storage system performs better in terms of microgrid stability and reliability when compared to applications that use a simple battery energy storage system with case studies. Hybrid energy storage system (HESS) is the best option for energy storage because a single energy storage system cannot meet every demand at once. So, choosing the right combination of storage solutions is essential for a system design that is cost-effective.

    Investigation of tool wear patterns and their optimization in single point cutting tool
    Hitimana, Jean Pierre; Pálinkás, Sándor; DE--Műszaki Kar
    The main tasks to be elaborated in this thesis are four: The first task is an overview of the theoretical background on different tool wear patterns, this task is mainly divided into two parts. I used different bibliographies to review the existing literature to find out what recent researches say about these wear patterns, I explained and developed different tool wear patterns, their causes, and the possible methods to minimize or avoid them from happening. The second task is about creating a 3D model of the cutting tool deformation during machining. In this section, I used Solidworks software to create a 3D model of a single-point cutting tool and a cylindrical workpiece. Both models have been joined by the assembly method to facilitate the simulation as an entity-body import. The Third task is about carrying out Finite Element Analysis for the tool Pattern. I used ANSYS 2023 R1 software during this analysis. I used the Explicit Dynamics in Ansys at different depths of cut of 0.5 mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, and 2mm and the federate of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 mm/sec. The material used for the workpiece is structural steel and high-speed steel for a single-point cutting tool. After making the simulation, the final results have been evaluated. The deformation, the equivalent (Von-Mises) stress, and the reaction force have been generated. The fourth task concerns the evaluation of the results and comparison with scientific research resources. Based on the results on stress, deformation and the reaction forces found, a comparison was made and it has been found that by increasing the depth of cut and federate, the cutting force (reactive) increases and this is the major cause of the cutting tool wear.

    Kinyua, Lynn Wanjiku; Hajdu, Sándor; DE--Műszaki Kar
    Finite element method and CAD are popular techniques that support and streamline a number of construction and simulation-related tasks. A scenario where these techniques are utilized, engineers and companies benefit from savings in terms of costs, time, and resources when this software is used. This thesis finite element approach has been utilized in design and analysis. A conveyor belt system is designed and a roller is analysed using the SolidEdge software. As the solid edge software is used for both the assembly and modeling process of the part, it is simpler to modify the model as it is being designed to match the intended size and to identify any compromises that may need to be made in order to obtain the most precise and optimum design. SolidEdge has a simple to use FEM program that facilitates analysis. It provides simulations with meshes ranging from coarse to fine, enabling accurate depiction of the forces operating on it. The simulation module makes it possible to perform analysis and prediction in order to identify the maximum projected stress that can be applied on the roller and put to use in the implementation. The roller displacement can also be observed upon implication of the force. In addition to, factor of safety of the roller can be determined once the analysis is done. The factor of safety is used to determine how much load the roller can withhold before it deforms.

    Kalthoum, Mhd Wafik; Huri, Dávid; DE--Műszaki Kar
    International design regulations can be used to test and design a reactor pressure vessel. These codes give engineers proactive steps that can be taken to prevent any major catastrophes. Through the use of the ANSYS finite element program, this project examines the efficacy of the elastic-plastic limit based design approaches of the primary International Design Codes (ASME and BS). For the analysis, a standard pressurized water reactor (PWR) with a 300 MW capacity was chosen. SA-508 Gr.3 Cl.1, a nuclear grade steel, was utilized as the RPV material in the comparison. It has been determined that the design by analysis approach can be utilized to eliminate the needless caution that results from using the design by rule approach, which is covered in BS-5500 section 3. This study suggests that by applying the design by analysis approach as outlined in the ASME code, the maximum allowed pressure of the RPV may be increased by up to 26.37%.

    Shape optimization of a rubber bumper by using Ansys optiSlang
    Platonov, Iurii; Huri, Dávid; DE--Műszaki Kar
    This thesis aimed to explore the application of optimization algorithms, through the shape optimization of a rubber bumper, a crucial component in automotive engineering. The ever growing complexity of engineering tasks and the demand for efficient solutions motivated me to investigate how artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), integrated into various optimization software, can enhance and speed up the design process. Through the analysis of scientific literature dedicated to rubber materials and optiSlang optimization software, various rubber products were introduced, including their properties, usage cases, advantages, disadvantages, structural, production, and simulation-related limitations, additionally, available techniques and algorithms of optiSlang were explained, their applicability in different industries. The optimization process involves specifying the objective function, in our case, a single goal task, depreciation of a relative error function of a reaction force by modifying the inner and outer diameter of a rubber bumper and comparing it with the known optimum. During the next step specimen’s geometry was created and a finite element model was introduced, including the incorporation of constraints, loads, boundary conditions, and meshing. After confirming the mesh integrity and force convergence through different metrics and graphs, sensitivity analysis was performed. The goal was to find the connection between design parameters and the objective function while narrowing down the search space, which helped to evaluate optimal designs quicker during the comparison of optimization algorithms. Throughout testing, discrete inputs were preferred due to cost and manufacturing limitations, yet continuous variable optimization methods were also employed for their precision. While using optimization algorithms for both types of inputs, results indicated that all optimization methods yield reliable outcomes within reasonable computational timeframes, with the power of standard hardware configurations. The findings indicated the importance of selecting appropriate optimization algorithms based on the specific objectives, computational resources availability, and time constraints of the engineering task. The novel One-Click method was also highlighted, showing rapid results generation capabilities and simultaneous comparison of all available optimization algorithms.

    Sun, Biyao; Bodzás, Sándor; DE--Műszaki Kar
    The main purpose of this paper is to design the geometric design of flat body turning tool and the finite element analysis of it. I introduced the geometric design of the turning tool and the content of finite analysis, and then proposed four different design schemes. Then, I drew the designed turning tool and the workpiece through 2 and 3 dimensional composition, and built a three-dimensional model. Finally, for the analysis of simulation results, I mainly carried out three aspects of analysis. Total deformation, equivalent stress and equivalent elastic strain. These three data can well analyze the stress of the turning tool in the working process, which will also make my design more accurate. By summarizing these three types of data, I got the basic data of turning tools of four different design schemes, which I also summarized in the paper. All in all, the design of these four kinds of turning tools meet the requirements.

    3D scanning and manufacturing design of an engine piston
    Ni, Gaoyuan; Bodzás, Sándor; DE--Műszaki Kar
    The main objective of this thesis consists of developing a three-dimensional (3D) model of a piston head using Computer Aided Design (CAD) software. Although AutoCAD software is primarily focused on two-dimensional (2D) applications, it was chosen for this thesis because of its ability to generate 3D models as well. After completing the 3D model using the computer-aided design (CAD) software, I traveled to the lab and utilized the 3D scanning equipment to capture the physical piston head. I then performed a comparative analysis of the aforementioned 3D model and the scan results with the aim of identifying any potential discrepancies or inaccuracies. This stage was completed with the help of Mr. Dániel Nemes, who provided invaluable assistance throughout the process. Initial comparisons showed significant differences between the produced and scanned 3D models. Therefore, I optimized the accuracy of the piston head 3D model by optimizing it. Subsequent analysis showed that the error of the improved model was below an acceptable threshold. The third objective of this thesis was to develop a machining process for the piston head using EdgeCAM software. Proficiency in milling and turning machining techniques was achieved by exploring the relevant PDF learning resources available on the official EdgeCAM website and by utilizing instructional videos available on the Internet. During the initial design phase, I realized that the unique composition of the piston head did not allow for the use of only milling or turning methods in the machining process. Therefore, it was decided to use Solidworks software to divide the 3D model of the piston head into different parts. The upper portion of the piston head was manufactured utilizing turning machining techniques. The upper part of the piston head is manufactured by the turning machining process while the lower part of the piston head is manufactured by milling machining process. At the initial stage of the design process, it is vital to determine the appropriate blank for the machined object. Subsequently, fixtures and machine tools must be set up accordingly. The EdgeCAM 3D model is then utilized to determine the specific features to be machined. Finally, the machining design is carried out, including determining the relevant cutting tools, the type of machining (e.g. rough turning, rough grooving, finish grooving) and the specific type of machining based on the feature to be machined. In turning, different operations such as rough turning, rough grooving, finish turning, finish grooving, and cut-off require the adjustment of specific parameters for each operation. Similarly, milling encompasses a variety of machining techniques, including roughing, contour milling, and face milling. The final goal was to optimize the machining process design. I successfully optimized the milling process for the lower part of the piston head on two occasions, reducing the machining time from 51 minutes to 13 minutes the first time and 9 minutes the second time.

    Hőre lágyuló kompozit féknyereg végeselemes modellezése multiscale anyagmodell segítségével
    File, Máté; Huri, Dávid; DE--Műszaki Kar
    A dolgozatom során egy termoplasztikus kompozitból készült féknyereg végeselemes modellezését végeztem el, melyet az osztrák Johannes Kepler Universität Linz, Institute of Polymer Product Engineering (JKU IPPE) intézettel közösen dolgoztam ki. A modellezési feladat elvégzéséhez egy anyagi szintű visszafejtő tervezési eljárást dolgoztam ki, multiscale anyagmodellek és az ilyen modellek által nyújtott lehetőségek felhasználásával. A féknyereg alapanyaga egy PPS (polifenilén-szulfid) kompozit véletlenszerű orientációjú karbonszálerősítéssel, a laboratóriumi vizsgálathoz felhasznált próbatestek pedig egyirányú szálerősítésűek voltak. Szobahőmérsékleten és 150 °C-on szakítóvizsgálatokat végeztem különböző orientációkban. A szakítóvizsgálatok elvégzése után mikroszkópos vizsgálat és képelemzés segítségével meghatároztam az alapanyag szál kitöltési tényezőjét. A mért értékek alapján létrehoztam a kiinduló egyirányú szálerősítésű alapanyag multiscale modelljét. A Multiscale Designer szoftver egy optimalizáló eljárás segítségével kiszámította a 0°-os és 90°-os próbatestek által szolgáltatott értékek alapján az alapanyagot felépítő szálerősítés, illetve mátrixanyag mechanikai tulajdonságait. Az így létrejött modellel elvégeztem a 45°-os próbatest végeselemes szimulációját, majd ezt összehasonlítottam a mért értékkel, mely 8%-os relatív hibát mutatott. Ugyanezen eljárást elvégeztem a magasabb hőmérsékletű eredmények esetében is, ebben az esetben magasabb, 24%-os hiba mutatkozott, mivel a modell létrehozásához is a szobahőmérsékleten mért eredményeket használtam fel szálirányban. A szobahőmérsékletű és 150°C-os mechanikai paramétereket felhasználva lineáris interpolációval egy harmadik modellt is létrehoztam a 120°C-os hőmérséklethez. Az anyagmodellek által szolgáltatott mátrix, illetve szálerősítés mechanikai tulajdonságokat ezután bemenő paraméterként használtam egy-egy véletlenszerű rövidszál erősítéshez alkalmazható anyagmodell létrehozásához. A modellekhez a mért szál kitöltési tényezőt használtam fel ebben az esetben is, a véletlenszerű szálerősítést pedig kvázi-izotropként kezeltem. Az így létrehozott anyagmodelleket használtam fel a féknyereg szimulációjához. A féknyereg szimulációjakor az összeszerelés és a maximális féknyomás általi terheléseket vizsgáltam meg. A féknyereg a szimulációk alapján nem felelt meg a támasztott követelményeknek, mivel a 120°C-os és 150°C-os hőmérsékletek esetén a két fél szétnyílásának mértéke meghaladta az 1 mm-t. A nagy mértékű alakváltozás a kapcsolódó alkatrészek károsodását, illetve a fékhatás csökkenését, megszűnését okozhatja. Az alapanyag a szimulációk által szolgáltatott eredmények alapján nem alkalmazható a féknyereg esetében.
