Ship port machinery forging is a key port equipment component, its quality and performance have an important impact on the overall performance and safety of port equipment. Due to the complex and changeable working environment of port equipment, the performance requirements of ship port mechanical forgings are higher. In order to improve the quality and performance of forgings and reduce the failure rate of equipment, it is necessary to optimize the design of ship port mechanical forgings. This paper introduces an optimization design method of ship port mechanical forgings based on finite element method, and discusses its application prospect.
The past research mainly focused on the material, manufacturing process and strengthening technology of ship port mechanical forgings. However, there are few researches on the optimization design method of ship port mechanical forgings. Some researches focus on the mechanical properties of forgings by experimental methods, such as tensile, compression, impact, etc., but these researches are often limited to a specific mechanical behavior, and fail to consider the performance optimization of forgings as a whole. In addition, the existing research lacks the performance evaluation of ship port mechanical forgings under actual working conditions, and it is difficult to guide the problems in practical application.
The research question of this paper is: Can the optimization design method of ship port mechanical forgings based on finite element method improve product quality and performance? In order to solve this problem, we assume that the optimization design of ship port mechanical forgings by finite element method can significantly improve the performance of forgings and reduce the failure rate of equipment.
In this paper, the finite element method is used to optimize the design of ship port mechanical forgings. Firstly, 3D scanner is used to scan the existing ship port mechanical forgings to obtain accurate 3D geometric models. Then, the finite element software is used to divide the model and analyze the mechanics, and the performance of the forging is simulated by adjusting the mesh parameters, material parameters and boundary conditions. At the same time, combined with the experimental design method, the simulation results were verified and optimized.
Through finite element analysis and experimental verification, it is found that the strength, toughness and fatigue properties of the ship port mechanical forgings using the optimization design method are significantly improved. Specifically, the optimized forgings have increased their maximum bearing capacity, impact resistance and fatigue resistance by more than 20%. In addition, the optimized design also reduces the weight of the forgings and improves the energy efficiency of the equipment.
The results of this study prove the validity of the optimization design method of ship port mechanical forgings based on finite element method. The strength, toughness and fatigue properties of the optimized forgings are significantly improved, which helps to reduce the failure rate of the equipment and improve the safety and reliability of the equipment. Compared with previous studies, this study adopts a more accurate finite element analysis method and considers more design variables and actual working conditions, thus achieving better optimization results.
However, there are some limitations to this study. First of all, finite element analysis is a computationally intensive method, which requires high computing resources and time. Second, the sample size for experimental verification is limited and may not be fully representative of all actual situations. Future research directions could include developing more efficient optimization algorithms, improving computational efficiency, and conducting more extensive experimental validation to adapt to more actual working conditions.
This study shows that the optimization design method of ship port mechanical forgings based on finite element method can improve the quality and performance of products. Through finite element analysis and experimental verification, the strength, toughness and fatigue properties of the optimized forgings are significantly improved, which is helpful to improve the safety and reliability of the equipment. However, there are still some limitations in this study, and future research directions can include further optimization of the algorithm and improvement of computational efficiency, as well as more extensive experimental verification.
