  • Publication number: 20230063478
    Abstract: To provide a simulation method in which a zooming analysis method is applied to a particle method to analyze displacement and stress. An analysis model in which an object to be analyzed is divided by a first mesh is analyzed by using a finite element method or a particle method. A partial region of the analysis model is selected as a zooming region, the zooming region is divided by a second mesh, and a particle is disposed at each node of the second mesh. The particle at the node is displaced based on displacement by the analysis using the first mesh. A boundary condition of the zooming region is set based on a particle position at the node after the displacement. The particle is displaced by using the particle method under the boundary condition. Stress acting on the zooming region is obtained based on a particle position after the displacement.

  • Patent number: 5326953
    Abstract: A wire electrical feeding device for an electrical discharge machine. Vibrator assemblies are utilized to feed the wire electrode through electrode guides of the electrical discharge machine. A first vibrator assembly vibrates through a locus which includes a component in the wire feeding direction. The wire electrode is selectively pressed against the first vibrator assembly when the first vibrator assembly is moving in a direction having a component in a wire feeding direction. In the alternative, a second vibrator assembly, which is coupled to the first, clamps the wire electrode when the first vibrator assembly is moving in a direction having a component in the wire feeding direction. The vibrator assembles may each be driven at different vibrational frequencies.
