V-type coupling, which is often applied to turbochargers, is a mechanical fastener where radial forces close turbine housing and bearing housing together. It prevents leakage of exhaust gases by contact pressure of the backplate caused by the load transmitted from the bolt-tightening torque. Therefore, it is important to study the mechanical behaviors of the coupling system in order to establish more accurate sealing assessment technologies. In this study, an experiment was first conducted to obtain the relationship between torque and its resulting axial force in a specially designed gage bolt. Strains were then measured when the torque was applied using the gauge bolts on the turbocharger. Thus, the magnitude of the axial force due to the bolt torque can be obtained inversely. In addition, the circumference and width strains of the turbocharger coupling were measured under the assembly load, and theses results were compared with the finite element results. As a result, they tend to be very similar, but in the ring area, analysis results show a relatively small value, and near the bolt, the analysis results are larger than the experimental strains. This is thought to be due to the reduced strains around the bolt by the hammering process.

Coupling is commonly used as a mechanical fastener to connect the turbine housing and the bearing housing in a turbocharger assembly. The finite element analysis was used to predict the structural behaviors of the coupling system, which could be caused by the bolt clamping force in the assembly process and the thermal deformation during turbocharger operation. The back plate is used to prevent gas leakage from the turbine housing to the bearing housing while the fixed pin is inserted to set the reference position between the two parts. Thus, in order to predict the mechanical behaviors of the coupling system numerically, the temperature distributions were calculated by heat transfer analysis based on the rated speed of the diesel engine. As a result of analyzing the structural characteristics of the turbocharger, the contact pressure of the back plate was influenced by thermal deformations whereas the bending deformation of the fixed pin was affected by the thermal deformation and the pin position.

V-Coupling is used as a mechanical fastener to connect the turbine housing and the bearing housing in a turbocharger. The back plate is located between the turbine housing and the bearing housing, which is compressed by the bolt clamping force of coupling to prevent gas leakage under turbocharger operation. This paper presents the theoretical and analytical methods to predict the sealing performance by calculating the contact pressures on the back plate. The mathematical model was constructed to derive the contact force on the back plate by considering the force transfer mechanism. And, finite element analysis was carried out to predict the contact pressures by applying the bolt load in the coupling system. As a result, the analysis results of the mathematical model are well consistent with the results of the finite element analysis. Therefore, in the early design stage of turbocharger coupling, mathematical model would be helpful to determine the design parameters.

V-Coupling is commonly used as a mechanical fastener to connect the turbine housing and the bearing housing in a turbocharger assembly. The back plate between the turbine housing and bearing housing would be compressed by tightening torque of the coupling bolt in order to protect the gas leakage at a turbocharger’s operation. This paper presents the numerical and experimental method for the prediction of the mechanical behavior and sealing performance of the coupling system. The test was conducted to verify the finite element model by measuring the circumferential and axial direction strains of V-coupling under turbocharger’s assembly load. Finite element analysis was carried out to obtain the mechanical strains and contact pressures of the coupling. It can be seen that the analysis results are in good agreement with the measured strains from the coupling’s assembly load. And, the pressure distribution of the back plate also presented to identify the sealing performance of the turbocharger’s coupling system.

For coupled shear walls, coupling beams are the first line of dissipation under earthquakes. So coupling beams are important energy dissipation component. When coupling beams have little depth-to-span ratio, routine coupling beams have less capacity of energy dissipation.There are less design methods for coupling beams with depth-to-span less than 2. In this paper a specimen with steel plate reinforcement coupling beam was designed and analyzed by means of FEM software ABAQUS.
