It is well known that the bubble dynamics and load characteristics of cavitation bubbles depend to a great extent on their proximity to the boundary. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between the boundary curvature and bubble dynamics, as well as the load characteristics, and summarize the relevant change laws. This study takes three hemispheres of different curvatures and one flat board as its main research boundaries. The hemisphere was chosen as the curved surface boundary because the hemisphere represents the simplest type of curved surface boundary. This method allowed us to easily observe the experimental results and summarize the change laws of bubble dynamics and load characteristics. A high voltage electricity of 400 V was used to produce stable and repeatable electric spark bubbles in this experiment. Since the pulsation time of the bubbles is very short, we used a high-speed camera to acquire the necessary photographs. We also used a Hopkinson bar (HPB) to measure the bubble collapse load. Suppose that the dimensionless parameter of curvature is ζ and the dimensionless parameter of the explosion distance is γ. By summarizing the 44 groups of the experimental results under different combinations of ζ and γ, we found that the cavitation bubble dynamics and loading characteristics are affected by ζ. With an increase of ζ, the shockwave load and bubble collapse load will decrease. In addition, in terms of load characteristics, this study further verified the change trend of the shockwave load and bubble collapse load with γ. For the bubble shrink shape, this paper illustrates the relationship between the bubble’s shrink shape and its shrinkage speed. Four typical bubble shrink shapes are summarized. The effects of different ζ and γ values on the jet are preliminarily explored using the experimental results, and, by considering the experimental results, the developmental trends of the time of the bubble’s first pulsation period are discussed.
Automobile side door glass squeaks and rattles during use. This abnormal noise can make the driver and occupants irritable and reduce the comfort of the automobile. This reduces the sales of this automobile. This paper analyzes and determines the cause of squeak and rattle during the lifting and lowering process of the side door glass of an automobile. The noise is due to four reasons. One is that the distance between the inner waterproof belt and the automobile side door glass of the automobile is unreasonable, causing excessive friction between the automobile side door glass and the inner waterproof belt during the automobile side door glass up and down movement. Other factors affecting squeak and rattle may be the distance between the automobile side door sheet metal and the automobile side door glass, the thickness of the automobile side door glass and the characteristics of the inner waterproof belt. The first two dimensions are analyzed using the 6 sigma method, and the structure of the inner waterproof belt is improved and the flocking position is adjusted. The squeak and rattle phenomenon is explained using the implicit dynamic analysis method ABAQUS, and the compression load deflection after the installation of the inner waterproof belt is 3–9 N/100 mm. This research completely solves the squeak and rattle problem caused by the up and down movement of the side door glass of the automobile. This research has significance for solving practical engineering problems.
In order to study the influence of the pressure load generated during the pulsation of cavitation bubbles on the oblique 45-degree curved surface boundary. The curved surface boundaries have different curvatures. This study also designs a multi-angle bracket to make the oblique boundary oblique 45 degrees. This research uses high-voltage electric discharge to generate electric spark bubbles, which act as cavitation bubbles. When the explosion source is at different distances from the oblique 45-degree boundary, a high-speed camera is used to capture the pulsation process of electric spark bubbles. A pressure sensor is used to measure the pulsating load of the electric spark bubbles on the oblique 45-degree boundary during the pulsation process. In this study, we use the dimensionless parameter ζ to represent the curvature of the oblique 45-degree boundary. The dimensionless parameter γ is used to represent the shortest distance between the explosion source and the oblique 45-degree boundary. It is found through experiments that the oscillation characteristics and pulsating load of electric spark bubbles will be affected by ζ and γ. This study summarized six types of unique bubble pulse shapes from 44 groups of experiments. They are “mushroom shape without jet”, “mound shape with jet”, “jellyfish shape with jet”, “oval shape with jet”, “drop shape without jet”, and “spherical shape without jet”. In this paper, the ABAQUS/Explicit is used to simulate the ring-shaped bubble that is not clearly captured by the high-speed camera. Finally, the study summarizes the shock wave load generated during the explosion, the first pulsation load, and the second pulsation load of electric spark bubbles, and finds an obvious overall trend of change.
