In this study, circular disk model and cylinder theory for two dimension (2D) and three dimension (3D), respectively, have been used to determine residual stresses in three-phase representative volume element. The representative volume element is consisting of three phases: carbon fiber, carbon nanotubes, and polymer matrix, that carbon fiber is reinforced by carbon nanotube using electrophoresis method. Initially, the residual stresses analysis of two-phase representative volume element has been implemented. The two-phase representative volume element has been divided to carbon fiber and matrix phases with different volume fractions. In the three-phase representative volume element, although the volume fraction of carbon fiber is constant and equal to 60%, the volume fractions of carbon nanotubes for various cases are different as 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5%. Also, there are two different methods to reinforce the fiber according to different coefficients of thermal expansion of the carbon fiber and carbon nanotube in two longitudinal and transverse directions; carbon nanotubes are placed on carbon fiber either parallel or around it like a ring. Subsequently, finite element method and circular disk model have been used for analyzing micromechanic of the residual stresses for 2D and then the results of stress invariant obtained by the finite element method have been compared with the circular disk model. Moreover, for 3D model, the finite element method and cylinder theory have been utilized for micromechanical analysis of the residual stresses and the results of stress invariant obtained by them, have been compared with each other. Results of the finite element method and analytical model have good agreement in 2D and 3D models.

The source of residual stresses in the vicinity of a weld may be expressed in terms of inherent strains. The characteristics of the inherent strain distributions in butt welds are investigated. It is found that the patterns vary little with changes in the welding conditions and sizes of the welded plates. With some assumptions, simple formulas are derived for the distribution and magnitude of inherent strain in a butt weld. A method of predicting the residual stress in a butt-welded plate using the characteristics of inherent strain distributions is presented. The validity of the method is confirmed by thermal elasto-plastic analysis using the finite element method (FEM).

The non-uniform thermal expansion and contraction resulting from welding processes cause residual stresses and strains. Experimental studies on measuring welding residual stresses and strains of structure are costly and sometimes they are not possible. Previously, analytical methods with idealized models were developed to determine the welding residual stresses and strain. Recently, numerical methods are constructed to analyze the stresses and the strains in welded structures. This paper presents the calculation results of residual stress and welding strain in butt welded joint of S355J2G3 carbon steel of 5 mm thickness made by MAG welding process with a single pass. The calculation is performed by two methods: the imaginary force method and the finite element method. In the finite element method, the SYSWELD software is used to simulate and to determine residual stresses and strain of this welded joint. The results of finite element method are compared with those of imaginary force method to show the rationality and the advantages of finite element method. The study results have shown that in this welded joint, only the longitudinal and transverse stress components are important and the other stress components are negligible.

The purpose of the work is to evaluate the spatial distribution of the rigidity of the carrier frame and the body of the Ukrainian electric locomotive DC3 as a single system during operation and repair. The research was carried out on the basis of the finite element method with the application of design and computing complex SCAD for Windows. The numerical model of the electric locomotive was built, tested and then used to identify the causes and providing guidance on solving some specific operational questions. They are included, for example, the possibility of eliminating the body skew when jacking up on jacks and jamming the door as a result. The researches showed that the structure of the electric locomotive DS3 in general has a rather high spatial rigidity, both in transverse and longitudinal directions, and on torsion. However, for some practical repair tasks there is not enough for that rigidity. It was recommended to increase the thickness of the shell of its body up to 4 mm or the roof up to 8 mm, which leads to an increasing in the total mass of the machine by about 2,5 and 3,5 tons, respectively.

For the measurement of axisymmetric three-dimensional residual stresses, Sachs’ method is often used. The accuracy of this method is not high when even small errors are contained in observed strains. In 1975, the authors presented a new approach for the measurement of residual stresses in which inherent strains (the source of residual stresses) are dealt with as parameters and formulated a basic theory using the finite element method. In this paper, based on the new approach, a basic theory for the measurement of axisymmetric three-dimensional residual stresses is developed and a practical procedure of measurement is presented. This method is applied to determine the residual stresses in a quenched shaft and its reliability and practicability are also demonstrated.

Three problems, namely, autofrettage process, plastic upsetting of a solid cylinder, and plane-strain and axisymmetric extrusion, are treated for residual stress calculation. A thick-walled cylinder consisting of two loosely fitted concentric cylinders of different materials is subjected to various levels of internal pressure. The residual stresses were calculated with an emphasis on the case where the inner surface of the cylinder yields again upon removal of the internal pressure. Comparison between the calculations and the measurements is given. The residual stresses in plastic upsetting of a solid cylinder were calculated by the finite-element method. An attempt was also made to simulate the real situation in extrusion by the finite-element method. An estimation of the residual stress distribution is then discussed for axisymmetric extrusion problems.
