The phenomena that occur during compression of hybrid thin-walled columns with open cross-sections in the elastic range are discussed. Nonlinear buckling problems were solved within Koiter’s approximation theory. A multimodal approach was assumed to investigate an effect of symmetrical and anti-symmetrical buckling modes on the ultimate load-carrying capacity. Detailed simulations were carried out for freely supported columns with a C-section and a top-hat type section of medium lengths. The columns under analysis were made of two layers of isotropic materials characterized by various mechanical properties. The results attained were verified with the finite element method (FEM). The boundary conditions applied in the FEM allowed us to confirm the eigensolutions obtained within Koiter’s theory with very high accuracy. Nonlinear solutions comply within these two approaches for low and medium overloads. To trace the correctness of the solutions, the Riks algorithm, which allows for investigating unsteady paths, was used in the FEM. The results for the ultimate load-carrying capacity obtained within the FEM are higher than those attained with Koiter’s approximation method, but the leap takes place on the identical equilibrium path as the one determined from Koiter’s theory.

One of the main reasons for the scrap of cast thin-wall frame aluminum alloy castings is deformation and cracking. It is an effective method for solving the problem by predicting the distribution of casting stress, clarifying the size of the deformation and the location of the crack, and taking necessary measures in the process. This paper uses the ProCAST software to simulate the thermal stress coupling of A356 thin-walled frame castings, analyzes the influence of pouring temperature, pouring speed and mold temperature on the stress field distribution of castings, predicts the hot cracking trend and deformation, and optimizes Casting process..

The thin-walled cavity workpiece with insufficient rigid property is liable to deform during the machining process and the request of accuracy is very strict. The paper takes typical aeronautic aluminum-alloy for example, fixture is an important consideration in the operation. To reveal the influences of locating points, clamping sequence and loading ways on the distortion of thin-walled cavity part, finite element models were established to simulate the clamping operation. The result shows the preferable scheme is that the distance of the clamping locations are far each other, clamping forces are firstly applied on the surface with high rigid and all clamping forces are applied in many steps. The scheme can effectively control the deformation of clamp ,and furthermore improve the machining accuracy.
