This paper presented a finite element analysis of the effect of brazed residual stress on creep for stainless steel plate-fin structure using finite element code ABAQUS. The as-brazed residual stress distribution generated during the brazing process was obtained. Two cases, which are denoted Cases 1 and 2, were analyzed and compared to discuss the effect of as-brazed residual stress on creep. Case 1 was to carry out creep analysis just at the internal operating pressure. Case 2 was to perform the creep analysis considering the internal operating pressure in conjunction with as-brazed residual stress. The results show that due to the mechanical property mismatch between filler metal and base metal, large residual stress is generated in the brazed joint, which has a great influence on creep for stainless steel plate-fin structure. The creep strain and stress distribution of the overall plate-fin structure is obtained. The position that is most likely to fail is the fillet for the plate-fin structure at high temperature. Especially in the fillet interface, the creep strain and stress distribution are discontinuous and uncoordinated, which have great effect on creep failure.

The threat of terrorism has led to increased awareness about protecting properties from damage in terrorist attacks. With the rapid growth of the computer industry and progress in the field of finite-element analysis, evaluations of conventional weapons focus more on simulations than on experiments. There are many approaches to simulate blast and impact. These include Eulerian, Lagrangian, multi-material arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (MM-ALE), and the meshless approach of smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) methods. Each method has distinct advantages. In this study, finite-element analysis was applied to simulate a 1 kg trinitrotoluene (TNT) blast in front of a 20-mm-thick steel plate. Three different approaches were simulated: Eulerian, MM-ALE, and SPH. Each method gave different results for the von Mises stress distribution, peak pressure, and displacement of the steel plate. A comparison of the three results implies that using one of these three approaches may generate a significant blast simulation.

Railcar wheels and axles belong to the most critical components in railway vehicles. The service conditions of railway vehicles have been more severe in recent years due to speed-up. Therefore, a more precise evaluation of railcar wheel life and safety has been requested. Wheel/rail contact fatigue and thermal cracks due to braking are two major mechanisms of the railcar wheel failure. One of the main sources influencing on the contact zone failure is residual stress. The residual stress in wheels formed during heat treatment in manufacturing changes in the process of braking. Thus the fatigue life of railcar wheels should be estimated by considering both thermal stress and rolling contact. Also, the effect of residual stress variation due to manufacturing process and braking process should be included in simulating contact fatigue behavior. In this paper, an evaluation procedure for the contact fatigue life of railcar wheels considering the effects of residual stresses due to heat treatment, braking and repeated contact load is proposed. And the cyclic stressstrain history for fatigue analysis is simulated by finite element analysis for the moving contact load.
