A project has been conducted to verify a finite element analysis procedure for studying the nonlinear behavior of 90°, stainless steel, 4 inch schedule 10, butt welding elbows. Two displacement controlled monotonic in-plane tests were conducted, one closing and one opening, and the loads, displacements, and strains at several locations were recorded. Stacked 90° tee rosette gages were used in both tests because of their ability to measure strain over a small area. ANSYS shell element 181 was used in the FEA reconciliations. The FEA models incorporated detailed geometric measurements of the specimens, including the welds, and material stress-strain data obtained from the attached straight piping. Initially, a mesh consisting of sixteen elements arrayed in 8 rings was used to analyze the elbow. The load-displacement correlation was quite good using this mesh, but the strain reconciliation was not. Analysis of the FEA results indicated that the axial and hoop strain gradients across the mid-section of the elbow were very high. In order to generate better strain correlations, the elbow mesh was refined in the mid-section of the elbow to include 48 elements per ring and an additional six rings, effectively increasing the element density by nine times. Using the refined mesh produced much better correlations with the strain data.

The purpose of this work is to study the Iosipescu shear test and more precisely its ability to characterize the shear modulus of a carbone/epoxy composite material. The parameters influencing this identification are the fibre orientation, the geometry of the notch and the boundary conditions. Initially these parameters were studied through the finite element analysis of the shear test. Then, the measurement of the shear strains was carried out by traditional methods of measurement (strain gauges) but also by optical methods. These optical methods: the digital image correlation and the electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI); allow for various levels of loading, to reach a full-field measurement of the shear strain. This enabled us to study the strain distribution on the section between the two notches. The finite element model enabled us to study the parameters influencing the calculation of the shear modulus in comparison with strain gauges, image correlation and ESPI. This work makes it possible to conclude on optimal parameters for the Iosipescu test.

Prediction of final microstructures after high temperature forming of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was´attempted in this study. Using two typical microstructures, i.e., equiaxed and Widmanstätten microstructures, compression test was carried out up to the strain level of 0.6 at various temperatures (700 ~ 1100°C) and strain rates (10-4 ~ 102/s). From the flow stress-strain data, parameters such as strain rate sensitivity (m) and activation energy (Q) were calculated and used to establish constitutive equations for both microstructures. Then, finite element analysis was performed to predict the final microstructure of the deformed body, which was well accorded with the experimental results.

The dynamic development of highly accurate optical measuring machines within the last years pushed the introduction of digitizing techniques to many applications in the fields of quality control, reverse engineering and rapid prototyping. By projecting fringe patterns onto the object's surface and recording pictures of the curvature dependant deformation of the pattern, 3D coordinates for each camera pixel are calculated on the basis of the principle of triangulation. The generation of a polygon mesh can be used for the analysis of the deviation of a die or a formed part to the initial CAD data, i.e. by means of full field or section based comparison. This paper presents the application of the above mentioned techniques on a double sheet hydroforming process. The gathered 3D data of the clam-shell part as well as of the tooling dies served for the calculation of the deviation to the respective reference geometry. With respect to the utilization of digitized tooling data within the finite element analysis, further investigations were performed on the impact of data reduction strategies. Aiming on the minimization of the necessary number of elements, representing the tooling surface in a discrete state, and on the request for a sufficient degree of accuracy, these strategies have to be considered of high priority.

The finite element analysis is used for general experimental mechanics of materials. By analyzing numerical value of finite element in ANSYS software platforms, the corresponding stress, strain data and deformation diagram will be obtained. This lays a foundation for academic research of experiment. This paper compares the conventional electric method with finite element analysis by the normal-stress distribution of pure bending beams experiment. The comparing shows that the experimental results of the two methods are uniformity. In this paper, the study provides an effective way to experimental mechanics of innovative research.
