Marine Composite

Marine composite materials typically exhibit significant rate dependent response characteristics when subjected to extreme dynamic loading conditions. In this work, a strain-rate dependent continuum damage model is incorporated with multicontinuum technology (MCT) to predict damage and failure progression for composite material structures. MCT treats the constituents of a woven fabric composite as separate but linked continua, thereby allowing a designer to extract constituent stress/strain information in a structural analysis. The MCT algorithm and material damage model are numerically implemented with the explicit finite element code LS-DYNA3D via a user-defined material model (umat). The effects of the strain-rate hardening model are demonstrated through both simple single element analyses for woven fabric composites and also structural level impact simulations of a composite panel subjected to various impact conditions. Progressive damage at the constituent level is monitored throughout the loading. The results qualitatively illustrate the value of rate dependent material models for marine composite materials under extreme dynamic loading conditions.

Static And Dynamic Loading

Currently, the automotive industry used sheets of different qualities. The most common include IF (inter Interstitial Free) steel and alloyed steel. Use the sheet quality depends on the point of application in the production car. Testing and product testing is a standard part of the process of innovation and production itself. Testing of automotive steels under dynamic conditions is increasingly important. Changing the hardness HV 1 was performed on the fractured bars on the static and dynamic loading conditions. Tests were made on steel IF and S 460.

Frictional Behaviour

The present work aims at studying the influence of strain rate on the frictional behaviour of AA7075 aluminium alloy in the O-annealed temper state. To this purpose, ring compression tests were performed both under quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions. The high strain rate tests were carried out by means of the Split Hopkinson Tension-Compression Bar in the direct version. In both cases, hollow cylindrical samples, characterised by an initial outer diameter to inner diameter to height ratio of 6:3:2, were tested under dry condition and by lubricating with molybdenum disulphide grease. The different frictional behaviour exhibited by AA7075-O under quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions can be attributed to the strain rate effect both on the plastic flow behaviour of the deformed material, and on the thickness of the lubricant film.

Strain Model

This paper is based on a ductile failure simulation under dynamic loading conditions using finite element (FE) analyses. Recently a simple finite element method in a quasi-static test has been proposed to implement fracture simulation based on the well-known stress modified fracture strain model. The stress-modified fracture strain model is determined to be incremental damage in terms of stress triaxiality and fracture strain for dimple fracture from tensile test result with FE analyses technique. Since dynamic loading effect is especially important to assess pipe with crack-like defect, this work propose the integrated model which combines quasi-static with dynamic loading effect. In order to validate stress-modified fracture strain model in dynamic loading conditions, this paper compares results of FE analysis using proposed method with strain dependent smooth bar tests and notch tensile tests using Johnson-Cook equation. In conclusion, the stress-modified fracture strain model criterion can be calibrated by FE analyses with strain rate dependent fracture toughness test results.

Dynamic Loading Conditions

The success of current total knee replacement (TKR) devices is contingent on the kinematics and contact mechanics during in vivo activity. Indicators of potential clinical performance of total joint replacement devices include contact stress and area due to articulations, and tibio-femoral and patello-femoral kinematics. An effective way of evaluating these parameters during the design phase or before clinical use is via computationally efficient computer models. Previous finite element (FE) knee models have generally been used to determine contact stresses and/or areas during static or quasi-static loading conditions. The majority of knee models intended to predict relative kinematics have not been able to determine contact mechanics simultaneously. Recently, however, explicit dynamic finite element methods have been used to develop dynamic models of TKR able to efficiently determine joint and contact mechanics during dynamic loading conditions [1,2]. The objective of this research was to develop and validate an explicit FE model of a TKR which includes tibio-femoral and patello-femoral articulations and surrounding soft tissues. The six degree-of-freedom kinematics, kinetics and polyethylene contact mechanics during dynamic loading conditions were then predicted during gait simulation.
