Mechanics Of Composite Materials

Abstract Recent developments in nonlinear finite element methods (FEM) and mechanics of composite materials have made it possible to handle complex tire mechanics problems involving large deformations and moderate strains. The development of an accurate material model for cord/rubber composites is a necessary requirement for the application of these powerful finite element programs to practical problems but involves numerous complexities. Difficulties associated with the application of classical lamination theory to cord/rubber composites were reviewed. The complexity of the material characterization of cord/rubber composites by experimental means was also discussed. This complexity arises from the highly anisotropic properties of twisted cords and the nonlinear stress—strain behavior of the laminates. Micromechanics theories, which have been successfully applied to hard composites (i.e., graphite—epoxy) have been shown to be inadequate in predicting some of the properties of the calendered fabric ply material from the properties of the cord and rubber. Finite element models which include an interply rubber layer to account for the interlaminar shear have been shown to give a better representation of cord/rubber laminate behavior in tension and bending. The application of finite element analysis to more refined models of complex structures like tires, however, requires the development of a more realistic material model which would account for the nonlinear stress—strain properties of cord/rubber composites.

Strain Behavior

Biological soft tissues like muscles and cartilages are anisotropic, inhomogeneous, and nearly incompressible. The incompressible material behavior may lead to some difficulties in numerical simulation, such as volumetric locking and solution divergence. Mixed u-P formulations can be used to overcome incompressible material problems. The hyperelastic materials can be used to describe the biological skeletal muscle behavior. In this study, experiments are conducted to obtain the stress-strain behavior of a solid silicone rubber tube. It is used to emulate the skeletal muscle tensile behavior. The stress-strain behavior of silicone is compared with that of muscles. A commercial finite element analysis package ABAQUS is used to simulate the stress-strain behavior of silicone rubber. Results show that mixed u-P formulations with hyperelastic material model can be used to successfully simulate the muscle material behavior. Such an analysis can be used to simulate and analyze other soft tissues that show similar behavior.

ABSTRACTThe objective of this study is to examine the effect of heat treatment on polycrystalline Ti-50.9 at.%Ni subsequent to hot-rolling. In particular we examine microstructure, transformation temperatures and mechanical behavior of deformation processed NiTi. The results constitute a fundamental understanding of the effect of heat treatment on thermal/stress induced martensite, which is critical for optimizing mechanical properties. The high temperature of the hot-rolling process caused recrystallization, recovery, and hindered precipitate formation, essentially solutionizing the NiTi. Subsequent heat treatments were carried out at various temperatures for 1.5 hours. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) observations revealed that Ti3Ni4 precipitates progressively increased in size and changed their interface with the matrix from being coherent to incoherent with increasing heat treatment temperature. Accompanying the changes in precipitate size and interface coherency, transformation temperatures were observed to systematically shift, leading to the occurrence of the R-phase and multiple-stage transformations. Room temperature stress-strain tests illustrated a variety of mechanical responses for the various heat treatments, from pseudoelasticity to shape memory. The changes in stress-strain behavior are interpreted in terms of shifts in the primary martensite transformation temperatures, rather then the occurrence of the R-phase transformation. The results confirm that Ti3Ni4 precipitates can be used to elicit a desired isothermal stress-strain behavior in polycrystalline NiTi.

Behavior Characteristic

The Jones-Nelson-Morgan nonlinear material model is used in the derivation of a buckling criterion for laminated plates with nonlinear stress-strain behavior characteristic of many fiber-reinforced composite materials. A search procedure is developed to solve this buckling criterion which is transcendental because of interdependence of the buckling load and the coefficients relating the variations in laminate forces and moments to the variations in strains and curvatures. The effect of stress-strain curve nonlinearities on laminate buckling loads is illustrated by comparing solutions of the buckling criterion to buckling loads for laminates with linear stress-strain behavior.

In the present study, nickel phosphorous alloys (Ni-P) and Ni-P/ silicon carbide (SiC) nanocomposite coatings were deposited by electrodeposition on steel substrates in order for their microstructural properties to be assessed while using SEM, XRD, and three-dimensional (3D) profilometry as well as nanoindentation. The amorphisation of the as-plated coatings was observed in all cases, whereas subsequent heat treatment induced crystallization and Ni3P intermetallic phase precipitation. Examination of the surface topology revealed that the surface roughness follows the deposition characteristics and heat treatment induced microstructural changes. Additionally, substantial improvements in mechanical properties, including hardness, yield stress, and elasticity modulus, were obtained for the Ni-P, Ni-P/SiC nanocomposites when heat treated as seen from the nanoindentation results. A Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was developed to simulate the nanoindentation tests that enable the precise extraction of the Ni-P and Ni-P/SiC nanocomposite coatings’ stress-strain behavior. It is shown that the correlation between the nanoindentation tests and the computational models was satisfactory, while the stress-strain curves revealed higher yield points for the heat-treated samples.

Age Hardening

Abstract Recent advances in computational technology have allowed engineers to conduct previously impractical analyses, particularly with the development of the Finite Element Method (FEM). In turn, this has led the sheet metal forming industry into an economy drive, with an increasing necessity for ‘first time’ forming operations and reduced scrap rates. The successful prediction of large-scale plastic deformation in a sheet component relies on the accuracy of the material model used, especially when anisotropic materials are considered. Some stretch formed or deep drawn forms are geometrically complex and may require several draws with inter-stage anneals and/or solution heat treatments to achieve full form, and the varying material properties create significant difficulties in the modelling of these forming processes. Current orthotropic yield criteria do not allow for any sense of time dependency and although the atomic effects of solution heat treatment and precipitation hardening are well understood, the macroscopic effects of deformation behaviour are not. A test program was developed to investigate the effects of an increasing age hardening time on an aerospace Alclad 2024-O material after a solution heat treatment. With access to industrial heat treatment equipment, extensive tensile tests were conducted at varying age hardening times and a test rig was manufactured to obtain balanced biaxial tension data. Through the subsequent analysis, a method of predicting the data needed to generate a materials model suitable for FEA was developed, based on a modified version of Hill’s 1990 non-quadratic yield criterion. This was used to generate yield loci for the various age hardening times and compared with the loci generated with the predicted loci. Evaluation of the accuracy of the new criterion, and hence the predictive method, was achieved through its implementation in a finite element code used to model a punch-stretch test. Modelled surface strains were then compared with those measured strains determined during an empirical validation test programme. With the knowledge that the analysis came from data predicted from a minimum of empirical tests, the predicted results were found to be in good agreement with the experimental values.

In this paper, the Fe-rich phases in and their detrimental effect on aluminum alloys are summarized. The existence of brittle platelet β-Fe-rich phases lowers the mechanical properties of aluminum alloys. The methods to neutralize the detrimental effect of iron are discussed. The use of high cooling rate, solution heat treatment, and addition of elements such as Mn, Cr, Be, Co, Mo, Ni, V, W, Cu, Sr, or the rare earth elements Y, Nd, La, and Ce are reported to modify the platelet Fe-rich phases in aluminum alloys. The mechanism of the modification is briefly described. Technologies to remove iron from aluminum are reviewed extensively. The precipitation and removal of Fe-rich phases (sludge) are discussed. The dense phases can be removed by methods such as gravitational separation, electromagnetic (EM) separation, and centrifuge. Other methods include electrolysis, electro-slag refining, fractional solidification, and fluxing refining. The expensive three-layer cell electrolysis process is the most successful technique to remove iron from aluminum so far.
