Three-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis of Residual Stress in Arteries

In this study, three-dimensional finite element residual stress analysis of a small bore penetration nozzle was performed using the commercial finite element program, ABAQUS. Comparing with the real PWSCC (primary water stress corrosion crack) history, it is identified that the finite element analysis is valid in the viewpoint of PWSCC initiation and growth. Parametric finite element residual stress analysis was systematically implemented in order to investigate effect of the geometric variables including nozzle outer diameter/thickness, buttering thickness, angle between central axes of head & nozzle, etc. on the residual stresses. As a result of the parametric analysis, it is found that effects of the nozzle outer diameter and the angle between central axes of head & nozzle on the maximum residual stress generation location and magnitude are significant while effects of the head thickness, the buttering thickness, the weld depth, and the nozzle thickness to outer diameter are insignificant.

A three-dimensional finite element analysis is developed for the cold expansion process in two aluminum alloys, 2024-T351 and 7050-T7451. The entire cold working process including hole expansion, elastic recovery, and finish reaming is simulated. Both isotropic hardening and kinematic hardening models are considered in the numerical calculations. The results suggest that a three-dimensional nature exists in the residual stress fields surrounding the hole. There are significant differences in residual stresses at different sections through the thickness. However, residual stress at the surface is shown to remain the same for the different plastic hardening models after the hole has recovered and finish reaming has been performed. The reaming of the material around the hole has slight effect on the maximum value and distribution of residual stresses. A comparison has been drawn between the FEA of average through thickness strain and a previous experimental investigation of strain that utilized neutron diffraction and modified Sachs boring on a 7050 aluminum specimen containing a cold expanded hole. The different methods show very good agreement in the magnitude of strain as well as the general trend. The conclusions obtained here are beneficial to the understanding of the phenomenon of fatigue crack initiation and growth at the perimeter of cold worked holes.

This paper is based on laser shock peening (LSP) system with a flat-topped beam, using robot simulation software to determine the oblique shock angle of different areas of a certain turbine disk mortise. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was used to study residual stress field of Ni-based alloy GH4169 under flat-topped laser oblique shocking. The effects of different laser energy and different shocking number on residual stress field of Ni-based alloy GH4169 of LSP were studied. Three-dimensional finite element analysis used super-Gaussian beam distribution to construct spatial distribution model of shock wave induced by LSP. The simulation results were in good agreement with the experimental results. The research results will provide a theoretical basis for LSP of certain turbine disk mortise.

Abstract The effects of variations in stiffness and geometry on the nonuniformity of tires are investigated by using the finite element analysis. In order to evaluate tire uniformity, a three-dimensional finite element model of the tire with imperfections is developed. This paper considers how imperfections, such as variations in stiffness or geometry and run-out, contribute to detrimental effects on tire nonuniformity. It is found that the radial force variation of a tire with imperfections depends strongly on the geometrical variations of the tire.
