Abstract With the rapid development of electric vehicle industry, more and more attention has been paid to the safety of the automotive battery. The safety of battery in electric vehicle’s frontal collision is the focus of this paper. In the process of simulated collision, the research object is simplified into a battery box. The mechanical properties of the battery monomers were investigated to summarize the mechanical properties of the internal failure of the monomers. Constructing the finite element model of the research object, we focus on the analysis of collision simulation results and propose the improvement measures. According to the test requirements in C-NCAP, the crash simulation of battery box is carried out by using the finite element software called LS-DYNA, which is used in automobile collision to analyze the deformation, stress of the battery box and the most dangerous battery monomer during the frontal collision. The simulation results show that the deformation of the case is obvious, and the protection of the battery is lost in the 50km/h frontal collision condition. By adding EVA foam, the maximum deformation of the battery monomer is reduced by 8.2%. By improving the material of battery case, the maximum deformation is reduced by 12.65%.

In this paper, we establish the mechanical property analysis of Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs) modified beam element model based on the molecular structural mechanics method. Then we study the mechanical properties of their radial direction characteristics using the finite element software Abaqus. The model simulated the different bending stiffness with rectangular section beam elements C-C chemical force field. When the graphene curled into arbitrary chirality of SWCNTs spatial structure, the adjacent beam position will change the moment of inertia of the section of the beam. Compared with the original beam element model and the calculation results, we found that the established model largely reduced the overestimate of the original model of mechanical properties on the radial direction of the SWCNTs. At the same time, compared with other methods available in the literature results and the experimental data, the results can be in good agreement.

Sprocket has an important role in improving the transport performance and life of the armoured face conveyor, which is the key component in the transmission system of armoured face conveyor (AFC). In this paper, true stress-true strain curves of materials of the sprocket and the ring chain are obtained by computing the data of static tensile test. A simplified symmetric finite element contact model is established based on the nonlinear finite element software ABAQUS. Stress field and torsional stiffness coefficient of the sprocket are calculated according to loads and boundary conditions. Simulation results are in good accordance with the test results. The finite element model and the simulation results provide useful guidance for design and test of the sprocket. Meanwhile, accurate torsional stiffness coefficient of the sprocket is obtained for simulation of the transmission system of AFC.

The Cross

As for 2.5-D layer-to-layer angle interlock braided composites, the cross section of the warp tow was represented in double-convex lens form, and the center line of the warp tow was along the sinusoid. The arranging characteristic of weft tow fibers along the cross section outline of the longitude fibers was studied in detail. A novel finite element model for 2.5-D braided composites was established to predict elastic modulus. The finite element software ANSYS was adopted to study the mechanical properties of the model and presented its stress nephogram, and the influence of the braided structure parameters on the elastic modulus of this material was analyzed in detail. To validate this model, qualified experimental samples were made by VARTM technique, and then tensile tests were performed to determine the mechanical properties. The results show that the conclusions of finite element method (FEM) fit well with the experimental values, and this model can be used to predict effectively the macro modulus of 2.5-D braided composites.

A finite element model is proposed to investigate the effect of thickness differential on Limiting Dome Height (LDH) testing of aluminum tailor-welded blanks. The numerical model is validated via comparison of the equivalent plastic strain and displacement distribution between the simulation results and the experimental data. The normalized equivalent plastic strain and normalized LDH values are proposed as a means of quantifying the influence of thickness differential for a variety of different ratios. Increasing thickness differential was found to decrease the normalized equivalent plastic strain and normalized LDH values, this providing an evaluation of blank formability.

Stress Changes

Dissimilar metal welded joints (DMWJs) possess significant localized mechanical heterogeneity. Using finite element software ABAQUS with the User-defined Material (UMAT) subroutine, this study proposed a constitutive equation that may be used to express the heterogeneous mechanical properties of the heat-affected and fusion zones at the interfaces in DMWJs. By eliminating sudden stress changes at the material interfaces, the proposed approach provides a more realistic and accurate characterization of the mechanical heterogeneity in the local regions of DMWJs than existing methods. As such, the proposed approach enables the structural integrity of DMWJs to be analyzed in greater detail.

Abstract This work evaluates and revisits elements from the depth-sensing indentation literature by means of carefully chosen practical indentation cases, simulated numerically and compared to experiments. The aim is to close a series of debated subjects, which constitute major sources of inaccuracies in the evaluation of depth-sensing indentation data in practice. Firstly, own examples and references from the literature are presented in order to demonstrate how crucial self-similarity detection and blunting distance compensation are, for establishing a rigorous link between experiments and simple sharp-indenter models. Moreover, it is demonstrated, once again, in terms of clear and practical examples, that no more than two parameters are necessary to achieve an excellent match between a sharp indenter finite element simulation and experimental force-displacement data. The clear conclusion is that reverse analysis methods promising to deliver a set of three unique material parameters from depth-sensing indentation cannot be reliable. Lastly, in light of the broad availability of modern finite element software, we also suggest to avoid the rigid indenter approximation, as it is shown to lead to unnecessary inaccuracies. All conclusions from the critical literature review performed lead to a new semi-analytical reverse analysis method, based on available dimensionless functions from the literature and a calibration against case specific finite element simulations. Implementations of the finite element model employed are released as supplementary material, for two major finite element software packages.

Thanks to its greater flexibility and biocompatibility with human tissue, superelastic NiTi alloys have taken an important part in the market of orthodontic wires. However, wire fractures and superelasticity losses are notified after a few months from being fixed in the teeth. This behavior is due to the hydrogen presence in the oral cavity, which brittles the NiTi arch wire. In this article, a diffusion-mechanical coupled model is presented while considering the hydrogen influences on the NiTi superelasticity. The model is integrated in ABAQUS finite element software via a UMAT subroutine. Additionally, a finite element model of a deflected orthodontic NiTi wire within three teeth brackets is simulated in the presence of hydrogen. The numerical results demonstrate that the force applied to the tooth drops with respect to the increase in the hydrogen amount. This behavior is attributed to the expansion of the NiTi structure after absorbing hydrogen. In addition, it is shown that hydrogen induces a loss of superelasticity. Hence, it attenuates the role of the orthodontic wire on the correction tooth malposition.
