This work is devoted to the research of mechanical and strength properties of polymer composite material with short carbon fibers produced by injection molding technology. The material is PEEK90HMF20 with 20 % of carbon fibers mass fraction and based on polyether ether ketone (PEEK) polymer matrix. Mechanical and strength properties were researched on samples that had been cut from molded plates. A set of tension tests was performed and stress-strain diagrams of samples with different orientation in relation to the global direction of injection were obtained. Two-step homogenization procedure and pseudo-grains failure model were used to describe composite material behavior. The material model parameters were calibrated with experimental data by means of reverse-engineering procedure. Finite element simulation of tension tests was performed to check the quality of built model from the point of view of its ability to predict failure.

Fracture toughness of ferritic steel in the ductile-to-brittle transition zone is scattered and probabilistic owing to embrittlement. Use of master curve along with the reference temperature ( T0) adopted in ASTM E-1921 is widely accepted for characterization of this embrittlement. Reference temperature is a measure of embrittlement in the temperature scale. Factors affecting fracture toughness like geometry and loading rate are expected to influence the reference temperature. In the present study, the role of the loading rate on the reference temperature for 20MnMoNi55 steel is assessed experimentally using compact tension C(T) and three-point bend (TPB) specimens. Finite element simulation of tests at different loading rates and cryogenic temperature are carried out using a suitable viscoplastic material model that incorporates flow characteristics of the material for varying displacement rates and cryogenic temperatures. Results from simulation studies are compared with experimental ones.

Improved Model

This paper provides a comprehensive assessment on some commonly used thermo-viscoplastic constitutive models of metallic materials during severe plastic deformation at high-strain rates. An hcp model previously established by us was improved in this paper to enhance its predictability by incorporating the key saturation characteristic of strain hardening. A compensation-based stress-updating algorithm was also developed to introduce the new hcp model into a finite element program. The improved model with the developed algorithm was then applied in finite element simulation to investigate the high-speed machining of Ti6Al4V. It was found that by using different material models, the simulated results of cutting forces, serrated chip morphologies, and residual stresses can be different too and that the improved model proposed in this paper can be applied to simulate the titanium alloy machining process more reliably due to its physical basis when compared with some other empirical Johnson–Cook models.

Reinforced Composite Material

Finite-element simulation of the spatially reinforced composite material elastic properties is performed. The simulation models are built in two steps: first, a 4DL-reinforced material model simulating a perfect matrix/rod contact is built; second, an improved simulation model is developed, taking into account the possibility of separation between the composite components. Comparison is made between the results obtained numerically and those based on the existing analytical models. With these finite-element simulation models, it is possible to estimate the required composite elastic properties to be used when designing structural components based on those materials.
