In this paper, we present a simple and accurate model for the normal force-displacement (NFD) relation for contacting spherical particles, accounting for the effects of plastic deformation. This NFD model, based on the formalism of the continuum theory of elastoplasticity, is to be used in granular flow simulations involving thousands of particles; the efficiency of the model is thus a crucial property. The accuracy of the model allows for an accurate prediction of the contact force level in the plastic regime. In addition to being more accurate than previously proposed NFD models, the proposed NFD model also leads to more accurate coefficient of restitution that is a function of the approaching velocity of two particles in collision. The novelty of the present NFD model is the additive decomposition of the contact-area radius, and the correction of the curvature of the particles at the contact point due to plastic flow. The accuracy of the proposed model is validated against nonlinear finite element results involving plastic flow in both loading and unloading conditions. [S0021-8936(00)03102-0]

Joining of metals in explosive welding takes place as a result of their plastic deformation during a high speed collision and is usually accompanied by typical formation of waves at the interface. In welding aluminium, the weld boundary can also be straight if the speed of the contact point is νc is ≤ 1900 m/s. These welding conditions make it possible to prevent melting of the metal at the interface and increase at the same time its corrosion resistance. In this article, the effect of the dynamic collision angle on the special features of plastic flow of the metal in the vicinity of the contact boundary in welding sheets of AS5 aluminium is described.

New representations concerning plasticity physics in crystals are discussed. The model of plastic flow is suggested, which can describe its main regularities. With the use of the experimental investigation, it is shown that the plastic flow localization plays the role in the evolution of plastic deformation. Obtained data are explained with the application of the principles of nonequilibrium-systems’ theory. The quasi-particle is introduced for the description of plasticity phenomenon. It is established the relation between plasticity characteristics of metals and their position in Periodic table of the elements. A new model is elaborated to address localized plastic-flow evolution in solids. The basic assumption of the proposed model is that the elementary plasticity acts evolving in the deforming of medium would generate acoustic emission pulses, which interact with the plasticity carriers and initiate new elementary shears. As found experimentally, the macrolocalization of plastic flow involves a variety of autowave processes. To address the phenomenon of localized plastic-flow autowaves, a new quasi-particle called ‘autolocalizon’ is introduced; the criterion of validity of the concept is assessed.

Formulae have been obtained that are necessary to calculate cumulative deformation in the process of straitened extrusion in the central area closed to the working end of the counterpunch. The general method of plastic flow proposed by A. L. Vorontsov was used. The obtained formulae allow one to determine the deformed state of a billet in any point of the given area. The formulae should be used to take into account the strengthening of the extruded material.

Rock yielding may well take place during hydraulic fracturing in deep reservoirs. The prevailing models based on the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) are incapable of describing the evolution process of hydraulic fractures accurately. In this paper, a hydro-elasto-plastic model is proposed to investigate the hydraulic fracture propagation in deep reservoirs. The Drucker–Prager plasticity model, Darcy’s law, cubic law and cohesive zone model are employed to describe the plastic deformation, matrix flow, fracture flow and evolution of hydraulic fractures, respectively. Combining the embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM), extended finite element method (XFEM) and finite volume method, a hybrid numerical scheme is presented to carry out simulations. A dual-layer iterative procedure is developed based on the fixed-stress split method, Picard iterative method and Newton–Raphson iterative method. The iterative procedure is used to deal with the coupling between nonlinear deformation with fracture extension and fluid flow. The proposed model is verified against analytical solutions and other numerical simulation results. A series of numerical cases are performed to investigate the influences of rock plasticity, internal friction angle, dilatancy angle and permeability on hydraulic fracture propagation. Finally, the proposed model is extended to simulate multiple hydraulic fracture propagation. The result shows that plastic deformation can enhance the stress-shadowing effect.

The paper aims the determination of the friction force by means of external friction stress, at the severe plastic deformation processing using cyclic closed-die forging method. It is known that the total force used at the severe plastic deformation by the method of multiaxial forging is being composed by the deformation force itself and the friction force between the semi-product and the deformation tools. Once the friction stresses known, for a certain material, one can determine the friction force corresponding for a given deformation of a semi-product of a particular shape and sizes. By means of the flowing curve of the semi-product material one can determine the deformation force, which together with the friction force give the total necessary force for a deformation and so one can choose the necessary equipment for the processing of the material by severe plastic deformation. For this purpose it has been severely plastic deformed by the method of multiaxial forging, a semi-product having the sizes 10x10x20 mm, the finished part having the same sizes and shape. It has been measured the deformation force and the extraction force of the finished part from the cavity of the active plate, the late being used for the determination of the friction stress between the semi-product and the active plate.

A calculation method of wheel-rail multi-point contact based on the elastic contact model is introduced. Moreover, the simulation calculation of vehicles passing through branch lines of No.18 turnouts is carried out. The result showed that the acute change of wheel-rail normal force caused by the transfers of wheel-rail contact point between two rails can be avoid by wheel-rail multi-point contact method, and the transfers of wheel-rail normal force between two rails is smoother. The validity of wheel-rail multi-point contact method is verified.

Experiments reveal that mechanical behavior of nanostructures is size-dependent. Herein, the size dependent pull-in instability of torsional nano-mirror is investigated using strain gradient nonclassic continuum theory. The governing equation of the mirror is derived taking the effect of electrostatic Coulomb and molecular van der Waals (vdW) forces into account. Variation of the rotation angle of the mirror as a function of the applied voltage is obtained and the instability parameters i.e., pull-in voltage and pull-in angle are determined. Nano-mirrors with square and circular cross-sectional beams are investigated as case studies. It is found that when the thickness of the torsional nano-beam is comparable with the intrinsic material length scales, size effect can substantially increase the instability parameters of the rotational mirror. Moreover, the effect of vdW forces on the size-dependent pull-in instability of the system is discussed. The proposed model is able to predict the experimental results more accurately than the previous classic models and reduce the gap between experiment and previous theories.
