A study on the prediction of springback angle is presented, with focus on the straight flanging operation. The objective of this work is to evaluate the reliability of different methods of prediction. An experiment of straight flanging operation is conducted. Major prediction approaches such as analytical model, numerical simulation using the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the Meshfree Method using the Reproducing Kernel Particle Methods (RKPM) are discussed. A set of sample problems is computed and comparisons are made with the experiment. The numerical analysis shows that the prediction from the 3D meshfree contact code matches well with the data from the FEM 2D solid model. A material property described by the kinematic hardening law provides a better prediction of springback than the isotropic hardening law.

Abstract There are three types of hardening laws for evaluating welding residual stress with the finite element method (FEM): kinematic hardening law, isotropic hardening law, and combined hardening law that combine these. The purpose of this paper is to investigate which hardening law is more appropriate for the evaluation of welding residual stress of alloy 82. We first performed two types of welding tests: welding both ends of a plate, and welding the periphery of a disc. We then compared the results of mock-up welding tests with the analysis results of welding residual stress with the kinematic hardening law and combined hardening law. Both the kinematic hardening law and the combined hardening law showed a welding residual stress distribution close to the results of the mock-up welding tests, but the combined hardening law tended to be closer to the mock-up results. Therefore when it is necessary to confirm the welding residual stress of alloy 82, it is considered appropriate to apply the combined hardening law.

Abstract Bend/reverse bend tests are performed with a three-point bend test apparatus on two types of sheet metals, mild steel and high strength steel. The bend/reverse bend process tends to a steady cycle upon applying repeated cycles of displacements. Strain hardening and Bauschinger effects for both materials are detected. Three different hardening laws are used to simulate the bend process numerically. Isotropic hardening law overestimates the hardening component and by missing the Bauschinger effect and the plastic shakedown. Kinematic hardening rule underestimates the hardening component and exaggerates the Bauschinger effect. The combination of isotropic and nonlinear kinematic hardening predicts accurately both the Bauschinger effect and the plastic shakedown. The hardening parameters in the combined model are identified inversely by using micro genetic algorithm.

The reproducing kernel particle method (RKPM) has attractive properties in handling high gradients, concentrated forces, and large deformations where other widely implemented methodologies fail. In the present work, a multiple field computational procedure is devised to enrich the finite element method with RKPM, and RKPM with analytical functions. The formulation includes an interaction term that accounts for any overlap between the fields, and increases the accuracy of the computational solutions in a coarse mesh or particle grid. By replacing finite element method shape Junctions at selected nodes with higher-order RKPM window functions, RKPM p-enrichment is obtained. Similarly, by adding RKPM window functions into a finite element method mesh, RKPM hp-enrichment is achieved analogous to adaptive refinement. The fundamental concepts of the multiresolution analysis are used to devise an adaptivity procedure.

Abstract In the analysis of complex phenomena of acoustic systems, the computational modeling requires special attention for a realistic representation of the physics. As a powerful tool, the finite element method has been widely used in the study of complex systems. In order to capture the important physical phenomena, p-finite elements and/or hp-finite elements are employed. The reproducing kernel particle methods (RKPM) are emerging as an effective alternative due to the elimination of a mesh, and the ability to analyze a specific frequency range. Additionally, a wavelet particle method based on the multiresolution analysis encountered in signal processing has been developed. The interpolation functions consist of spline functions with built-in window. A variation in the size of the window implies a geometrical refinement, and allows the filtering of the desired frequency range. Preliminary analysis of the wave equation shows the effectiveness of this approach. The frequency/wave number relationship of the continuum case can be closely simulated by using the reproducing kernel particle methods. A similar methodology is also developed for the Timoshenko beam.
