Friction/stiction and wear are among the main issues in magnetic storage devices and microelectromechanical systems/nanoelectromechanical systems having contact interfaces. A numerical model which simulates the actual contact situations of those devices is needed to obtain optimum design parameters including materials with desired mechanical properties, layers thickness, and to predict and analyze the contact behavior of devices in operation. This study presents a first attempt to develop a numerical three-dimensional multilayered elastic–perfectly plastic rough solids model to investigate the contact behavior under combined normal loading and tangential traction. Energy method is used to formulate the problem, and variational principle in which the contact pressure distributions are those which minimize the total complementary potential energy is applied. A quasi-Newton method is used to find the minimum, and fast Fourier transform is applied to enhance the computation efficiency. In-depth analyses of the effects of friction force, layers properties, and layers thickness to contact statistics and stresses are performed. The optimum layer parameters which decrease friction/stiction and wear are investigated and identified.

The present paper provides plastic limit load solutions for axial and circumferential through-wall cracked pipes based on detailed three-dimensional (3-D) finite element (FE) limit analysis using elastic-perfectly plastic behavior. As a loading condition, both single and combined loadings are considered. Being based on detailed 3-D FE limit analysis, the present solutions are believed to be valuable information for structural integrity assessment of cracked pipes.

This paper proposes plastic limit and collapse loads for circumferential through-wall cracked pipe bends under in-plane bending, based on three-dimensional finite element limit analyses. The material is assumed to be elastic-perfectly-plastic, but both the geometrically linear (small strain) and the geometrically nonlinear (large geometry change) options are employed. Regarding crack location, both extrados and intrados cracks are considered. Moreover, for practical application, closed-form approximations of plastic limit and collapse loads are proposed based on the FE results, and compared with corresponding solutions for straight pipes.

Based on three-dimensional (3-D) FE limit analyses, this paper provides plastic limit, collapse and instability load solutions for pipe bends under combined pressure and in-plane bending. The plastic limit loads are determined from FE limit analyses based on elastic-perfectly plastic materials using the small geometry change option, and the FE limit analyses using the large geometry change option provide plastic collapse loads (using the twice-elastic-slope method) and instability loads. For the bending mode, both closing bending and opening bending are considered, and a wide range of parameters related to the bend geometry is considered. Based on the FE results, closed-form approximations of plastic limit and collapse load solutions for pipe bends under combined pressure and bending are proposed.

Explicit Expressions

Based on an existing simplified theoretical model for the normal contact interaction between two elastic-perfectly plastic spherical particles, we derived explicit expressions for the static and dynamic normal and dynamic tangential contact stiffnesses of elastic-perfectly plastic two-particle combination at pre-yield, yield, and post-yield conditions of normal loading. We used “static stiffness” or “loading stiffness” to refer to the slope of the force-displacement curve during monotonically increasing load. The “dynamic stiffness” or “unloading stiffness” refers to the stiffness that controls the speed of infinitesimal strain elastic waves propagating through the contacts. The static and dynamic contact stiffnesses are compared with numerical modeling of a two-sphere combination using the finite-element method. Furthermore, we used the explicit expressions for contact stiffnesses with the commonly used statistical averaging scheme to derive the static and dynamic effective bulk and shear moduli of a dry, random packing of identical elastic-perfectly plastic spherical particles. Elastic contact/mechanics-based effective medium models are unable to model the growth of contact area between inelastic (e.g., plastic) particles under normal force, which results in inaccurate predictions of contact stiffnesses and effective moduli. Once the particle reaches the limit of elasticity with onset of plastic deformation (yielding), further loading of two elastic-perfectly plastic spherical particles leads to a larger contact area than for two elastic particles under the same normal loading. As a result, after yielding, the dynamic effective moduli become stiffer than the corresponding moduli in the elastic case, whereas the static effective moduli remain constant, rather than increasing as in the elastic case.

The present work presents plastic limit load solutions for thin-walled branch junctions under internal pressure and in-plane bending, based on detailed three-dimensional (3-D) FE limit analyses using elastic-perfectly plastic materials. The proposed solutions are valid to ratios of the branch-to-run pipe radius and thickness from 0.0 to 1.0, and the mean radius-to-thickness ratio of the run pipe from 5.0 to 20.0. Comparison with FE results shows good agreement.

Closed‐form yield loci are proposed for branch junctions under combined pressure and in‐plane bending, via small‐strain three‐dimensional finite element (FE) limit load analyses using elastic—perfectly plastic materials. Two types of bending loading are considered: bending on the branch pipe and that on the run pipe. For bending on the run pipe, the effect of the bending direction is further considered. Comparison with extensive FE results shows that predicted limit loads using the proposed solutions are overall conservative and close to FE results. The proposed solutions are believed to be valid for the branch‐to‐run pipe ratios of radius and of thickness from 0.0 to 1.0, and the mean radius‐to‐thickness ratio of the run pipe from 5.0 to 20.0.

This paper presents limit loads for circumferential cracked pipe bends under in-plane bending, based on detailed three-dimensional finite element limit analyses. FE analyses are performed based on elastic-perfectly-plastic materials and the geometrically linear assumption. Both through-wall cracks and part-through surface cracks (having constant depths) are considered, together with different crack locations (extrados and intrados). Based on the FE results, closed-form approximations are proposed for plastic limit loads of pipe bends. It is found that limit loads of pipe bends are smaller than those of straight pipes, but are close for deep and long cracks.

Plastic Flow Rule

We consider the dynamic evolution of a linearly elastic-perfectly plastic thin plate subject to a purely vertical body load. As the thickness of the plate goes to zero, we prove that the three-dimensional evolutions converge to a solution of a certain reduced model. In the limiting model admissible displacements are of Kirchhoff–Love type. Moreover, the motion of the body is governed by an equilibrium equation for the stretching stress, a hyperbolic equation involving the vertical displacement and the bending stress, and a rate-independent plastic flow rule. Some further properties of the reduced model are also discussed.

Abstract Limit analysis is applied to obtain upper and lower bounds for the punch pressure in the indentation of the plane surface of an elastic-perfectly plastic material by a flat rigid punch. The two-dimensional flat punch and the three-dimensional flat square and rectangular punch problems are considered. The analysis assumes Tresca’s yield criterion of constant maximum shearing stress k, during plastic deformation. It is shown that the pressure required to produce indentation in the two-dimensional problem lies between 5k and (2 + π)k. The lower bound obtained for any rectangular punch is again 5k while the upper bound for a smooth punch lies between 5.71k for a square and (2 + π)k for a very long rectangle. A value of 5.36k is found for a ratio of length to breadth of 3. The limit pressure for a uniformly loaded area, as distinguished from an area loaded by a punch, is bracketed by 5k and (2 + π)k when the area is convex.
