Finite Element Calculations

A “two-body,” elasto-plastic finite element model is employed to simulate repeated rolling contact in the presence of a surface irregularity. It is shown that the maximum Mises stress and equivalent plastic strain values in the substrate are related to the height of the pressure spikes. The results of the finite element calculations are used to derive generalizations about the influence of the indent geometry on the pressure spikes, peak cyclic plastic strains and their location below the surface. These relations can serve as guidelines for designing the depth and properties of surface coatings and modified layers.

Simulation Results

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.

Elastic Perfectly Plastic

The present paper, describes a transient translating elasto-plastic thermo-mechanical finite element model to study 2-D frictional rolling contact. Frictional two-dimensional contact is simulated by repeatedly translating a non-uniform thermo-mechanical distribution across the surface of an elasto-plastic half space. The half space is represented by a two dimensional finite element mesh with appropriate boundaries. Calculations are for an elastic-perfectly plastic material and the selected thermo-physical properties are assumed to be temperature independent. The paper presents temperature variations, stress and plastic strain distributions and deformations. Residual tensile stresses are observed. The magnitude and depth of these stresses depends on 1) the temperature gradients and 2) the magnitudes of the normal and tangential tractions.

Residual Problem

A direct approach for elastic-plastic analysis and shakedown is presented and its application to a two-dimensional rolling contact problem is demonstrated. The direct approach consists of an operator split technique, which transforms the elastic-plastic problem into a purely elastic problem and a residual problem with prescribed eigenstrains. The eigenstrains are determined using an incremental projection method which is valid for nonproportional loading and both elastic and plastic shakedown. The residual problem is solved analytically and also by using a finite element procedure which can be readily generalized to more difficult problems such as three-dimensional rolling point contact. The direct analysis employs linear-kinematic-hardening plastic behavior and thus either elastic or plastic shakedown is assured, however, the phenomenon of ratchetting which can lead to incremental collapse, cannot be treated within the present framework. Results are compared with full elastic-plastic finite element calculations and a step-by-step numerical scheme for elastic-plastic analysis. Good agreement between the methods is observed. Furthermore, the direct method results in substantial savings in computational effort over full elastic-plastic finite element calculations and is shown to be a straightforward and efficient method for obtaining the steady state (shakedown) solution in the analysis of rolling and/or sliding contact.

The self-similar isotropic hardening model developed by Deshpande and Fleck has been widely used. An important issue in this model is to determine the value of ellipticity. The ellipticity was treated as a constant in the subsequent yield, but different values were suggested in the literature. In this paper a cell-based finite element model based on the 3D Voronoi technique is used to verify the Deshpande-Fleck foam model. It is found that the ellipticity determined from uniaxial and hydrostatic compressions varies with the equivalent plastic strain.

Chip Geometry

A finite element model of orthogonal metal cutting is described. The paper introduces a new chip separation criterion based on the effective plastic strain in the workpiece. Several cutting parameters that are often neglected in simplified metal-cutting models are included, such as elastic-plastic material properties of both the workpiece and tool, friction along the tool rake face, and geometry of the cutting edge and workpiece. The model predicts chip geometry, residual stresses in the workpiece, and tool stresses and forces, without any reliance on empirical metal cutting data. The paper demonstrates that use of a chip separation criterion based on effective plastic strain is essential in predicting chip geometry and residual stresses with the finite element method.

Classical beam models do not account for partial restraint of anticlastic bending and are therefore inherently inaccurate. This article proposes a modification of the exact Bernoulli–Euler equation which allows for an exact prediction of the beam's deflection without the need of two-dimensional finite element calculations. This approach offers a substantial reduction in the computational effort, especially when coupled with a fast-solving schema like the circle-arc method. Besides the description of the new method and its validation, this article offers an insight into the somewhat disregarded topic of anticlastic bending by a short review of the published theories and a selection of representative numerical results.

A numerical study based on a two-dimensional finite element model has been conducted to analyze flow conditions associated with different possible designs for the reopening of Havre aux Basques lagoon, located in Îles de la Madeleine, in the middle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. More specifically, the study has been done to better define the depth and geometry of the future channel as well as its orientation with regard to tidal flows within the inlet and the lagoon. Results obtained from the model have been compared and analyzed to put forward some recommendations about choice of a design insuring the stability of the inlet with tidal flows. Key words: numerical model, finite element, lagoon, reopening, Havre aux Basques, Îles de la Madeleine.
