Tensile tests using welded joint specimens with a surface flaw were conducted in order to study the large deformation behavior and ductile fracture of welded structural component with a flaw. Two types of 490MPa class steel plates with different yield strength are prepared for this study. The surface flaw was introduced at the center of welded metal of welded joint specimen. Strain distribution during loading and the maximum strain at ductile fracture of specimen were measured in order to investigate the influence of stress-strain properties on ductile fracture behavior of the welded joint. Three dimensional elastoplastic finite element analyses were also carried out by using the welded joint specimen models in order to calculate the detailed stress and strain distributions around notch tip. In addition, a simplified analytical model to estimate fracture strain and critical flaw size of the welded joint was proposed using the stress-strain relationship combination between base material and welded metal by Swift’s equation. The results from the analytical model show fairly good agreement with experimental results.

Tensile tests using plate specimens with a surface flaw were conducted in order to study the large deformation behavior of steels with a flaw. Steels prepared for examination had tensile strengths of 470–490MPa with different stress-strain relationships. The strain distribution during loading and the maximum strain at fracture were measured in order to investigate the influence of stress-strain properties on ductile fracture. The crack shape changes during ductile crack growth were also examined and compared with empirical formulae for estimating fatigue crack shape change. In order to assess test results, three dimensional elastoplastic finite element analyses were carried out which included detailed analysis of the influence of stress-strain properties on deformation behavior. In addition, a simplified analytical model to estimate fracture strain and critical flaw size was proposed using the stress-strain relationship of Swift’s equation. The results from the model show fairly good agreement with experimental results.

AIM: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of different denture base materials on the stress distribution in TMJ articular disc (AD) in complete denture wearers.MATERIAL AND METHODS: Two three dimensional Finite Element (FEA) models of an individual temporomandibular joint (TMJ) were built on the basis CT scan. The FEA model consisted of four parts: the condyle, the articular disc, the denture base, and the articular eminence skull. Acrylic resin and chrome-cobalt denture base materials were studied. Static loading of 300N was vertically applied to the central fossa of the mandibular second premolar. Stress and strain were calculated to characterize the stress/strain patterns in the disc.RESULTS: The maximum tensile stresses were observed in the anterior and posterior bands of (AD) on load application with the two denture base materials. The superior boundaries of the glenoid fossa showed lower stress than those on the inferior boundaries facing the condyle.CONCLUSIONS: Within the limitations of the present study it may be concluded that: The denture base material may a have an effect in stress-strain pattern in TMJ articular disc. The stiffer denture base material, the better the distribution of the load to the underling mandibular supporting structures & reducing stresses induced in the articular disc.

Cruciform Joint

The objective of this research is to develop an experimental-theoretical analysis about the influence of the cooling medium and the geometry of the welding bead profile in fatigue life and associated parameters with structural integrity of welded joints. A welded joint with cruciform geometry is considered using SMAW, plates in structural steel ASTM A36 HR of 8 mm of thickness and E6013 electrode input. A three-dimensional computational model of the cruciform joint was created using the finite element method. For this model, the surface undulation of the cord and differentiation in the mechanical properties of the fusion zone were considered, the heat-affected zone (HAZ) and base material, respectively. In addition, an initial residual stress field which was established experimentally was considered. The results were a set of analytical expressions for the weld magnification factor Mk. It was found that values for the latter decrease markedly in function of the intensity of the cooling medium used in the post welding cooling phase, mainly due to the effect of the residual compressive stresses. The obtained models of behavior of the weld magnification factor are compared with the results from other researchers with some small differences, mainly due to the inclusion of the cooling effect of the post weld and the variation of the leg of the weld bead. The obtained analytical equations in the present research for Mk can be used in management models of life and structural integrity for this type of welded joint.

Processing Step

Tensile tests on smooth and notched axisymmetric specimens were carried out to determine the large strain work-hardening curves and the ductile fracture characteristics of an AA6060 aluminium alloy for three different processing routes. The alloy was processed in three subsequent steps: 1) casting and homogenization, 2) extrusion, and 3) cold rolling and heat treatment to obtain a recrystallized grain structure. After each processing step, the material was tested after natural ageing for more than one week. A laser-based extensometer was used to continuously measure the average true strains to failure in the minimum cross-section of the specimens and the true stress-strain curves were calculated. Since these curves are influenced by necking, they do not represent the correct work-hardening of the material. Accordingly, finite element (FE) simulations of the tensile tests on the smooth axisymmetric specimens were conducted to determine the work-hardening curves to failure, using an optimization tool that interfaced with the nonlinear FE code and the experimental stress-strain curves as objectives. The microstructure of the alloy was characterized after the three processing steps by optical and scanning electron microscopy, and fractography was used to investigate the failure mechanisms.

The problem of determining true stress-strain curves from flat tensile specimens beyond the onset of necking has been investigated based on finite element analyses under consideration of experimental accessible data using digital image correlation (DIC). The displacement field on the specimen surface is determined by in-situ deformation field measurement. A three-dimensional finite element study with different stress-strain-curves has been carried out to develop a formula, with which it is possible to calculate the true stress subject to the strain in the necking region. The method has been used to evaluate the true stress-strain curve with a so-called micro flat tensile specimen, which is normally used to determine the material properties in the material gradient around thin weldments.

Cover Plates

The article is devoted to the actual problem of assigning optimal parameters for connecting steel plates on cover plates with angular welds that are widely used in construction practice. The article presents the results of a comprehensive study of operation of a welded assembly of the plates connection on cover plates. An algorithm is proposed for determining the optimal parameters of a welded joint with fillet welds on the cover plates, which makes it possible to obtain a strength balanced connection. The results of full-scale tensile tests of models were presented. These results confirmed the correctness of the assumed design assumptions, and made it possible to obtain a form of destruction, not characteristic and not described in the normative literature, expressed by cutting the main elements along the length of the overlap in the joint. The possibility of such a form of destruction was confirmed by the results of numerical research in a nonlinear formulation. The optimal parameters of the nodal welded joint determined by engineering calculation are confirmed by experimental studies, as well as by the results of numerical experiments on models of calculation schemes, taking into account the physical nonlinearity of the material operation. The obtained dependence for determining the bearing capacity of the joint by the cut-off mechanism and the expression for limiting the overlap length of the cover plates will make it possible to predict the nature of the fracture and design equally strong joints.

In this research contribution, the static behavior and failure mechanisms are developed for a three-dimensional (3D) printed dogbone, auxetic structure and sandwich composite using acoustic emissions (AEs). The skins, core and whole sandwich are manufactured using the same bio-based material which is polylactic acid reinforced with micro-flax fibers. Tensile tests are conducted on the skins and the core while bending tests are conducted on the sandwich composite. Those tests are carried out on four different auxetic densities in order to investigate their effect on the mechanical and damage properties of the materials. To monitor the invisible damage and damage propagation, a highly sensitive AE testing method is used. It is found that the sandwich with high core density displays advanced mechanical properties in terms of bending stiffness, shear stiffness, facing bending stress and core shear stress. In addition, the AE data points during testing present an amplitude range of 40–85[Formula: see text]dB that characterizes visible and invisible damage up to failure.
