Chaboche Model

This paper builds on PVP2013-98150 by Kalnins, Rudolph, and Willuweit [1], which documented two calibration processes for determining the parameters of the Chaboche nonlinear kinematic hardening (NLK) material model for stainless steel, and tested the material model using a pressurized cylindrical shell subjected to thermal cycling. The current paper examines (1) whether a Chaboche NLK model with only two terms (rather than four as in PVP-98150) is sufficiently accurate, (2) use of the ANSYS program for material model refinement and finite element analysis, and (3) analysis using temperature-dependent NLK model parameters, again using ANSYS.

Chaboche Model

Ratcheting failure of materials and structures subjected to low cycle fatigue in the presence of significant mean stress is of great interest to researchers. In this experimental and numerical study, the response of 316L stainless steel samples was observed in symmetric strain control uniaxial test followed by post-stabilized monotonic test, uniaxial and biaxial ratcheting tests, in order to determine the Chaboche model parameters and to evaluate ratcheting prediction using finite element analysis. The critical elastic limit was initially obtained from incremental uniaxial cyclic tests. The Chaboche parameters were subsequently extracted from experimental hysteresis and post-stabilized monotonic stress plastic-strain curves using two optimization technics, namely, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA). The two optimization methods were compared for efficiency, in terms of time and accuracy. The PSO method presented higher efficient results and was subsequently used to derive the parameters from hysteresis and post-stabilized monotonic curves. Different values (by definition) of elastic limit were also used. The Finite Element commercial software ANSYS was utilized with the Chaboche model to predict the uniaxial and biaxial ratcheting behavior of 316L stainless steel pipe. The comparison between experimental and the numerical simulation demonstrates that adopting post-stabilized monotonic curve rather than hysteresis curve and with accurate elastic limit obtained from incremental loading test improves ratcheting prediction significantly.

Increasing Temperature

As a safety device, a rupture disc instantly bursts as a nonreclosing pressure relief component to minimize the explosion risk once the internal pressure of vessels or pipes exceeds a critical level. In this study, the influence of temperature on the ultimate burst pressure of domed rupture discs made of 316L austenitic stainless steel was experimentally investigated and assessed with finite element analysis. Experimental results showed that the ultimate burst pressure gradually reduced from 6.88 MPa to 5.24 MPa with increasing temperature from 300 K to 573 K, which are consistent with the predicted instability pressures acquired by nonlinear buckling analysis using ABAQUS software. Additionally, it was found that a gradual transition from opening ductile mode to cleavage mode happened with increasing temperature due to more cross slips occurring under serious plastic deformation. The equivalent stress, equivalent strain and strain hardening rates acquired by static analysis were effective at rationalizing the temperature-dependent fracture behavior of the domed rupture discs.

Abstract It is a challenging task in the design of automobile tires to predict lifetime and performance on the basis of numerical simulations. Several factors have to be taken into account to correctly estimate the aging behavior. This paper focuses on oxygen reaction processes which, apart from mechanical and thermal aspects, effect the tire durability. The material parameters needed to describe the temperature-dependent oxygen diffusion and reaction processes are derived by means of the time–temperature–superposition principle from modulus profiling tests. These experiments are designed to examine the diffusion-limited oxidation (DLO) effect which occurs when accelerated aging tests are performed. For the cord-reinforced rubber composites, homogenization techniques are adopted to obtain effective material parameters (diffusivities and reaction constants). The selection and arrangement of rubber components influence the temperature distribution and the oxygen penetration depth which impact tire durability. The goal of this paper is to establish a finite element analysis based criterion to predict lifetime with respect to oxidative aging. The finite element analysis is carried out in three stages. First the heat generation rate distribution is calculated using a viscoelastic material model. Then the temperature distribution can be determined. In the third step we evaluate the oxygen distribution or rather the oxygen consumption rate, which is a measure for the tire lifetime. Thus, the aging behavior of different kinds of tires can be compared. Numerical examples show how diffusivities, reaction coefficients, and temperature influence the durability of different tire parts. It is found that due to the DLO effect, some interior parts may age slower even if the temperature is increased.

Strain Evolution

One of the most important components in the hydraulic fracturing is a type of positive-displacement-reciprocating-pumps known as a fracture pump. The fluid end module of the pump is prone to failure due to unconventional drilling impacts of the fracking. The basis of the fluid end module can be attributed to cross bores. Stress concentration locations appear at the bores intersections and as a result of cyclic pressures failures occur. Autofrettage is one of the common technologies to enhance the fatigue resistance of the fluid end module through imposing the compressive residual stresses. However, evaluating the stress–strain evolution during the autofrettage and approximating the residual stresses are vital factors. Fluid end module geometry is complex and there is no straightforward analytical solution for prediction of the residual stresses induced by autofrettage. Finite element analysis (FEA) can be applied to simulate the autofrettage and investigate the stress–strain evolution and residual stress fields. Therefore, a nonlinear kinematic hardening material model was developed and calibrated to simulate the autofrettage process on a typical commercial triplex fluid end module. Moreover, the results were compared to a linear kinematic hardening model and a 6–12% difference between two models was observed for compressive residual hoop stress at different cross bore corners. However, implementing nonlinear FEA for solving the complicated problems is computationally expensive and time-consuming. Thus, the comparison between nonlinear FEA and a proposed analytical formula based on the notch strain analysis for a cross bore was performed and the accuracy of the analytical model was evaluated.

Strain Data

A project has been conducted to verify a finite element analysis procedure for studying the nonlinear behavior of 90°, stainless steel, 4 inch schedule 10, butt welding elbows. Two displacement controlled monotonic in-plane tests were conducted, one closing and one opening, and the loads, displacements, and strains at several locations were recorded. Stacked 90° tee rosette gages were used in both tests because of their ability to measure strain over a small area. ANSYS shell element 181 was used in the FEA reconciliations. The FEA models incorporated detailed geometric measurements of the specimens, including the welds, and material stress-strain data obtained from the attached straight piping. Initially, a mesh consisting of sixteen elements arrayed in 8 rings was used to analyze the elbow. The load-displacement correlation was quite good using this mesh, but the strain reconciliation was not. Analysis of the FEA results indicated that the axial and hoop strain gradients across the mid-section of the elbow were very high. In order to generate better strain correlations, the elbow mesh was refined in the mid-section of the elbow to include 48 elements per ring and an additional six rings, effectively increasing the element density by nine times. Using the refined mesh produced much better correlations with the strain data.

This paper discusses the behaviour of hollow tubes with axisymmetric internal projections subjected to combined axial and internal pressure loading. Predictions from an extensive elastic and elastic-plastic finite element analysis are presented for a typical geometry and a range of loading combinations, using a simplified bilinear elastic-perfectly plastic material model. The axial loading case, previously analysed, is extended to cover the additional effect of internal pressure. All the predicted stress and strain data are found to depend on the applied loading conditions. The results are normalized with respect to material properties and can therefore be applied to geometrically similar components made from other materials, which can be represented by the same material models.
