This paper is concerned with the load-carrying capacities of a circular sandwich panel with metallic foam core subjected to quasi-static pressure loading. The analysis is performed with a newly developed yield criterion for the sandwich cross section. The large deflection response is estimated by assuming a velocity field, which is defined based on the initial velocity field and the boundary condition. A finite element simulation has been performed to validate the analytical solution for the simply supported cases. Good agreement is found between the theoretical and finite element predictions for the load-deflection response.

Geometrical Dimensions

A unified yield criterion is proposed in this paper, which is valid for the metallic sandwich sections with various core strength and geometrical dimensions and can reduce to the classical yield criteria for solid monolithic section and sandwich section with weak core, respectively. Then, the unified yield criterion is used to derive the analytical solution for the large deflection of fully clamped metallic sandwich beam subject to a transversely concentrated load, in which the interaction of bending and stretching is considered. Comparisons of the present solutions with experimental results are carried out and good agreements are found. It is seen that the axial stretching induced by large deflection has a significant effect on the deflection of sandwich structure in the post-yield regime, and the load carrying capacity of metallic foam core sandwich beam may be underestimated as the core strength is neglected in analysis.

Axial Stretching

Structural response of pin-supported metallic foam core sandwich beam is theoretically investigated. Effects of local denting and core strength and interaction of bending and axial stretching are considered in analysis. A rigid-plastic beam-on-foundation is employed to consider local denting deformation. The local denting continues during the overall deformation of sandwich beam. It is shown that upon neglecting the effect of local denting, the load-carrying capacity and energy absorption of sandwich beam may be overestimated, and the normal axial (membrane) force associated with plastic stretching substantially stiffens the sandwich beams.

The objective of this work is to study the large deflection of a pin-supported slender geometrically asymmetric metal foam core sandwich beam under transverse loading by a flat punch. Based on the yield criterion for geometrically asymmetric metal foam core sandwich structure, analytical solution for the large deflection of a pin-supported slender sandwich beam is obtained, in which the interaction of bending and stretching induced by large deflection is considered. The finite element results confirm the accuracy of the analytical solutions. The effects of asymmetric factor and boundary condition on the structural response of the asymmetric sandwich beam are discussed in detail. It is shown that the axial stretching induced by large deflection plays an important role in the load-carrying and energy absorption capacities of geometrically asymmetric sandwich structure.

The Moment

Due to thin skins and soft core, it is apt to local indentation inducing the concurrence of geometrical and material nonlinearity in sandwich structures. In the paper, finite element simulation is used to investigate the bending behavior of lightweight sandwich beams under large deflection. A modified formulation for the moment at mid-span section of sandwich beams under large deflection is presented, and energy absorption performance is assessed based on energy absorption efficiency. In addition, it is found that no local indentation arises initially, while later that increases gradually with loading displacement increasing. The height of the mid-span section as well as load-carrying capacity decreases significantly with local indentation depth increasing.

The effect of oscillation of internal pressure on the formability and shape accuracy of the products in a pulsating hydroforming process of T-shaped parts was examined by finite element simulation. The local thinning was prevented by oscillating the internal pressure. The filling ratio of the die cavity and the symmetrical degree of the filling was increased by the oscillation of pressure. The calculated deforming shape and the wall thickness are in good agreement with the experimental ones. It was found that pulsating hydroforming is useful in improving the formability and shape accuracy in the T-shape hydroforming operation.

Present work deals with evaluation of stress, deflection and dynamic properties of the folded vehicle structure. The folded vehicle in present case is a single seat vehicle intended to carry one person. Design constraints are the folded dimensions of the vehicle and the maximum vehicle speed is limited to 15m/s. Using classical calculations dimensions of the vehicle are devised. Different materials are used for seat, telescopic support and chassis of the foldable vehicle. computer aided model is prepared using CATIA software. Finite element analysis of the foldable vehicle has been carried out to evaluate the static and dynamic stresses induced in the vehicle components. Meshing of the foldable vehicle is carried using Ansys Workbench. From modal analysis six mode shapes of the foldable vehicle are formulated, corresponding frequencies and deflections are devised. Mesh generator is used to mesh the foldable vehicle. The deflection and frequency magnitudes of foldable vehicle evaluated are in good agreement with the experimental results available in literature for similar materials.

The ability to use the finite-element method to solve numerically the frequency-dependent coupled equations of the photoacoustic–thermal effect is demonstrated. Both solids and fluids are simulated by the same set of equations with temperature and displacement as variables. The main interest of this formulation lies in its great flexibility to deal with mixed fluid–solid systems. As a first application, we consider the influence of thermoacoustic coupling on the pressure in a photoacoustic cell. We show that with increasing frequency, a transition from an isothermal to an adiabatic process occurs. Subsequently, results obtained from a numerical simulation of the photoacoustic cell, which includes the effect of a residual volume, are in good agreement with existing experimental data.

In the context of automotive crash simulation, rate-dependent properties are sought for all materials undergoing deformation. Measuring rate-dependent properties of adhesively bonded joints is a challenging and associated with additional cost. This article assesses the need for having rate-dependent properties of adhesively bonded joints for the example of a typical automotive structure, an adhesively bonded metallic T-joint. Using Finite Element simulation it could be shown that good agreement between experiment and simulation was only achieved if rate-dependent properties were considered for the adhesive.
