The finite element analysis (FEA) of porous NiTi shape memory alloys (SMAs) remains a challenge due to irregularity and complexity of pore structure. In this paper, the real finite element model (FEM) is established based on the geometrical reconstruction. Through a SMA constitutive model, the mechanical behavior and stress-induced martensitic (SIM) phase transformation are analyzed with the real FEM. The results show that the stress–strain curve of FEA is in good agreement with the experimental curve and the calculation can reflect the mechanical behavior well in the compressive process. With the increase of load, the SIM first appears pore walls or weak parts of struts, then spreads to the center of matrix, and finally happens to most of matrix. When the slope of the stress–strain curve shows obvious changes, the SIM has happened in quite a part of matrix.

The service life of critical aerospace components is governed by the modes of degradation and failure such as: yielding, fatigue, fracture, creep, corrosion, wear, etc. A single disc is used for over-speed and burst-speed tests to know the growths (plastic deformation). In this paper, a cyclic symmetry sector of disc model with non linear elastic-plastic material is considered. A non-linear finite element method is utilized to determine the stress and strain state of the disc under over-speed and burst-speed conditions using material stress strain curves. Permanent growths and strains obtained from the over-speed analysis are incorporated in the burst-speed Finite element Model. The original stress strain curve used in over-speed analysis is modified with plastic strain and used in burst-speed analysis of same disc. Elastic strains obtained from the over-speed and burst-speed analysis are utilized in stress strain relationship equations to calculate the permanent growths at critical locations of disc. Growths predicted from Analysis are comparable with the experimental results of disc where a maximum variation of 11% at bore and rim of disc is observed.

Industries have shown interest in the use of dissimilar metals to make corrosion-resistant materials combined with good mechanical properties in marine environments. Explosive welding can be considered a good method for joining dissimilar materials to prevent galvanic corrosion. The aim of the present study was to simulate the non-linear behaviour of a Ti6Al4V/Inconel 625 welded joint obtained by explosion welding from the values of the tensile ultimate strength and yielding strength of the parent materials. The present study compared the stress-strain curve from tensile loading obtained by the non-linear finite element analysis with the experimental stress-strain curve of a bimetallic joint. The applied method provides useful information for the development of models and the prediction of the structural behaviour of Ti6Al4V/Inconel 625 explosive welded joints.

The process of precision forging has been developed recently because of its advantages of giving high production rates and improved strength. For complete filling up, predicting the power requirement and final shape are important features of the forging process. A finite element method is used to investigate the forging force, the final shape and the stress distribution of the parking sensor shell forging. The stress-strain curve of AL-6082 is obtained by the computerized screw universal testing machine. The friction factor between AL-6082 alloy and die material (SKD11) are determined by using ring compression test. Stress-strain curve and fiction factor are then applied to the finite element analysis of the parking sensor shell forging. Maximum forging load, effective stress distribution and shape dimensions are determined of the parking sensor shell forging, using the finite element analysis. Then the parking sensor shells are formed by the forging machine. Finally, the experimental data are compared with the results of the current simulation for the forging force and shape dimensions of the parking sensor shell.

In this study, finite element analysis was made to predict the tensile and compressive behaviors of aluminum foam material. The predicted tensile and compressive behaviors were compared with those determined from the tensile and compressive tests. X-ray imaging technique was used to determine internal structure of aluminum foam material. That is, X-ray computed tomography (CT) was used to model the porosities of the material. Three-dimensional finite element modeling was made by stacking two-dimensional tomography of aluminum foam material determined from CT images. The stackings of CT images were processed by three-dimensional modeling program. The results showed that the tensile stress-strain curve predicted from the finite element analysis was similar to that determined by the experiment. The simulated compressive stress-strain curve also showed similar tendency with that of experiment up to about 0.4 strain but exhibited a different behavior from the experimental one after 0.4 strain. The discrepancy of compressive stress-strain curves in a high strain range was associated with the contact of aluminum foam walls broken by the large deformation.

A three-dimensional atomic-scale finite element model was developed in this paper for simulation of a nano-scale uniaxial tension. First, the Morse’s potential function was used to simulate the forces acting among particles. Furthermore, a non-linear spring and dashpot element with a lumped mass was used to establish an atomic model. The elongation of the spring at fracture was used to simulate the radius of fracture of the atomic link. This method was applied to investigate the proportional tension test of an idealized FCC single crystal copper film along the x direction. The study includes the stress-strain curve, the effect of five categories of atomic distances on the stress-strain curve; and the effect of strain-rate on the stress-strain curve. The results showed that (1)the simulated maximum stress for copper is very close to 30.0GPa, which is also the value of maximum equivalent stress obtained by Lin and Hwang [6], verifying the validity of the calculation of this paper. In the tension test of copper, necking develops gradually and eventually leads to fracture. The simulated deformed material element during each stage of deformation was similar to that simulated by Komanduri et al.[2](2)the influence of =6.2608 on the five categories of atomic distance considered was limited and it may be neglected to save computation time,(3)when the strain-rate was large, the resistance to deformation was also large, leading to an increase in the yield stress and fracture stress.

Many thermomechanical reliability studies on microelectronics and microsystems have relied upon computational analysis, since experimental work is rather difficult and very time-consuming. For computational analysis, it is essential to use as input accurate material properties; if not, the results of a reliability analysis may be very inaccurate. However, it is still quite difficult to arrive at unified material properties for modeling microelectronic assemblies because of the absence of standards for micro-material characterization, the difference between bulk and in-situ material properties, and so forth. The goal of this study was to determine the uniaxial stress-strain curve of a solder in a flip-chip assembly, using experimental measurements and finite-element analysis (FEA) of the solder's thermal deformation characteristics with increasing temperature. The thermal deformation of flip-chip solder joints was measured by electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI). For the scale of evaluation required, the measurement magnification was modified to allow its application to micromaterials by using a long-working-distance microscope, iris and zoom lens. Local deformation of solder balls could be measured at submicrometer scale, and stress-strain curves could be determined using the measured thermal deformation as input data for finite-element analysis. The procedure was applied to an Sn-36Pb-2Ag flip-chip solder joint.

Thanks to its greater flexibility and biocompatibility with human tissue, superelastic NiTi alloys have taken an important part in the market of orthodontic wires. However, wire fractures and superelasticity losses are notified after a few months from being fixed in the teeth. This behavior is due to the hydrogen presence in the oral cavity, which brittles the NiTi arch wire. In this article, a diffusion-mechanical coupled model is presented while considering the hydrogen influences on the NiTi superelasticity. The model is integrated in ABAQUS finite element software via a UMAT subroutine. Additionally, a finite element model of a deflected orthodontic NiTi wire within three teeth brackets is simulated in the presence of hydrogen. The numerical results demonstrate that the force applied to the tooth drops with respect to the increase in the hydrogen amount. This behavior is attributed to the expansion of the NiTi structure after absorbing hydrogen. In addition, it is shown that hydrogen induces a loss of superelasticity. Hence, it attenuates the role of the orthodontic wire on the correction tooth malposition.
