There are various complex joints (fissures), laminae, and other soft structural surfaces in the roadway enclosure, and the existence of these soft structural surfaces seriously affects the stability of the roadway enclosure. In order to study the mechanical properties of the coal body and the development of joints during coal fracture, this paper establishes a three-dimensional model of the fracture structure of the coal body based on CT scanning and three-dimensional reconstruction technology. On this basis, a 3D numerical model of the equivalent nodal coal body is constructed, uniaxial compression simulation analysis is performed, and the joint evolution development law of the coal sample is studied by the built-in joint monitoring program of PFC3D. The results show that the larger the effective joint area and larger the joint size inside the coal sample, the smaller the compressive strength of the coal sample. The increase of joint size and joint surface area increased the ductility and stress-strain curve multipeak phenomenon of the coal sample to some extent. During the rupture of the coal sample, the changes of each phase of the statistical curve of joint number and the phases of the stress-strain curve of the coal sample are compatible.

Abstract We have investigated a relation between micromechanical processes and the stress-strain curve of a dry fiber network during tensile loading. By using a detailed particle-level simulation tool we investigate, among other things, the impact of “non-traditional” bonding parameters, such as compliance of bonding regions, work of separation and the actual number of effective bonds. This is probably the first three-dimensional model which is capable of simulating the fracture process of paper accounting for nonlinearities at the fiber level and bond failures. The failure behavior of the network considered in the study could be changed significantly by relatively small changes in bond strength, as compared to the scatter in bonding data found in the literature. We have identified that compliance of the bonding regions has a significant impact on network strength. By comparing networks with weak and strong bonds, we concluded that large local strains are the precursors of bond failures and not the other way around.

Cyclic stress-strain curve and cyclic strain-life curve appear distinct scatters, and the scatter of fatigue life increases with reducing of the strain levels. A methodology for reliability simulation of low cycle fatigue (LCF) life for turbine disk structures is developed in this paper. First, probabilistic cyclic stress-strain model and linear heteroscedastic probabilistic cyclic strain-life model are founded based on the fatigue test data. Second, three dimensional model of a turbine disk is built, and the fatigue reliability analysis of this turbine disk is implemented in probabilistic design module (PDS) of ANSYS by the combination of response surface method (RSM) and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS). The predicted life with reliability 0.9987 is well consistent with the technology life obtained from disks LCF tests by scatter factors method.

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.

This paper presents a new experimental test for determining the stress–strain curve and the fracture toughness of sheets to be used in sheet-bulk metal forming (SBMF) applications. The test is based on the utilization of double-notched specimens loaded in shear and combines the plane stress loading conditions of sheet metal forming with the three-dimensional plastic flow conditions of bulk metal forming, which are commonly found in SBMF processes. The methodology to obtain the stress–strain curve involves calculation of the shear stresses and strains along the two symmetric plastic shear zones of the test specimens up to point where cracks start to propagate along the ligaments that connect each pair of opposite notches. The determination of fracture toughness involves characterization of the evolution of load with displacement for a number of test cases performed with specimens having different ligaments between the two symmetric opposite notches. The work is performed on aluminium alloy EN AW 5754 H111 sheets with 5 mm thickness and the results obtained by means of the new proposed test are compared against those from conventional mechanical and fracture characterization tests.

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.

The present study deals with the extended version of our previous research work. In this article, for predicting the entire weld bead geometry and engineering stress–strain curve of the cold metal transfer (CMT) weldment, a MATLAB based application window (second version) is developed with certain modifications. In the first version, for predicting the entire weld bead geometry, apart from weld bead characteristics, x and y coordinates (24 from each) of the extracted points are considered. Finally, in the first version, 53 output values (five for weld bead characteristics and 48 for x and y coordinates) are predicted using both multiple regression analysis (MRA) and adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) technique to get an idea related to the complete weld bead geometry without performing the actual welding process. The obtained weld bead shapes using both the techniques are compared with the experimentally obtained bead shapes. Based on the results obtained from the first version and the knowledge acquired from literature, the complete shape of weld bead obtained using ANFIS is in good agreement with the experimentally obtained weld bead shape. This motivated us to adopt a hybrid technique known as ANFIS (combined artificial neural network and fuzzy features) alone in this paper for predicting the weld bead shape and engineering stress–strain curve of the welded joint. In the present study, an attempt is made to evaluate the accuracy of the prediction when the number of trials is reduced to half and increasing the number of data points from the macrograph to twice. Complete weld bead geometry and the engineering stress–strain curves were predicted against the input welding parameters (welding current and welding speed), fed by the user in the MATLAB application window. Finally, the entire weld bead geometries were predicted by both the first and the second version are compared and validated with the experimentally obtained weld bead shapes. The similar procedure was followed for predicting the engineering stress–strain curve to compare with experimental outcomes.

Three different definitions of the yield point have been used in experimental work on the yield locus: proportional limit, proof strain and the ‘yield point’ by backward extrapolation. The theoretical implications of the ‘yield point’ by backward extrapolation are examined in an analysis of the loading and re-loading stress paths. It is shown, in connection with experimental results by Miastkowski and Szczepinski, that the proportional limit found by inspection is in fact a point located by backward extrapolation based on a small section of the stress-strain curve, near the elastic portion of the curve. The effect of different definitions of the yield point on the shape of the yield locus and some considerations for the choice between them are discussed.
