Ultrasonic Impact Treatment

The ultrasonic impact treatment process is widely used to improve the fatigue life of the weldments by inducing compressive residual stresses at the sub-surface. The purpose of the article is to conduct the dynamic elastic–plastic finite element analysis of multiple impacts on 5A06 aluminum alloy with different controlled parameters. The numerical model was validated by pin drop test. The changes in penetration depth, maximum compressive residual stress, and surface residual stress were obtained by analyzing the residual stress field and equivalent plastic strain. The effect of impact times, impact velocities, pin shapes, and impact angles on the residual stress was investigated so that the ultrasonic impact treatment parameters could be controlled to obtain expected residual stress distributions.

Stress Prediction

The Mechanical Stress Improvement Process (MSIP) is generally accepted as an effective method to modify the residual stress field in a given component to mitigate subcritical crack growth in susceptible components [1] [2] [3]. In order to properly utilize MSIP, residual stress prediction is needed to determine the parameters of the MSIP application and the expected final residual stress field in the component afterwards. This paper presents the results of a 2D axisymmetric finite element study to predict weld residual stresses (WRS), and associated flaw growth scenarios, in a thick-walled pressurizer safety nozzle that underwent mitigation by application of MSIP. The authors have developed a finite-element analysis methodology to examine the effect of MSIP application on WRS and flaw growth for various hypothetical welding histories and boundary conditions in a thick-walled pressurizer safety nozzle. In doing so, a wide range of repair scenarios was considered, with the understanding that some bounding scenarios may be impractical for this geometry.

Residual Stress And Deformation

Abstract.The connection mode of reducer with straight tube on both sides are the welding connection. There are two weld at the both side of reducer and there has a great influence on residual stress and deformation in the process of welding . Based on the particularity of reducer welding, the paper is focus on the residual stress and deformation in the process of welding, using large-scale finite element analysis software ANSYS .The DN500X450 reducer model is established.The welding temperature field and residual stress field is analysis and calculation and analysis the influence on temperature and stress distribution of reducer. The results show that the maximum of the temperature and the residual stress is located in the big side and reduce the welding seam, and the obvious deformation also find in the big side and reduce joint . The reducing pipe’s distribution of temperature field and residual stress field are obtained,providing the basis to establish properly and optimize of welding process.

This paper is based on laser shock peening (LSP) system with a flat-topped beam, using robot simulation software to determine the oblique shock angle of different areas of a certain turbine disk mortise. Three-dimensional finite element analysis was used to study residual stress field of Ni-based alloy GH4169 under flat-topped laser oblique shocking. The effects of different laser energy and different shocking number on residual stress field of Ni-based alloy GH4169 of LSP were studied. Three-dimensional finite element analysis used super-Gaussian beam distribution to construct spatial distribution model of shock wave induced by LSP. The simulation results were in good agreement with the experimental results. The research results will provide a theoretical basis for LSP of certain turbine disk mortise.

Contact Fatigue Life

Railcar wheels and axles belong to the most critical components in railway vehicles. The service conditions of railway vehicles have been more severe in recent years due to speed-up. Therefore, a more precise evaluation of railcar wheel life and safety has been requested. Wheel/rail contact fatigue and thermal cracks due to braking are two major mechanisms of the railcar wheel failure. One of the main sources influencing on the contact zone failure is residual stress. The residual stress in wheels formed during heat treatment in manufacturing changes in the process of braking. Thus the fatigue life of railcar wheels should be estimated by considering both thermal stress and rolling contact. Also, the effect of residual stress variation due to manufacturing process and braking process should be included in simulating contact fatigue behavior. In this paper, an evaluation procedure for the contact fatigue life of railcar wheels considering the effects of residual stresses due to heat treatment, braking and repeated contact load is proposed. And the cyclic stressstrain history for fatigue analysis is simulated by finite element analysis for the moving contact load.
