This work studied the effects of holes on the buckling characteristic of an open thin-walled lipped channel beam under a bending load. A nonlinear finite element method was utilised to examine the buckling behaviour of the beam. Experimental works were carried out to verify the finite element simulation. Three factors were chosen to examine their influence on the buckling of the beam. These factors namely, the holes’ shape, perforated ratio (hole length to beam height) and spacing ratio (centre to centre distance between holes to beam height). The finite elements output was analysed by implementing the Taguchi method to distinguish the best group of three parameters collections for optimal strength of buckling. Whereas the analysis of variance technique (ANOVA) method was applied to specify the impact of each parameter on critical buckling load. Outcomes showed that the combination of parameters that gives the best buckling strength is the hole with a hexagonal shape, perforated ratio =1.7  and spacing ratio =1.3, and the holes’ shape is the most effective factor. In addition, the study demonstrated that the hole's shape factor has the greatest influence on the buckling capacity. While the perforated ratio factor is the least influential.

The objective of the research presented in this paper is to investigate the buckling behavior of a perforated thin-walled lipped channel beam subjected to combined load. A nonlinear finite element method was used to analyze the buckling behavior of the beam. Experimental tests were made to validate the finite element simulation. Three factors with three levels for each factor were chosen to examine their influence on the buckling behavior of the beam and these factors are: the shape of holes, opening ratio  and the spacing ratio of. The finite elements outcome was analyzed by using Taguchi method to identify the best set of three-parameter combinations for optimum critical buckling load. The analysis of variance technique (ANOVA) was implemented to determine the contribution of each parameter on buckling strength. Results showed that the mode of buckling failure of the perforated beam is lateral-torsional buckling and the hexagonal hole shape, =1.7 and = 1.3 were the best combination of parameters that gives the best buckling strength. The results also showed that the shape of holes is the most influential on buckling behavior of the perforated beam for this case of loading.

The formation of chips in cutting processes is characterised by large deformations and large configurational changes and therefore challenges established modeling techniques. To overcome these difficulties, the particle finite element method (PFEM) combines the benefits of discrete modeling techniques with methods based on continuum mechanics. In this work an outline of the PFEM, as well as an explanation of the finite element formulation are provided. The impact of the boundary detection on the structural integrity is studied. The numerical examples include a tensile test as well as cutting simulations. The paper is concluded by a comparison of cutting forces with analytical results.

Due to strain-induced martensitic transformation (SIMT), the strength, ductility and toughness of TRIP steel are enhanced. The impact deformation behavior of TRIP steel is very important because it is investigated to apply it for the shock absorption member in automobile industries. However, its behavior is still unclear since it is quite difficult to capture the transformation behavior inside the materials. There are some opinions that the deformation characteristics are not mainly depending on the martensitic transformation due to heat generation by plastic work. Here, the impact compressive deformation behavior of TRIP steel is experimentally studied by Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) method at room temperature. In order to catch SIMT behavior during impact deformation, volume resistivity is measured and a transient temperature is captured by using a quite thin thermocouple. Then, a finite element simulation with the constitutive model for TRIP steel is performed. The finite element equation can be derived from the rate form of principle of virtual work based on the implicit time integration scheme. Finally, the results between the computation and experiment are compared to confirm the validity of computational model.

The river dam intends to build at 280m downstream of a built bridge. This paper, using ANSYS finite element software, establishes a rational and realistic model to analyze the influence of the reservoir construction on the thin-walled hollow pier of built bridge. The variation of the stress of the bridge thin-walled hollow pier before and after impounding of the reservoir is given out, which can be as a guidance for future reinforcing the thin-walled hollow pier.

This paper describes an extension to a computer simulation of solid fracture. In the original model, rigid elements are assembled into a simulated solid by "gluing" the elements together with compliant boundaries which fracture when the tensile strength of the glued joints is exceeded. The current extension applies portions of the finite element technique to allow changes in the shapes of elements. This is implemented at the element level and no global stiffness matrix is assembled; instead, the elements interact across the same compliant boundaries used in the rigid element simulation. As a result, the simulated material can conform to any desired shape and thus can handle large elastic and plastic deformation. This model is intended to study the propagation of multitudinous cracks through simulated solids to aid the understanding of problems such as the impact-induced fragmentation of particles.

AbstractThe problem considered in this work is the development of simulation method for simulating car crash which utilizes simple car—impact attenuator model developed in MATLAB. Usually, car crash simulation is done using full finite element simulation which could take hours or days depending on the model size. The purpose of proposed method is to achieve quick results on the car crash simulation. Past works which utilizes simple car—impact attenuator model to simulate car crash use continuous time model and the impact attenuator parameter is obtained from the experimental results. Different from the related works, this work uses discrete time model, and the impact attenuator parameter is obtained from finite element simulation. Therefore, the proposed simulation method is not only achieving quick simulation results but also minimizing the cost and time in obtaining the impact attenuator parameter. The proposed method is suitable for parametric study of impact attenuator.
