In this work, we compare the experimental and calculated results obtained in the numerical simulation of uniaxial tension of specimens of metal plates with a thickness of 0.7 mm. For modeling, the Digimat-FE (MSC) system was used, which in numerical calculations uses the finite element solver of the Marc software package (MSC). It is shown that for samples without coatings, the found theoretical values of the critical load quite well correspond to the points on the experimental diagrams at which the dependence of the load and displacement ceases to be linear. For specimens with coatings, the critical loads are significantly lower, and for their description it is necessary to obtain a refined estimate taking into account the effect of residual stresses.

In this article, a 3D finite element based thermo-mechanical model for friction stir welding (FSW) of a marine-grade aluminium alloy 5083 is proposed. The model demonstrates the thermal evaluation and the distribution of residual stresses and strains under the variation of process variables. The temperature profile of the weld joint during the FSW process and the mechanical properties of the joints are also experimentally evaluated. The necessary calibration of the model for the correct implementation of the thermal loading, mechanical loading, and boundary conditions was performed using the experimental results. The model simulation and experimental results are analyses in view of the process-property correlation study. The residual stress was evaluated along, and across the weld, centreline referred as longitudinal and transverse residual stresses, respectively. The magnitude of longitudinal residual stress is noted 60-80% higher than that of the transverse direction. The longitudinal residual stress generated a tensile oval shaped stress region around the tool shoulder confined to a maximum distance of about 25mm from the axis of the tool along the weld line. It encompasses the weld-nugget to thermo-mechanically affected zone (TMAZ), while the parent metal region is mostly experiences the compressive residual stresses. However, the transverse residual stress region appears like wing shaped region spread out in both the advancing and retreating side of the weld and occupying approximately double the area as compared to the longitudinal residual stresses. Overall, the study revealed a corelation between the FSW process variables such as welding speed and the tool rotational speed with the residual stress and the mechanical properties of the joint.

This paper presents a finite element (FE) modeling of the nanoindentation test of sapphire, in which the finite element method was employed to study the mechanical characteristic of sapphire under the nanoindentation process. The results demonstrated that the nanoindentation FE models were able to simulate the indentation loading-unloading curves of the sapphire. The load and unload displacement curves of the simulation and experiment results can match with each other well, and then the properties used in the simulation should be the actual properties of the sapphire. The Mises stress field distribution of the sapphire sample was calculated to reveal the alteration from elastic region to plastic region, which are useful for indentifying the ductile to brittle change in the sapphire abrasive process.

The present work deals with formulation of theoretical and analytical methods leading to the development of column strength curves. The formulations were developed for both elastic and inelastic behaviour. Two types of reinforcement have been developed for strengthening the W-shape columns under load. Since the column strength curves are based in part on the magnitude and distribution of residual stresses, it is extremely important to consider the new pattern of residual stresses due to welding process. Also, the welding sequence will affect the magnitude and distribution of residual stresses. Theoretical formulations leading to a closed-form solution for the prediction of critical load were developed for two types of strengthening using the superposition of original residual, new welding, and initial loading stresses. A nonlinear finite element analysis based on the large deformation theory of stability was used to predict the strengthened column critical load. It takes into consideration the effect of cooling residual stresses and new welding residual stresses. The formulations were incorporated with gradual penetration of yielding, the spreading of inelastic zones along the member length, the presence of residual stresses, and strain hardening of the material. Experiments were carried out to determine the actual capacity of strengthened columns. Seven specimens were tested using two and four strengthening plates. The welding stresses were measured through a series of experiments, and it was found that the parabolic distribution is a very close approximation to the actual new welding stress distribution. Key words: reinforcement of steel columns, welding stresses, welding sequence, strengthening of existing structures, buckling, steel plating, finite element.

The elastic critical load coefficients of square plates, under different inplane load configurations on opposite plate edges, are determined and the results compared. The stability analysis was performed by a finite element method that was developed by the authors. The parameters considered in the analysis are the Kinney's fixity factor, and the width factor of the patch load. It was found that the coefficients of the critical loads increase with increasing values of fixity and width factors. The opposite tendency is that a plate under a patch loaded towards the two corners of an edge is more stable than a plate loaded concentrically at the center of the edge.

The effects of soft adhesive interlayers on contact-induced radial cracking in brittle coatings on supporting substrates were investigated recently. A semiempirical equation for the critical load to initiate radial cracking was derived, which used three fitting parameters obtained by comparison with the finite element results. An analytical model is derived in the present study to illustrate the effects of adhesive interlayers. This is achieved by adopting the analogy between the coating/substrate system and a plate on an elastic foundation. In the presence of an adhesive interlayer, the interlayer/substrate bilayer is treated as the effective elastic foundation. The effective modulus of foundation for the bilayer is derived, and the solution for coating/interlayer/substrate systems can be obtained from the existing solution for coating/substrate systems by replacing the modulus of foundation. Specific results are calculated for critical loads to initiate radial cracks in silicon coatings bonded by adhesive interlayers of different materials and thicknesses to glass substrates. The present analytical solution provides an alternative other than the existing semiempirical equation in predicting the effects of adhesive interlayers.

This paper validates a methodology for the estimation of critical loads in tubular beams containing notch-type defects. The methodology is particularized for the case of Al6060-T66 tubular cantilever beams containing U-shaped notches. It consists in obtaining the stress field at the notch tip using finite element analysis (FEA) and the subsequent application of the theory of critical distances (TCD) to derive the corresponding critical load (or load-bearing capacity). The results demonstrate that this methodology provides satisfactory predictions of fracture loads.

Purpose: In this paper, the bending strength and buckling stability of (AA 7075-T6) aluminium plate weakened by many transverse cracks, which located at different positions, subjected to concentrated loads applied at the ends were analysed. Design/methodology/approach: Numerical modelling and calculation by the finite element method (ANSYS Package), for the critical load of bending and compression panel were estimated. Findings: It found that the variation of the critical stress in bending and buckling is proportional to the crack conditions (no. of crack and location). In general, the critical load in bending and buckling decreases with increasing the crack number in structure. Research limitations/implications: For both bending and buckling, two transverse cracks on one face of plate is more stable than two transverse cracks on opposite faces. Practical implications: In addition, many experimental tests were carried out by using an INSTRON test machine to obtain the buckling critical loads, where the experimental results were compared with the ones of the finite element method. Furthermore, bending strength was calculated theoretically for the cracked panel. Originality/value: Comparison between the experimental and numerical (FE based model) data and between the theoretical and nu-merical (FE based model) data for buckling and bending strength respectively indicate the precise and the simplicity of the developed models to determine the critical loads in such cases.
