Dynamic Formation

Numerical simulation of sequential collision behavior of multi-particles during dynamic formation of Al-based coating on magnesium alloy by supersonic particles deposition demonstrated that continuous tamping effect from subsequent sprayed particles improved significantly compression ratio of former deposited particle and promote effectively deformation and spread out. Analysis to morphology and microstructure of Al-based coating on magnesium alloy by SEM and TEM elicited that subsequent sprayed particles generated two effects including erosion and compaction to former deposited layer of the coating, induced formation of high density dislocation, grains refinement and re-crystallization, which played work-hardening strengthening effect and fine crystal strengthening effect to Al-Si coating.

The Impact

The development of a new composite that is compounded of natural fibres and of a low price polymer, such as HDPE or PP, began in the last decade of the past century. While this is a rather new material no attempts have been made to analytically describe and simulate mechanical properties of this material. There is also a great lack of knowledge in describing fine tuned processing parameters. Therefore, in the first part of this article micromechanical approach based upon Generalised Method of Cells (GMC) is introduced to simulate properties of injection moulded wood-plastic composite compounded of polypropylene (PP) or polystyrene (PS) and of wood or cellulose short fibres. Materials have first been scanned with an optical and electron microscope to determine average fibre properties and their scatter. These values are then used to determine elastic and plastic response of the composite alongside with its tensile strength and maximum elongation, where the Tsai-Hill failure criterion has been used. The results of the simulation are then compared to experimental data in order to evaluate practical usage of this method. The second part of the article is focused on the simulation of injection moulding where test specimens were injected and the search for optimum injection parameters was performed. Various mechanical and rheological tests were performed and in addition practical industrial products were injected to observe the impact of various natural fibres on the filling of the mould cavity. Every experiment and process was then compared to the numerical simulation in order to evaluate applicability of numerical simulations under real conditions. On the basis of these experiments detailed mould design guidelines are given.

Pressure Die Casting

Although numerical simulation accuracy makes progress rapidly, it is in an insufficient phase because of complicated phenomena of the filling process and difficulty of experimental verification in high pressure die casting (HPDC), especially in thin-wall complex die-castings. Therefore, in this paper, a flow visualization experiment is conducted, and the porosity at different locations is predicted under three different fast shot velocities. The differences in flow pattern between the actual filling process and the numerical simulation are compared. It shows that the flow visualization experiment can directly observe the actual and real-time filling process and could be an effective experimental verification method for the accuracy of the flow simulation model in HPDC. Moreover, significant differences start to appear in the flow pattern between the actual experiment and the Anycasting solution after the fragment or atomization formation. Finally, the fast shot velocity would determine the position at which the back flow meets the incoming flow. The junction of two streams of fluid would create more porosity than the other location. There is a transition in flow patterns due to drag crisis under high fast shot velocity around two staggered cylinders, which resulted in the porosity relationship also changing from R1 < R3 < R2 (0.88 m/s) to R1 < R2 < R3 (1.59 and 2.34 m/s).

Overall Performance

A numerical simulation has been carried out to examine the response of steel plates with different arrangement of stiffeners and subjected to noncontact underwater explosion (UNDEX) with different shock loads. Numerical analysis of the underwater explosion phenomena is implemented in the nonlinear finite element code ABAQUS/Explicit. The aim of this work is to enhance the dynamic response to resist UNDEX. Special emphasis is focused on the evolution of mid-point displacements. Further investigations have been performed to study the effects of including material damping and the rate-dependant material properties at different shock loads. The results indicate that stiffeners configurations and shock loads affect greatly the overall performance of steel plates and sensitive to the materials data. Also, the numerical results can be used to obtain design guidelines of floating structures to enhance resistance of underwater shock damage, since explosive tests are costly and dangerous.
