This study presents the development of a thermo-mechanical simulation model for an elastic-plastic contact problem between a half cylinder and a plane plate. The set of equations was solved using direct coupling method by Ansys mechanical. The results obtained from the present numerical model of the structural contact without heat transfer are compared with those of analytical, experimental and other numerical models. Then, the contact problem was solved using a coupled thermo-mechanical model. Computational results showed significant effects of thermal consideration in the elastic-plastic contact problem. Large deformations of structure due to high temperature are predicted using the thermo-mechanical model with elastic-plastic deformations. This model is useful to predict deformations on the structural components due to contact at high temperature situation.

This article presents the results of experimental research on the mechanical properties of pine wood (Pinus L. Sp. Pl. 1000. 1753). In the course of the research process, stress-strain curves were determined for cases of tensile, compression and shear of standardized shapes samples. The collected data set was used to determine several material constants such as: modulus of elasticity, shear modulus or yield point. The aim of the research was to determine the material properties necessary to develop the model used in the finite element analysis (FEM), which demonstrates the symmetrical nature of the stress distribution in the sample. This model will be used to analyze the process of grinding wood base materials in terms of the peak cutting force estimation and the tool geometry influence determination. The main purpose of the developed model will be to determine the maximum stress value necessary to estimate the destructive force for the tested wood sample. The tests were carried out for timber of around 8.74% and 19.9% moisture content (MC). Significant differences were found between the mechanical properties of wood depending on moisture content and the direction of the applied force depending on the arrangement of wood fibers. Unlike other studies in the literature, this one relates to all three stress states (tensile, compression and shear) in all significant directions (anatomical). To verify the usability of the determined mechanical parameters of wood, all three strength tests (tensile, compression and shear) were mapped in the FEM analysis. The accuracy of the model in determining the maximum destructive force of the material is equal to the average 8% (for tensile testing 14%, compression 2.5%, shear 6.5%), while the average coverage of the FEM characteristic with the results of the strength test in the field of elastic-plastic deformations with the adopted ±15% error overlap on average by about 77%. The analyses were performed in the ABAQUS/Standard 2020 program in the field of elastic-plastic deformations. Research with the use of numerical models after extension with a damage model will enable the design of energy-saving and durable grinding machines.

In the paper the author presents the results of tests defining the characteristics of behaviour of Sandelin steel in the high-temperature galvanizing process. The growth kinetics of hot-dip zinc coatings on the substrate of 0.05% Si steel in the temperature range of 540-580°C has been established. The structure of the coatings and their phase composition have been developed and the chemical composition of structural components of the coating has be defined. It has been determined that the coating is composed of a compact layer δ1 and an area of a two-phase mixture of δ1 and Zn. The conducted tests confirmed the presence of phase Γ1 , which does not form a continuous layer but it forms individual precipitates which are irregular in shape. The growth kinetics of the coating indicates that an increase in temperature causes a decrease in the coating thickness, which might prove that dissolving processes prevailed over the processes of diffuse coating growth.

Abstract The middle eastern countries including United Arab Emirates (UAE) have enjoyed the energy production from hydrocarbon resource for a very long period. Indeed, now various countries in this region has shifted to alternative resources of power generation with cheaper and cleaner sources. Geothermal is the top of the list among those sources. Therefore, this study presents an ultimate model converting abandoned oil and gas wells into subsurface geothermal recovery points. Fundamentally, this study offers a geo-thermo-mechanical model of abandoned wellbore which can help in developing an optimistic geothermal energy not only from subsurface thermal reserve but also from abandoned casing and pipes installed in Wellbores. In this approach the source of heat is thermally active rock formations and the metallic pipes that are present in wellbores drilled through hot dry rocks. In the model the already drilled wells are incorporated as medium of heat flow in which water in injected and brought back to surface along with thermal impact. The results of this study revealed that, at the depth of 6000 m of high temperature wellbore the temperature is above 85°C and at this temperature the metallic casings further rise the reserve temperature thus the conversion of water into steam can be processed easily. Moreover, at high depths the stability of wellbore is also issue in high temperature formation, so mechanical model suggests that injection of water and conversion into steam in already cased wellbore can sustain up to 6 MPa stress at around 100C. Thus, the geo-thermo-mechanical model of wellbore will illustrate the possibility of converting water into steam and it will also reveal the average amount of heat that can be generated from a single well. henceforth, the thermal recovery from abandoned wells of UAE is best fit solution for clean energy. The abandoned wells are used as conduit to transport heat energy from subsurface by using water as transport medium, as water at surface temperature is injected in those wellbores and let thermal energy convert that water into steam. Later the steam is returned to surface and used as fuel in turbines or generators.

Statistical Relationships

One of the most widely used automated manufacturing processes for composite parts is automated fibre placement (AFP). The deposition process involves the simultaneous warming, lay-up and consolidation of prepreg consisting of multitude of process parameters. Currently, AFP process parameters that ensure part conformance are derived by expensive and time-consuming trial-and-error approaches. The aim of this study is to demonstrate how physics-based finite element simulations that can predict the as manufactured geometry of a preform deposited by AFP can help reduce some of the empiricism associated with current industry practices. Here we particularly focus on the consolidation behaviour of toughened prepregs during the deposition process. An isothermal roller compaction model with thermal properties derived from an independent simplified thermo-mechanical model of the AFP head is used. Additionally, a fully characterised viscoelastic material definition is used for the prepreg tape along with a hyperelastic material for the compaction roller to accurately represent the physical parts. Various lay-up speeds, heater powers and compaction forces are simulated. To reduce the empiricism present in the manufacturing process, the viability of incorporating the numerical models into existing statistical relationships between process parameters and manufactured geometry is examined.

Plastics are widely used in structural components where cyclic loads may cause fatigue failure. In particular, in some applications such as in vehicles, the working temperature may change and therefore the strength of the polymeric materials. In this work, the fatigue behavior of two thermoplastic materials (ABS and PC-ABS) at different temperatures has been investigated. In particular, three temperatures have been considered representing the working condition at room temperature, at low temperature (winter conditions), and high temperature (summer conditions and/or components close to the engine). Results show that high temperature have big impact on fatigue performance, while low temperatures may also have a slight positive effect.

Elastic Plastic

This paper focuses on the creation and numerical application of physically nonlinear plane steel frames analysis problems. The frames are analysed using finite elements with axial and bending deformations taken into account. Two nonlinear physical models are used and compared – linear hardening and ideal elastic-plastic. In the first model, distributions of plastic deformations along the elements and across the sections are taken into account. The proposed method allows for an exact determination of the stress-strain state of a rectangular section subjected to an arbitrary combination of bending moment and axial force. Development of plastic deformations in time and distribution along the length of elements are determined by dividing the structure (and loading) into the parts (increments) and determining the reduced modulus of elasticity for every part. The plastic hinge concept is used for the analysis based on the ideal elastic-plastic model. The created calculation algorithms have been fully implemented in a computer program. The numerical results of the two problems are presented in detail. Besides the stress-strain analysis, the described examples demonstrate how the accuracy of the results depends on the number of finite elements, on the number of load increments and on the physical material model. COMSOL finite element analysis software was used to compare the presented 1D FEM methodology to the 3D FEM mesh model analysis.
