Abstract In work is presented a method of calculating elasto-plastic states in thermally loaded rods, which takes into account phase transformations that occur during surfacing by welding. Kinetics of phase transformations during heating and cooling is limited by temperature values at the beginning and at the end of austenitic transformation, while the progress of phase transformations during cooling is determined on the basis of TTT-welding diagram, basing on Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolomogorov law for diffusional transformations and Koistinen-Marburger for martensitic transformation. Stress state of a bar subjected to thermo-mechanical loads is described assuming the planar cross section hypothesis and using integral equations of stress equilibrium of a bar as well as simple Hook’s law. Dependence of stresses from strains is assumed on the basis of tensile curves of particular structures, taking into account the influence of temperature. Computations of strains and stresses are investigated in a rod made of S235 steel, loaded by thermal fields generated by a point welding heat source of different intensities. The analysis of origination and development of plastic strains is carried out. In order to verify correctness of the model, experimental tests are carried out on a rod made of S235 steel surfaced with GMA method with geometry and welding parameters assumed in numerical simulations. Residual stresses, calculated taking into account phase transformations and for homogenous material model, are compared with experimental results.

AbstractThe paper presents a model of temperature, phase transformation and stresses fields in a steel element during single-pass Gas Metal Arc Weld (GMAW) surfacing.Kinetics of phase transformations during heating is limited by temperature values at the beginning and at the end of austenitic transformation, while the progress of phase transformations during cooling is determined on the basis of TTT-welding diagram and Johnson-Mehl-Avrami and Kolomogorov law for diffusive transformations and Koistinen-Marburger for martensitic transformation. Stress state of a bar subjected to thermo-mechanical loads is described assuming the plane cross section hypothesis and using integral equations of stress equilibrium of a bar as well as simple Hook’s law. Stresses in the elastic-plastic state are determined by iteration using solutions with a variable elastic modulus of elasticity, conditioned by tensile curves. Dependence of stresses on strains is assumed on the basis of tensile curves of particular structures, taking into account the influence of temperature. There were performed calculations of the temperature field, phase transformations, strains and stresses for GMAW surfacing of a cuboid element made of S235 steel. Authors’ programs, made in Borland Delphi, were used for calculations.

Shape memory alloys are functional materials characterized by the effect of shape memory and superelasticity. Due to these properties, they are widely used, particularly, in bioengineering, aeronautics, robotics and civil engineering. The temperatures of phase transformations and the influence of external temperature and strain rate on the functional and mechanical characteristics of Ni55.75Ti44.15 shape memory alloy are investigated in this paper. The temperature of alloy phase transformations is obtained by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in the temperature range from -70°C to 70°C. Diagrams of differential scanning calorimeters at different heating and cooling rates of Ni55.75Ti44.15 alloy is constructed and analyzed. Samples for mechanical tests are made of round rod 8 mm in diameter. The samples working area is 12.5 mm in length and 4 mm in diameter. Mechanical tests are carried out at temperatures close to the maximum value of the completion temperature of martensitic-austenitic transformation Af = 14.7°C. Diagrams of deformation under uniaxial tension are constructed and stresses of phase transformations, Young's modulus and relative elongations of transformation areas at different loading speeds and exterior temperatures are determined. Using Clausius-Clapeyron formula, it is shown that with simultaneous changes in temperature and strain rate, the stresses of phase transformations are largely due to changes in temperature rather than load rates. The coefficients of Clausius-Clapeyron equation for superelastic Ni55.75Ti44.15 alloy with shape memory, which are consistent with those known in the literature, are determined.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the selection process of a rubber-like material model useful for simulation behaviour of an inflatable air cushion under multi-axial stress states. The air cushion is a part of a single segment of a pontoon bridge. The air cushion is constructed of a polyester fabric reinforced membrane such as Hypalon®. From a numerical point of view such a composite type poses a challenge since numerical ill-conditioning can occur due to stiffness differences between rubber and fabric. Due to the analysis of the large deformation dynamic response of the structure, the LS-Dyna code is used. Since LS-Dyna contains more than two-hundred constitutive models the inverse method is used to determine parameters characterizing the material on the base of results of the experimental test.

AbstractThe residual stress distribution in extruded components and wires after a conventional forming process is frequently unfavourable for subsequent processes, such as bending operations. High tensile residual stresses typically occur near the surface of the wire and thus limit further processability of the material. Additional heat treatment operations or shot peening are often inserted to influence the residual stress distribution in the material after conventional manufacturing. This is time and energy consuming. The research presented in this paper contains an approach to influence the residual stress distribution by modifying the forming process for wire-like applications. The aim of this process is to lower the resulting tensile stress levels near the surface or even to generate compressive stresses. To achieve these residual compressive stresses, special forming elements are integrated in the dies. These modifications in the forming zone have a significant influence on process properties, such as degree of deformation and deformation direction, but typically have no influence on the diameter of the product geometry. In the present paper, the theoretical approach is described, as well as the model set-up, the FE-simulation and the results of the experimental tests. The characterization of the residual stress states in the specimen was carried out by X-ray diffraction using the sin2Ψ method.

The Impact

A key aspect of any numerical simulation to predict welding induced residual stresses is the development and application of an appropriate material model. Often significant effort is expended characterising the thermal, physical and hardening properties including complex phenomena such as high temperature annealing. Consideration of these aspects is sufficient to produce a realistic prediction for austenitic steels, however ferritic steels are susceptible to solid state phase transformations when heated to high temperatures. On cooling a reverse transformation occurs, with an associated volume change at the isothermal transformation temperature. Although numerical models exist (e.g. Leblond) to predict the evolution of the metallurgical phases, accounting for volumetric changes, it remains a matter of debate as to the magnitude of the impact of phase transformations on residual stresses. Often phase transformations are neglected entirely. In this work a simple phase transformation model is applied to a range of welded structures with the specific aim of assessing the impact, or otherwise, of phase transformations on the magnitude and distribution of predicted residual stresses. The welded structures considered account for a range of geometries from a simple ferritic beam specimen to a thick section multi-pass weld. The outcome of this work is an improved understanding of the role of phase transformation on residual stresses and an appreciation of the circumstances in which it should be considered.

Fsw Parameters

The influence of friction stir welding (FSW) parameters on thermo-mechanical behaviour of the material during welding is analysed. An aluminium alloy is considered (Al 2024 T351), and different rotating speed and welding speed are applied. Finite element model consists of the plate (Al alloy), backing plate and welding tool, and it is formed and solved in software package Simulia Abaqus. The influence of the welding conditions on material behaviour is taken into account by application of the Johnson-Cook material model. The rotation of the tool affects the results: if increased, it contributes to an increase of friction-generated heat intensity. The other component of the generated heat, the plastic deformation of the material, is negligibly changed. When the welding speed is increased, the intensity of friction-generated heat decreases, while the heat generation due to plastic deforming increases. Combined, these two effects cause small change of the total heat generation. For the same welded joint length, the plate welded by lower speed will be heated more intensively. The changes of the heat generation influence both the temperature field and reaction force, which are also considered.

Thermomechanical Modeling

In this work we derive a new version of generalized plasticity, suitable to describe phase transformations. In particular, we present a general multi surface formulation of the theory which is capable of describing the multiple and interacting loading mechanisms, which occur during phase transformations. The formulation relies crucially on the consideration of the intrinsic material (“physical”) metric as a primary internal variable and does not invoke any decomposition of the kinematical quantities into elastic and inelastic (transformation induced) parts. The new theory, besides its theoretical interest, is also important for application purposes such as the description and the prediction of the response of shape memory alloy materials. This is shown in the simplest possible setting by the introduction of a material model. The ability of the model in simulating several patterns of the experimentally observed behavior of these materials such as the pseudoelastic phenomenon and the shape memory effect is assessed by representative numerical examples.

Modeling Strategy

The use of bioresorbable polymers such as poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) in coronary stents can hypothetically reduce the risk of complications (e.g., restenosis, thrombosis) after percutaneous coronary intervention. However, there is a need for a constitutive modeling strategy that combines the simplicity of implementation with strain rate dependency. Here, a constitutive modeling methodology for PLGA comprising numerical simulation using a finite element method is presented. First, the methodology and results of PLGA experimental tests are presented, with a focus on tension tests of tubular-type specimens with different strain rates. Subsequently, the constitutive modeling methodology is proposed and described. Material model constants are determined based on the results of the experimental tests. Finally, the developed methodology is validated by experimental and numerical comparisons of stent free compression tests with various compression speeds. The validation results show acceptable correlation in terms of both quality and quantity. The proposed and validated constitutive modeling approach for the bioresorbable polymer provides a useful tool for the design and evaluation of bioresorbable stents.
