The prediction of residual stress relaxation is essential to assess the safety of welded components. This paper aims to study the influence of various effective parameters on residual stress relaxation under cyclic loading. In this regard, a 3D finite element modeling is performed to determine the residual stress in welded aluminum plates. The accuracy of this analysis is verified through experiment. To study the plasticity effect on stress relaxation, two plasticity models are implemented: perfect plasticity and combined isotropic-kinematic hardening. Hence, cyclic plasticity characterization of the material is specified by low cycle fatigue tests. It is found that the perfect plasticity leads to greater stress relaxation. In order to propose an accurate model to compute the residual stress relaxation, the Taguchi L18 array with four 3-level factors and one 6-level is employed. Using statistical analysis, the order of factors based on their effect on stress relaxation is determined as mean stress, stress amplitude, initial residual stress, and number of cycles. In addition, the stress relaxation increases with an increase in mean stress and stress amplitude.

Bonded patches are widely used in several industry sectors for repairing damaged plates, cracks in metallic structures, and reinforcement of damaged structures. Composite patches have optimal properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio, easiness in being applied, and high flexibility. Due to recent rapid growth in the aerospace industry, analyses of adhesively bonded patches applicable to repairing cracked structures have become of great significance. In the present study, the fatigue behavior of the aluminum alloy, repaired by a double-sided glass/epoxy composite patch, is studied numerically. More specifically, the effect of applying a double-sided composite patch on the fatigue life improvement of a damaged aluminum 6061-T6 is analyzed. 3D finite element numerical modeling is performed to analyze the fatigue performance of both repaired and unrepaired aluminum plates using the Abaqus package. To determine the fatigue life of the aluminum 6061-T6 plate, first, the hysteresis loop is determined, and afterward, the plastic strain amplitude is calculated. Finally, by using the Coffin-Manson equation, fatigue life is predicted and validated against the available experimental data from the literature. Results reveal that composite patches increase the fatigue life of cracked structures significantly, ranging from 55% to 100% for different applied stresses.

Convergent Approach

Higher-order layerwise model is proposed to determine stress intensity factors using virtual crack closure technique for V-notched plates. Present method is based on p-convergent approach and adopts the concept of subparametric element. In assumed displacement field, strain-displacement relations and 3-D constitutive equations of a layer are obtained by combination of 2-D and 1-D higher-order shape functions. Thus, it allows independent implementation of p-refinement for in-plane and transversal displacements. In the proposed elements, the integrals of Legendre polynomials and Gauss-Lobatto technique are employed to interpolate displacement fields and to implement numerical quadrature, respectively.

Both microstructure inhomogeneity and mechanical property diversity along the thickness direction in rolled thick aluminum plates have been considered to have a remarkable impact on the performance and properties of the products made from the plates. In this study, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) characterizations of microstructure and texture types along the thickness directions of Al7055 thick plate specimens prepared using two conditions, hot-rolling and solution-quenching, were performed. To examine the mechanical properties, uniaxial tensile tests were also carried out on specimens machined from both types of thick plates, using a layered strategy along the thickness direction. The results indicate that both the microstructure and mechanical properties are inhomogeneous under the two conditions. Furthermore, it is evident that there is a hereditary relationship between the mechanical properties of the two plates—areas with higher yield strength in the as-hot-rolled plate correspond to areas with the higher yield strength in the as-solution-quenched plate
