Corrugated paperboards are used for packaging because of their high strength-to-weight ratio, recyclability, and biodegradability. Corrugated paperboard consists of a liner and a corrugated medium and has an orthotropic sandwich structure with unique characteristics for each direction owing to its flute shape. In this study, finite element analysis (FEA) was performed on the flat crush behavior of the corrugated paperboard based on the flute type. The stress-strain (SS) curve and shape change of the flute were analyzed during the flat compression. In addition, it was compared with the FEA results through various experiments. The restraints and boundary conditions applied during FEA were used to properly describe the conditions during the experiment. Specifically, the horizontal translation motion of the top and bottom surfaces of the modeled test specimen was constrained during FEA to correspond to the effect of sandpaper attached to the upper and lower plates of the testing machine. This was done to prevent the specimen from sliding in one direction during the flat crush test. The change in the flute shape of the corrugated paperboard by flute type analyzed through experiments and FEA was very similar; although there was a difference in the absolute value between the two methods of the SS curve, the flute type exhibited a similar trend. Therefore, a qualitative comparative study on the flat crush behavior by flute type was possible with the FEA method, as in this study. Further studies on the material properties of the corrugated paperboard components and the modeling methods of the corrugated paperboard will enable the FEA-based simulation technique to be an alternative tool that can replace the flat crush test.

AbstractThe molecular chains of a highly oriented polymer lie in the same direction. A highly oriented polymer is an engineering material with a high strength-to-weight ratio and favorable mechanical properties. Such an orthotropic material has biaxially arranged molecular chains that resist stress in the tensile direction, giving it a high commercial value. In this investigation, finite element analysis (FEA) was utilized to elucidate the deformation and failure of a highly oriented polymer. Based on the principles of material mechanics and using the FEA software, Abaqus, a solid model of an I-beam was constructed, and the lengths of this beam were set based on their heights. Three-point bending tests were performed to simulate the properties of the orthotropic highly oriented polymer, yielding results that reveal both tension failure and shear failure. The aspect ratio that most favored the manufacture of an I-beam from highly oriented polymers was obtained; based on this ratio, a die drawing mold can be developed in the future.

Hot stamping represents an innovative manufacturing process for forming of advanced high strength steels, implying a sheet at austenite temperature being rapidly cooled down and formed into a die at the same time (quenching). This affords the opportunity to manufacture components with complex geometric shapes, high strength and a minimum of springback which currently find applications as crash relevant components in the automotive industry. With regard to the numerical modeling of the process, the knowledge of thermal and thermo-mechanical properties of the material is required. The material model under hot stamping condition of advanced high strength steel should be set up. The Finite Element Analysis is an essential precondition for a good process design including all process parameters. This paper presents the finite element simulation of a hot stamping process and describes a number of procedures for the simulation of hot stamping. In addition, the development direction is pointed out at the end of this paper.

Titanium alloys are commonly used for many aerospace and medical applications because of their properties like high strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance and heat treatment capabilities. But, due to the factors like low thermal conductivity and chemical reactivity with the cutting tool, it poses a challenge for the machining operations. In this study, a 3D Finite Element Model of the milling process of Ti-6Al-4V, titanium alloy has been developed using Deform 3D FE software. Milling was done experimentally under different speeds and feed rates using a Tungsten carbide end mill cutter. The cutting forces obtained from FEM study were compared and validated with the experimental results. The machinability of the Titanium alloy was investigated using cutting forces and chip microstructure.

This paper proposes a computation method using the equivalent magnetic circuit to analyze the driving force for the non-contact permanent magnet linear drive system. In this device, the magnetic driving force is related to the rotation angle of driving wheels. The relationship is verified by finite element analysis and measuring experiments. The result of finite element simulation is in good agreement with the model established by the equivalent magnetic circuit. Then experiments of displacement control are carried out to test the dynamic characteristic of this system. The controller of the system adopts the combination control of displacement and angle. The results indicate that the system has good performance in steady-state error and response speed, while the maximum overshoot needs to be reduced.

The aim of this paper is to design and fabricate a star die and a cylindrical die to produce a star shape by redrawing the cylindrical shape and comparing it to the conventional method of producing a star cup drawn from the circular blank sheet using experimental (EXP) and finite element simulation (FES). The redrawing and drawing process was done to produce a star cup with the dimension of (41.5 × 34.69mm), and (30 mm). The finite element model is performed via mechanical APDL ANSYS18.0 to modulate the redrawing and drawing operation. The results of finite element analysis were compared with the experimental results and it is found that the maximum punch force (39.12KN) recorded with the production of a star shape drawn from the circular blank sheet when comparing the punch force (32.33 KN) recorded when redrawing the cylindrical shape into a star shape. This is due to the exposure of the cup produced drawn from the blank to the highest tensile stress. The highest value of the effective stress (709MPa) and effective strain (0.751) recorded with the star shape drawn from a circular blank sheet. The maximum value of lamination (8.707%) is recorded at the cup curling (the concave area) with the first method compared to the maximum value of lamination (5.822%) recorded at the cup curling (the concave area) with the second method because of this exposure to the highest concentration of stresses. The best distribution of thickness, strains, and stresses when producing a star shape by

In recent years, due to its low density and high strength/weight ratio, magnesium alloy wires has been considered for application in many fields, such as welding, electronics, medical field (for production of stents). But for those purposes, we need to acquire wires with high strength and ductility. For that we purpose we proposed alternate drawing method, which is supposed to highly decrease the shearing strain near the surface of the wire after drawing, by changing the direction of the wire drawing with each pass and thus acquiring high ductility wires.We have done research on the cold alternate drawing of magnesium alloy wires, by conducting wire drawing of several magnesium wires and testing their strength, hardness, structure, surface and also finite element analysis, we have proven the increase of ductility at the expense of some strength.In this research we are looking to further improve the quality of the drawn wires by examining the benefits of using diamond dies over tungsten carbine dies. Using the alternate drawing method reduces the strength of the drawn wires and thus lowering their drawing limit. By using diamond dies we are aiming to decrease the drawing stress and further increase the drawing limit of the alternate drawn wires and also improve the quality of the finishing surface of the wires. With this in mind we are aiming to produce a good quality wire with low diameter, high ductility, high strength and fine wire surface.

High strength steel sections have been increasingly used in buildings and bridges, and steel angles have also been widely used in many steel structures, especially in transmission towers and long span trusses. However, high strength steel exhibits mechanical properties that are quite different from ordinary strength steel, and hence, the local buckling behavior of steel equal angle members under axial compression varies with the steel strength. However, there is a lack of research on the relationship of the local buckling behavior of steel equal angle members under axial compression with the steel strength. A finite element model is developed in this paper to analyze the local buckling behavior of steel equal angle members under axial compression, and study its relationship with the steel strength and the width-to-thickness ratio of the angle leg. The finite element analysis (FEA) results are compared with the corresponding design method in the American code AISC 360-05, which provides a reference for the related design.

Finite element simulation of stable fatigue crack growth using critical crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) was done. In the preliminary finite element simulation without crack growth, the critical CTOD was determined by monitoring the ratio between the displacement increments at the nodes above the crack tip and behind the crack tip in the neighborhood of the crack tip. The critical CTOD was determined as the vertical displacement at the node on the crack surface just behind the crack tip at the maximum ratio. In the main finite element simulation with crack growth, the crack growth rate with respect to the effective stress intensity factor range considering crack closure yielded more consistent result. The exponents m in the Paris law were determined.
