Elastic Stresses

For the service life estimation of metallic components under cyclic loading according to strain-based approaches, a simulation of the elastic-plastic stress–strain path at the point of interest is necessary. An efficient method for determining this stress–strain path is the use of the load–notch-strain curve, as this is also implemented within the FKM guideline nonlinear. The load–notch-strain curve describes the relationship between the load on the component and the local elastic-plastic strain. On the one hand, this can be estimated from loads or theoretical elastic stresses by using notch root approximations. On the other hand, this can be determined in a finite element analysis based on the elastic-plastic material behaviour. This contribution describes how this latter option is carried out in general and how it can be optimised in such a way that the FEA requires significantly less calculation time. To show the benefit of this optimisation, a comparative calculation on an exemplary geometry is carried out.

This paper discusses the behaviour of hollow tubes with axisymmetric internal projections subjected to combined axial and internal pressure loading. Predictions from an extensive elastic and elastic-plastic finite element analysis are presented for a typical geometry and a range of loading combinations, using a simplified bilinear elastic-perfectly plastic material model. The axial loading case, previously analysed, is extended to cover the additional effect of internal pressure. All the predicted stress and strain data are found to depend on the applied loading conditions. The results are normalized with respect to material properties and can therefore be applied to geometrically similar components made from other materials, which can be represented by the same material models.

The mechanical behaviour of a high performance polycaprolactone based polyurethane elastomer (PCL) up to large strain levels, cyclic loading and equibiaxial stress has been assessed. The PCL can be categorised as a rubber-like material, thus, showing nonlinear stress-strain behaviour. The materials elastic network is based on a high molecular weight PCL polyol which gives the material its elastomeric behaviour similar to polyurethanes. In this work, mechanical testing capturing the major features of the stress-strain curve under different loading conditions is performed. Both, uni-axial loading-unloading curves and bulge test are thoroughly studied through the addition of digital image correlation (DIC) to measure the strain field. Results show the presence of hysteresis and loading configuration dependence. Then, two well-known hyperelastic constitutive models, the Arruda-Boyce eight-chain and Bergström-Boyce, were fitted to the uni-axial monotonic and cyclic test data and compared to the bulge test experimental results through finite element analysis (FEA) in Abaqus.

In fitness for service (FFS) assessments, one issue that people often encounter is a corroded area near a structural discontinuity. In this case, the formula-based sections of the FFS standard are incapable of evaluating the component without resorting to finite element analysis (FEA). In this paper, an FEA-based technical approach for evaluating FFS assessments using an elastic-plastic material model and reformed criteria is proposed.

This paper describes the results of a study of the elastic–plastic behaviour of short flat bars with projections subjected to monotonic and cyclic axial loading using finite element analysis. The results are complementary to similar results for (a) shear loading and (b) combined axial and shear loading. Six geometries are considered and elastic–plastic stress and strain data for both local and remote restraints are presented. These geometries and associated restraints result in elastic stress concentration factors in the range 1.69–4.96. A simple bilinear elastic–plastic material model is assumed and the results are normalized with respect to material properties so that they can be applied to geometrically similar components made from other materials which can be represented by the same material models.

This paper describes the results of a study of the elastic–plastic behaviour of short flat bars with projections subjected to monotonic and cyclic shear loading using finite element analysis. Six geometries, associated with both local and remote restraints (resulting in elastic stress concentration factors in the range 1.90–7.20), are considered. Three simple bilinear elastic–plastic material models are assumed. The results have been normalized with respect to material properties so that they can be applied to geometrically similar components made from other materials which can be represented by the same materials models.

The service life of critical aerospace components is governed by the modes of degradation and failure such as: yielding, fatigue, fracture, creep, corrosion, wear, etc. A single disc is used for over-speed and burst-speed tests to know the growths (plastic deformation). In this paper, a cyclic symmetry sector of disc model with non linear elastic-plastic material is considered. A non-linear finite element method is utilized to determine the stress and strain state of the disc under over-speed and burst-speed conditions using material stress strain curves. Permanent growths and strains obtained from the over-speed analysis are incorporated in the burst-speed Finite element Model. The original stress strain curve used in over-speed analysis is modified with plastic strain and used in burst-speed analysis of same disc. Elastic strains obtained from the over-speed and burst-speed analysis are utilized in stress strain relationship equations to calculate the permanent growths at critical locations of disc. Growths predicted from Analysis are comparable with the experimental results of disc where a maximum variation of 11% at bore and rim of disc is observed.

Industries have shown interest in the use of dissimilar metals to make corrosion-resistant materials combined with good mechanical properties in marine environments. Explosive welding can be considered a good method for joining dissimilar materials to prevent galvanic corrosion. The aim of the present study was to simulate the non-linear behaviour of a Ti6Al4V/Inconel 625 welded joint obtained by explosion welding from the values of the tensile ultimate strength and yielding strength of the parent materials. The present study compared the stress-strain curve from tensile loading obtained by the non-linear finite element analysis with the experimental stress-strain curve of a bimetallic joint. The applied method provides useful information for the development of models and the prediction of the structural behaviour of Ti6Al4V/Inconel 625 explosive welded joints.

Forging Force

The process of precision forging has been developed recently because of its advantages of giving high production rates and improved strength. For complete filling up, predicting the power requirement and final shape are important features of the forging process. A finite element method is used to investigate the forging force, the final shape and the stress distribution of the parking sensor shell forging. The stress-strain curve of AL-6082 is obtained by the computerized screw universal testing machine. The friction factor between AL-6082 alloy and die material (SKD11) are determined by using ring compression test. Stress-strain curve and fiction factor are then applied to the finite element analysis of the parking sensor shell forging. Maximum forging load, effective stress distribution and shape dimensions are determined of the parking sensor shell forging, using the finite element analysis. Then the parking sensor shells are formed by the forging machine. Finally, the experimental data are compared with the results of the current simulation for the forging force and shape dimensions of the parking sensor shell.

In this study, finite element analysis was made to predict the tensile and compressive behaviors of aluminum foam material. The predicted tensile and compressive behaviors were compared with those determined from the tensile and compressive tests. X-ray imaging technique was used to determine internal structure of aluminum foam material. That is, X-ray computed tomography (CT) was used to model the porosities of the material. Three-dimensional finite element modeling was made by stacking two-dimensional tomography of aluminum foam material determined from CT images. The stackings of CT images were processed by three-dimensional modeling program. The results showed that the tensile stress-strain curve predicted from the finite element analysis was similar to that determined by the experiment. The simulated compressive stress-strain curve also showed similar tendency with that of experiment up to about 0.4 strain but exhibited a different behavior from the experimental one after 0.4 strain. The discrepancy of compressive stress-strain curves in a high strain range was associated with the contact of aluminum foam walls broken by the large deformation.
