As a new-type of ultra-supercritical HI-IP rotor steel, X12CrMoWVNbN10-1-1 alloy steel has excellent integrative performance, which can effectively improve the power generation efficiency of the generator set. In this paper, uniaxial thermal compression tests were carried out over a temperature range of 950–1200 °C and strain rates of 0.05–5 s−1 with a Gleeble-1500D thermal simulation testing machine. Moreover, based on hot compression experimental data and the theory of processing diagrams, in combination with the dynamic material model, a three-dimensional (3-D) thermal processing map considering the effect of strain was constructed. It was concluded that optimum thermal deformation conditions were as follows: the temperature range of 1150–1200 °C, the strain rate range of 0.05–0.634 s−1. Through secondary development of the finite element (FE) software FORGE®, three-dimensional thermal processing map data were integrated into finite element software FORGE®. The distributions of instability coefficient and power dissipation coefficient were obtained over various strain rates and temperatures of the Ø 8 × 12 mm cylinder specimen by using finite element simulation. It is shown that simulation results are consistent with the microstructure photos. The method proposed in this paper, which integrates the three-dimensional processing map into the finite element software FORGE® (Forge NxT 2.1, Transvalor, Nice, France), can effectively predict the formability of X12CrMoWVNbN10-1-1 alloy steel.

The hot compression behavior of in situ TiB whiskers reinforced Ti6Al4V (TiBw/Ti6Al4V) composites with a novel network microstructure is investigated in the temperature range of 900-1100°C and strain rate range of 0.001-10 s-1. The results show that all the stress-strain curves of the composites display peak flow, softening and steady-state. Moreover, the peak flow stress decreases with increasing temperatures and decreasing strain rates. Processing map of the composite is constructed using the dynamic material model (DMM). Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) of α phase is observed in the deformation region corresponding with peak efficiency of the processing map. However, the flow instability region ranged from 900 to 1100°C at strain rates higher than 1.0 s-1should be avoided.

The characteristic of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) in Mg-Y-Nd-Gd-Zr magnesium alloy had been investigated by compression test at temperatures between 523 and 723K and the strain rates ranging from 0.002 to 1s-1with maximum strain of 0.693. The flow behavior was described by a power exponent function. Processing map of this alloy was established on the basis of dynamic material model. Microstructure observations suggested that the peak value of dissipation factor was 0.36 at the temperature of 673K and the strain rate of 1s-1. The map exhibits flow instabilities as two domains, one is at the lower temperatures but higher strain rates, and the other is at higher temperatures and lower strains.The region at an intermediate temperature and a high strain rate is the region of the optimal mechanical working properties.

Smeared Crack

Numerical model for fatigue crack propagation within the framework of finite element smeared crack analysis is presented. It concentrates on modeling of fatigue behavior of material under tensile load which causes initiation and growth of cracks in concrete. The fatigue material model is an extension of existing static three-dimensional fracture-plastic material model, and as such it has been implemented into the ATENA Finite Element software package. The developed model has been used to model experiments with high-cycle loading of three point bending concrete specimens tested by collaborating institutions. Analysis results are compared to the measurements.

Abstract In this study, elastoplastic model for the surrounding rock of axisymmetric circular tunnel is investigated under three-dimensional (3D) principal stress states. Novel numerical solutions for strain-softening surrounding rock were first proposed based on the modified 3D Hoek–Brown criterion and the associated flow rule. Under a 3D axisymmetric coordinate system, the distributions for stresses and displacement can be effectively determined on the basis of the redeveloped stress increment approach. The modified 3D Hoek–Brown strength criterion is also embedded into finite element software to characterize the yielding state of surrounding rock based on the modified yield surface and stress renewal algorithm. The Euler implicit constitutive integral algorithm and the consistent tangent stiffness matrix are reconstructed in terms of the 3D Hoek–Brown strength criterion. Therefore, the numerical solutions and finite element method (FEM) models for the deep buried tunnel under 3D principal stress condition are presented, so that the stability analysis of surrounding rock can be conducted in a direct and convenient way. The reliability of the proposed solutions was verified by comparison of the principal stresses obtained by the developed numerical approach and FEM model. From a practical point of view, the proposed approach can also be applied for the determination of ground response curve of the tunnel, which shows a satisfying accuracy compared with the measuring data.

This investigation is aimed at the modeling of both the fabrication process and the reliability of press-fit interconnections on moulded interconnect devices (MID). These are multifunctional three-dimensional substrates, produced by thermoplastic injection moulding for large-series applications. The assembly process and subsequently the durability of press-fit interconnections has been modeled and proved with a finite element software. Especially, a simulation tool for process optimizations was created and applied. In order to obtain realistic results, a creep model for the investigated base material, a liquid-crystal polymer (LCP), was generated and verified by experiments. Required friction coefficients between metal pin and base material were determined by adapting simulations and experiments. Retention forces of pins pressed into substrate holes during as well after the assembly process, and after temperature loads were predicted by simulations. Additionally, the decreasing extraction forces over time due to creep in the thermoplastic base material have been predicted for different storage temperatures as well with finite element analyses. Following, the numerical results of the process and reliability modeling were verified by experiments. It is concluded that the behavior of the mechanical contact of the pin-substrate system, can be suitably described time- and temperature-dependent.

Cutting Zone

Analysis of the cutting process in machining of advanced alloys, which are typically difficult-to-machine materials, is a challenge that needs to be addressed. In a machining operation, cutting forces causes severe deformations in the proximity of the cutting edge, producing high stresses, strain, strain-rates and temperatures in the workpiece that ultimately affect the quality of the machined surface. In the present work, cutting forces generated in a vibro-impact and hot vibro-impact machining process of Ti-based alloy, using an in-house Ultrasonically Assisted Turning (UAT) setup, are studied. A three-dimensional, thermo-mechanically coupled, finite element model was developed to study the thermal and mechanical processes in the cutting zone for the various machining processes. Several advantages of ultrasonically assisted turning and hot ultrasonically assisted turning are demonstrated when compared to conventional turning.
