Rupture Strain

Finite element model of the elbow interiorly impacted by flat-nosed missile was established using ANSYS/LS-DYNA. The Cowper-Symonds model was adopted. The rupture strain failure criterion was used to define the failure process. Numerical values were compared with experimental values obtained from the literature and the reliability of model was validated. The penetration failure mode of the elbow was analyzed. Factors of the critical rupture kinetic energy Er were acquired. It can be seen that the penetration failure mode is plugging induced by the extrusion and scraping dominated of axis stress. The effect of Do on Er can be neglected. Er increases with the increase of t/Do, Dm/t and R/Do when the missile mass m is invariable. The effect of m on Er should consider the factors of m and critical rupture velocity Vr.

Abstract A finite element model was developed to simulate the tire-rim interface. Elastomers were modeled by nonlinear incompressible elements, whereas plies were simulated by cord-rubber composite elements. Gap elements were used to simulate the opening between tire and rim at zero inflation pressure. This opening closed when the inflation pressure was increased gradually. The predicted distribution of contact pressure at the tire-rim interface agreed very well with the available experimental measurements. Several variations of the tire-rim interference fit were analyzed.

The Finite Element Model

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

Background: Finite element simulation has become an important method for the mechanism research of metal machining in recent years. Objective: To study the cutting mechanism of hardened 45 steel (45HRC), and improve the processing efficiency and quality. Methods: A 3D oblique finite element model of traditional turning of hardened 45 steel based on ABAQUS was established in this paper. The feasibility of the finite element model was verified by experiment, and the influence of cutting parameters on cutting force was predicted by single factor experiment and orthogonal experiment based on simulation. Finally, the empirical formula of cutting force was fitted by MATLAB. Besides, a lot of patents on 3D finite element simulation for metal machining were studied. Results: The results show that the 3D oblique finite element model can predict three direction cutting force, the 3D chip shape, and other variables of metal machining and the prediction errors of three direction cutting force are 5%, 9.02%, and 8.56%. The results of single factor experiment and orthogonal experiment are in good agreement with similar research, which shows that the model can meet the needs for engineering application. Besides, the empirical formula and the prediction results of cutting force are helpful for the parameters optimization and tool design. Conclusion: A 3D oblique finite element model of traditional turning of hardened 45 steel is established, based on ABAQUS, and the validation is carried out by comparing with experiment.

Simulation Results

AbstractTo analysis the failure and energy absorption of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) thin-walled square tube, the quasi-static axial compression loading tests are conducted for [±45]3s square tube, and the square tube after test is scanned to further investigate the failure mechanism. Three different finite element models, i.e. single-layer shell model, multi-layer shell model and stacked shell mode, are developed by using the Puck 2000 matrix failure criterion and Yamada Sun fiber failure criterion, and three models are verified and compared according to the experimental energy absorption metrics. The experimental and simulation results show that the failure mode of [±45]3s square tube is the local buckling failure mode, and the energy are absorbed mainly by intralaminar and interlaminar delamination, fiber elastic deformation, fiber debonding and fracture, matrix deformation cracking and longitudinal crack propagation. Three different finite element models can reproduce the collapse behaviours of [±45]3s square tube to some extent, but the stacked shell model can better reproduce the failure mode, and the difference of specific energy absorption (SEA) is minimum, which shows the numerical simulation results are in better agreement with the test results.

The Relationship

This paper shows the finite element simulation of a representative specimen from the firewall section in the AEROMARMI ESTELA M1 aircraft. This specimen is manufactured in glass and carbon / epoxy laminates. The specimen is subjected to a load which direction and magnitude are determined by a previous dynamic loads study [10], taking into account the maximum load factor allowed by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) for utilitarian aircrafts [11]. A representative specimen is manufactured with the same features of the firewall. Meanwhile a fix is built in order to introduce the load directions on the representative specimen. The relationship between load and displacement is plotted for this representative specimen, whence the maximum displacement at the specific load is obtained, afterwards it is compared with the finite element model, which is modified in its laminate thicknesses in order to decrease the deviation error; subsequently this features could be applied to perform the whole firewall analysis in a future model [10].

The microstructure and material properties of AZ31 magnesium alloy are very sensitive to process parameters, which directly determine the service properties. To explore and understand the deformation behavior and the optimization of the deformation process, the microstructure evolution during equal channel angular pressing was predicted by using the DEFORM-3D software package at different temperature. To verify the finite element simulation results, the microstructure across the transverse direction of the billet was measured. The results show that the effects strain and deformation temperatures on the microstructure evolution of AZ31 magnesium during ECAP process are significant, and a good agreement between the predicted and experimental results was obtained, which confirmed that the derived dynamic recrystallization mathematical models can be successfully incorporated into the finite element model to predict the microstructure evolution of ECAP process for AZ31 magnesium.

Simulation of blood flow in this paper is analyzed using two-equation turbulent finite element model that can calculate values in the viscous sublayer. Implicit integration of the equations is used for determining the fluid velocity, fluid pressure, turbulence, kinetic energy, and dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy. These values are calculated in the finite element nodes for each step of incremental- iterative procedure. Developed turbulent finite element model, with the customized generation of finite element meshes, is used for calculating complex blood flow problems. Analysis of results showed that a cardiologist can use proposed tools and methods for investigating the hemodynamic conditions inside bifurcation of arteries.

Abstract This work evaluates and revisits elements from the depth-sensing indentation literature by means of carefully chosen practical indentation cases, simulated numerically and compared to experiments. The aim is to close a series of debated subjects, which constitute major sources of inaccuracies in the evaluation of depth-sensing indentation data in practice. Firstly, own examples and references from the literature are presented in order to demonstrate how crucial self-similarity detection and blunting distance compensation are, for establishing a rigorous link between experiments and simple sharp-indenter models. Moreover, it is demonstrated, once again, in terms of clear and practical examples, that no more than two parameters are necessary to achieve an excellent match between a sharp indenter finite element simulation and experimental force-displacement data. The clear conclusion is that reverse analysis methods promising to deliver a set of three unique material parameters from depth-sensing indentation cannot be reliable. Lastly, in light of the broad availability of modern finite element software, we also suggest to avoid the rigid indenter approximation, as it is shown to lead to unnecessary inaccuracies. All conclusions from the critical literature review performed lead to a new semi-analytical reverse analysis method, based on available dimensionless functions from the literature and a calibration against case specific finite element simulations. Implementations of the finite element model employed are released as supplementary material, for two major finite element software packages.
