This paper adopted explicit dynamics FEM software ANSYS/LS-DYNA and carried out the numerical simulation calculation of 9 roller horizontal straightening and 8 roller vertical straightening for 60 kg/m heavy rail with original curvature. The reductions of straightening rollers are taken as the main effective factor to the residual stress in the straightening regulation. It adopted orthogonal experimental method to obtain the main effective factors for straightness and residual stress. In the assurance of meeting the straightness, it obtained the regulation in which the residual stress is the smallest, so it makes the important theoretical and actual sense to formulate the rational straightening process and improve the straightening quality of rail.

Residual stress is very important to the straightened quality of rail, this paper adopts explicit dynamics FEM to study on residual stress. We established compound roller model and calculated the residual value of heavy rail through 9 roller horizontal straightening and 8 roller vertical straightening. The reductions of straightening rollers are taken as the main effective factor to the residual stress in the straightening process. We adopt orthogonal calculation method to obtain the main effective factor to residual stress. On the base of assurance of the straightness, we obtained the optimal regulation in which the residual stress is the smallest, so the paper makes the important theoretical and actual sense to formulate the rational straightening regulation and improve the straightening quality of rail.

The initial cooling temperature has important effect on the bending change and section size of rolled heavy rail, when rolled heavy rail is on the cooling bed for natural cooling. In the paper, the heat-stress couple method is adopted to carry on numerical simulation to cooling process of 60kg/m U75V heavy rail, and we has obtained the bending change value and section size of rolled heavy rail in different initial cooling temperature. The study is of great reference value on the design of cooling bed which is for hundred-meter high speed heavy rail and the formulation of cooling technological parameters.

An approach of numerical modeling and simulation algorithm is presented to predict dynamic behaviors of one kind of antenna radomes materials efficiently. Considering the dynamic behaviors in the lateral and interior of the antenna radomes materials, the dynamic simulation equations of the antenna radomes materials is established based on a dynamic boundary element method (DBEM) by using the domain reducing to decrease computational scale and costs of the equations greatly, and the dynamic behaviors of the antenna radomes materials can be gotten effectively. Numerical simulation calculating and experiments show that the presented method not only saves computational efforts, raises analytical efficiency and simulation accuracy but also can provide the theoretical bases for avoiding the weak pose of the antenna radomes materials. It has very important reference value for improving theoretical calculation and design level of the antenna radomes materials.

In an earlier study, a 3-D thermomechanical coupled finite element model was built and experimentally validated to investigate the evolution of the thermal residual stresses and distortions in electron beam additive manufactured Ti-6Al-4V build plates. In this study, an investigation using this robust and accurate model was focused on an efficient preheating method, in which the electron beam quickly scanned across the substrate to preheat the build plate prior to the deposition. Various preheat times, beam powers, scan rates, scanning paths and cooling times (between the end of current preheat scan/deposition layer and the beginning of the next preheat scan/deposition layer) were examined, and the maximum distortion along the centerline of the substrate and the maximum longitudinal residual stress along the normal direction on the middle cross-section of the build plate were quantitatively compared. The results show that increasing preheat times and beam powers could effectively reduce both distortion and residual stress for multiple layers/passes components.

Recent discoveries of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) at nickel-based metals in pressurized water reactors (PWRs) and boiling water reactors (BWRs) have raised concerns about safety and integrity of plant components. It has been recognized that welding residual stress is an important factor causing the issue of SCC in a weldment. In this study, both numerical simulation technology and experimental method were employed to investigate the characteristics of welding residual stress distribution in several typical welded joints, which are used in nuclear power plants. These joints include a thick plate butt-welded Alloy 600 joint, a dissimilar metal J-groove set-in joint and a dissimilar metal girth-butt joint. First of all, numerical simulation technology was used to predict welding residual stresses in these three joints, and the influence of heat source model on welding residual stress was examined. Meanwhile, the influence of other thermal processes such as cladding, buttering and heat treatment on the final residual stresses in the dissimilar metal girth-butt joint was also clarified. Secondly, we also measured the residual stresses in three corresponding mock-ups. Finally, the comparisons of the simulation results and the measured data have shed light on how to effectively simulate welding residual stress in these typical joints.

In order to fully understanding the distribution of residual stress after riveting and the relationship between residual stress and riveting process parameters during riveting, Finite Element Method was used to establish a riveting model. Quasi-static method to solve the convergence difficulties was adopted in riveting process. The riveting process was divided into six stages according to the stress versus time curves. The relationship of residual stress with rivet length and rivet hole clearance were established. The results show numerical simulation is effective for riveting process and can make a construction for the practical riveting.
