The piezoelectric coefficients of 1-3 piezoelectric tubular composites are studied. Taking into account the non-uniform electric field distribution in piezoelectric tube, the piezoelectric coefficients as functions of volume fraction, aspect ratio, tube density and matrix materials were discussed. By means of finite element software, the relationship between piezoelectric coefficients and ceramic volume fraction was derived to validate theoretical results. This research provides theoretical guidance and basis for the design of 1-3 piezoelectric tubular composites.

The tensile test of NOL ring composites with different interply hybrid ratio is simulated by finite element software. The relationship between the stress of Naval Ordnance Laboratory(NOL) ring and the volume fraction of UHMWPEF is linear when the matrix suffering from the equal loading, but tower suddenly appears at the point of 56.25% which is about the critical volume fraction. The critical volume fraction of hybrid NOL ring is figured out on the basis of the constant strain model. By contrast, the results of the Finite Element Method (FEM) and constant strain model have subtle differences. Tooth contact analysis can exactly predict the stress of the interply hybrid NOL ring and the critical volume fraction of GF in interply hybrid NOL ring which has lower breaking strain than UHMWPEF does.

A novel modeling method was proposed to provide an improved representation of the actual microstructure of TiB/Ti-6Al-4V discontinuously-reinforced titanium matrix composite (DRTMC). Based on the Thiessen polygon structure, the representative volume element (RVE) containing the complex microstructures of the DRTMC was first generated. Thereafter, by using multiple user-defined subroutines in the commercial finite element software ABAQUS, the application of asymmetric mesh periodic boundary conditions on the RVE was realized, and the equivalent elastic modulus of the DRTMC was determined according to the homogenization method. Through error analyses on the experimental and calculated results regarding the equivalent elastic parameters of the DRTMC, the rationality of generating the DRTMC finite element model by using the present method was validated. Finally, simulations based on four types of network-like models revealed that the present simplifications to the particle shape of the reinforcement phase had less of an influence on the overall composite strength. Moreover, the present study demonstrates that the DRTMC enhancement is mainly attributed to the matrix strengthening, rather than the load-transferring mechanism. The strengthening influences of the distribution forms of the reinforcement phases, including their distribution density and orientation, were studied further. It was found that both the higher distribution density and limited distribution orientation of the particles would increase the probability of overlapping and merging between particles, and; therefore, higher strength could be yielded when the volume fraction of the reinforcement phase reached a certain threshold. Owing to the versatility of the developed methods and programs, this work can provide a useful reference for the characterization of the mechanical properties of other composites types.

Primary mirror’ surface figure is affected by supporting structure obviously. Especially for large-aperture telescope, the surface figure is significant because of primary mirror’ self-weight. For the requirement of the usage, it’s necessary to minimize the surface figure from self-weight by reasonable supporting scheme. The text optimized support point and force of radial support to minimize the surface figure by finite-element software. At the same time, it studied the relationship between support point and counterweight to reduce the weight of support structure. At last, it gave the optimal solution.

Cable Stayed Bridges

Cable-stayed bridges have seen a wider application in recent years, with many having longer and longer spans. Modern cable-stayed bridges are using numerous cables to support the stiffing girders. Many cable dampers are installed to mitigate cable vibration. This paper focuses the attention on the effect of cable damper on the dynamic characteristics of the whole cable-stayed bridge, especially the modal damping. A practical model comprised of the cable, girder, and damper is developed to analyze the relationship between system modal damping and the performance of cable damper with complex mode method. A test model with cable, girder and damper was made to verify the theoretical results. A finite element model of a simplified cable-stayed bridge based on test model is adopted to assess the effects of cable dampers on the anti-seismic performance and wind-resistant behavior of the cable-stayed bridge. The results show that the cable dampers of cable-stayed bridge can increase the modal damping of the whole bridge.

Abstract Tool parameters play a vital role in the mechanical interlock formation during the flat clinching process, to understand the influence of tool parameters on the interlock formation, the finite element software DEFORM-2D was used to build the numerical model of the flat clinching process, and the numerical model was verified by the experiment. The influences of the punch radius, punch fillet radius, and blank holder radius on the interlock formation of the clinched joint were investigated using the numerical model. Then, the relationship between the punch radius and blank holder radius was studied. The results showed that the interlock gradually increases with the increase of the blank holder radius, after that, the interlock begins to decrease. To maximize the interlock, the punch radius and the blank holder radius should be increased simultaneously. It can be concluded that the blank holder radius and the punch radius should keep in a linear relationship when designing the geometric dimensions of the flat clinch tools, which can promote the application of flat clinching process in car body manufacturing.

Advanced high strength steels cover a vast range of applications more specifically in aerospace and oil industry where large deformation of a material is desired in order to attain a specified shape and geometry of the product. The main reason behind their successful implementation is having an optimum combination of strength and formability. Austenite based twinning induced plasticity steel lies in the second generation and has excellent strength-cum-formability combination among the group of advanced high strength steels. The stress assisted phase transformation from austenite to martensite, which is known as twinning, found to be principal reason behind an enhancement of these properties. This work is aimed to investigate an elastic-plastic behavior of an austenite dominated steel, which undergoes slip and mechanical twinning modes of deformation. Initially, a micromechanical model of twining induced plasticity phenomenon is developed using crystal plasticity theory. Then, the developed model is numerically implemented into finite element software ABAQUS through a user-defined material sub-routine. Finally, finite element simulations are done for single and poly-crystal austenite subjected to combined load. This replicates the complex loading condition which exists in material forming processes like pipe expansion, extrusion, rolling. The variation in stress-strain response, magnitude of shear strain, and volume fraction of twinned martensite are plotted and analyzed.

RVE combined with finite element analysis (FEA) is a very popular method to predict the mechanical property of the composite reinforced by short fibers. In the conventional method, generally the “tie” approach is used. By this method, the FE model with high fiber aspect ratio can not be achieved and the non-convergence of the numerical calculation may appear because of the complex mesh. The embedded element techinique is considered to be a replaceable method . Using this method, the mechanical behavior of composite with high fiber aspect ratio would be simulated. Therefore, in this study, the 3D solid element was employed for the FE model with multi cylinder particles. The comparisions of the Mise stress and the displacement between the embedded and conventional method indicate that compared with the stress transfer, the simulated result of composite stiffness is more accurate. In addition, the effects of model size, fiber orientated angle, fiber volume fraction and fiber aspect ratio were investigated. The numerical results were compared with the Mori-Tanaka model and the good agreements verify the applicability of the embedded element technique we studied in this paper.
