The paper introduces the shrinkage center conception and simplified model of the material solidification. Starting with a micro unit, the paper builds the force model, and derives the formula of the stress-strain principles on the basis of the force balance function, relationship between the strain and displacement and the unit boundary conditions. The theoretic analysis reveals the influence factors and the quantitative expression affecting parts deformation. At last, two special cases, separating layers and complete adhesive layers, are discussed to display the stress-strain distribution under such conditions.

By the force analysis of alfalfa grass powder material layer in work area of circular mould pelletizing system, grass pellet briquetting mechanism when alfalfa grass powder pass work area was explained, function relationship between the thickness of material layer and the circular mould angle was established, force balance equation of material layer differentiation unit under the general conditions was deduced, and the total force of material layer applied by circular mould was obtained. Research result has practical meaning for guiding the process test of grass pellet product and optimizing product structure, and has a certain theoretical reference value for in-depth revealing granulating forming mechanism of hoop standard granulator.

In this paper, novel pressure sensors approach is proposed and described. Active devices and oscillating circuits are directly integrated on very thin dielectric membranes as pressure transducers. Involved patterning of the membrane is supposed to cause a drop of mechanical robustness. Finite elements simulations are performed in order to better understand stress/strain distribution and as an attempt to explain the early burst of patterned membranes. Smart circuit designs are reported as solutions with high sensitivity and reduced footprint on membranes.

Numerical simulation of metal flow behaviour was studied using DeformTM3D software. The simulation process was done on X20 steel taken from the software database at 1073-1273K temperature, 10mm/s die speed, and 67% height reduction. From the simulation results, forging load, damage, and stress/strain distributions were obtained. The results show that the forging load increased with a decrease in temperature or decreased with an increase in temperature. The maximum damage values increased as the temperature increased. The obtained maximum damage values were 0.42 (1073K), 0.43 (1173K), and 0.45 (1273K). The damage distribution was inhomogeneous in the deformed cylinder. The stress/strain distributions were inhomogeneous in the deformed cylinder. The location of the maximum strain was at the centre of the deformed cylinder while the maximum stress occurred at the die-cylinder contact surfaces. The study showed that flow stress behaviour can be predicted using finite element method. This shows the feasibility of applying the finite element analysis to analyse the forging process.

The softening kinetics of a 0.19 wt% C 1.5 wt% Mn steel deformed at two intercritical temperatures have been characterised using the stress relaxation technique. Recrystallisation of intercritical austenite has been modelled using a single grain model (Chen et al., 2002 [1]), whilst recovery of both intercritical austenite and ferrite has been modelled using a model in the literature [Verdier et al., 1999 [2]). The models are combined to predict the overall softening kinetics with a rule of mixtures formulation. Comparison of the model with experiment shows significant deviations. The reasons are discussed with reference to the mixture rule and to the local stress-strain distribution which exists in the deformed samples. A simple modification to the model is proposed which takes into account the effect of a local stress distribution in deformed austenite.
