A material softening model based on thermal activation energy has been successfully established through tempering experiments in the first part of this study. To apply the model to predicting material softening in hard turned surfaces, the thermal history of work material is needed. In this part, a three-dimensional finite element (FE) model of machining hardened 52100 steel is constructed, and coupled thermal-stress analysis is performed to obtain the material thermal history. Then the material softening model uses the computed thermal history as input to predict the material hardness profiles along the depth into the machined surfaces. Overall, the prediction precisely catches the trend of hardness change along depth and agrees reasonably well with the hardness measurement. What’s more, the sensitivity of material softening to cutting parameters is investigated both quantitatively and qualitatively. Within the investigation range, it is observed that the increase of tool flank wear and feed rate produces severe material softening and a deeper softened layer, while the increase of cutting speed causes significant softening to the surface material but hardly changes the softened depth.

A three-dimensional finite element model of helix double-edge cutting is developed to study the ending milling process of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V. Several mechanics models of milling process, such as material constitutive model, friction model and heat transfer model, are implemented to improve finite element simulating accuracy. A milling force experiment is carried out, and a good agreement between simulation and experimental value is achieved, which proved that the finite element model presented in this paper is correct. Using this finite element model, chip formation and cutting temperature are simulated and analyzed. This work will be a base for process parameter optimization, tool’s optimization selection and design during high speed milling of difficult-to-cut titanium alloy.

This paper proposes a method for the creation of a three-dimensional finite element model representing fiber reinforced insulation materials for the simulation software Siemens NX. VoxTex software, a tool for quantification of µCT images of fibrous materials, is used for the transformation of microtomography images of random fiber reinforced composites into finite element models. The paper describes the numerical tools used for the image quantification and the conversion and illustrates them on several thermal simulations of fiber reinforced insulation blankets filled with low thermal conductive fillers. The experimental measurements validate the prediction of the thermal conductivity.

Abstract The effects of variations in stiffness and geometry on the nonuniformity of tires are investigated by using the finite element analysis. In order to evaluate tire uniformity, a three-dimensional finite element model of the tire with imperfections is developed. This paper considers how imperfections, such as variations in stiffness or geometry and run-out, contribute to detrimental effects on tire nonuniformity. It is found that the radial force variation of a tire with imperfections depends strongly on the geometrical variations of the tire.

A short explanation of the finite element method as a powerful tool for mathematical modeling is provided, and an application using constitutive modeling of the behavior of ligaments is introduced. Few possible explanations of the role of water in ligament function are extracted from two dimensional finite element models of a classical ligament. The modeling is extended to a three dimensional finite element model for the human anterior cruciate ligament. Simulation of ligament force in pitching motion of basketball player is studied in this paper.
