For ring rolling without axial rolls, how to effectively suppress axial spread has become an important subject. In the paper, a reliable coupled thermo-mechanical three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model for hot rolling of large rings is developed. Spread evolution of titanium alloy large rings with different sizes are explored and compared based the developed model. The main results show that (1) the spread in a ring takes on an axisymmetric distribution after the first revolution of the ring. (2) with the equivalent ratio of feed amount per revolution decreasing, the peak spread transfers from the outer layer to the inner layer for rings with different sizes.

Predominant Effect

For hot rolling of titanium alloy large rings, rolling force is very important for designing, choosing and optimizing of processing plan and rolling mill. In the paper, the average shape parameter of the deformation zone of ring rolling is presented first, and then a reliable coupled thermo-mechanical three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model for the process is developed. Finally, influences of the blank outer radius R0 and inner radius r0 on rolling force are discussed and compared for exploring blank thickness effects. The main results show that decreasing the blank thickness by decreasing R0 or increasing r0 leads to a saving of rolling force, while R0 has a predominant effect than r0.

For hot ring rolling of large parts, rolling force and moment are of significance for designing, choosing and optimizing of rolling die and mill. In the study, the average shape parameter of the deformation zone of ring rolling is presented first, and then a reliable coupled thermo-mechanical three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model for the process is developed. Finally, the influences of geometric factors on rolling force and moment during hot ring rolling of titanium alloy large parts are explored. The main results show that increasing the ratio of driver roll radius to idle roll radius or decreasing the average radius of blank is beneficial to a saving of rolling force and moment, while the axial height of blank has a little influence.

The Relationship

How to effectively reduce spread is an important subject in the area of ring rolling. In the paper, a reliable coupled thermo-mechanical three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model for hot rolling of large rings is developed. The relationship between spread and the equivalent shape parameters of the deformation zone is discussed. Variations of spread with relative reduction Rr during hot rolling of titanium alloy large rings with different sizes are analyzed and compared using FE simulation. The main results reveal that (1) the spread in a ring exhibits an axisymmetric distribution after the first revolution of the ring. (2) the peak spread appears in the inside or outside layer of a ring, and the minimum spread is found in the middle layer. (2) as Rr increases, the spread increases and the end-plane quality of the ring reduces.

Fibre Reinforced Polymer

Fibre reinforced cementitious matric (FRCM) is a recent application of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement, developed to overcome several limitations associated with the use of organic adhesive [e.g. epoxies] in FRPs. It consists of two dimensional FRP mesh saturated with a cement mortar, which is inorganic in nature and compatible with concrete and masonry substrates. In this study, a robust three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model has been developed to study the behaviour of slender reinforced concrete columns confined by FRCM jackets, and loaded concentrically and eccentrically. The model accounts for material nonlinearities in column core and cement mortar, composite failure of FRP mesh, and global buckling. The model response was validated against several laboratory tests from literature, comparing the ultimate load, load-lateral deflection and failure mode. Maximum divergence between numerical and experimental results was 12%. Following the validation, the model will be used later in a comprehensive parametric analysis to gain a profound knowledge of the strengthening system, and examine the effects of several factors expected to influence the behaviour of confined member.

Spine Segment

An experimentally validated three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model of the ligamentous L3–S1 segment was used to study the effects of artificial facet designs on the segment biomechanics (motion, facet loads, and stresses). The intact model was modified to simulate several artificial facet designs across the L4–L5 segment including capping with and without screws and pedicle screw based designs with sliding articulating surfaces. For the pedicle screw based design, the effect of increasing the connecting shaft thickness and increasing width surrounding the pedicle screw, butted against the vertebral pedicle for further support, was studied. All of the FE models were evaluated in response to 6 Nm moment in extension, flexion, bending, and rotation. The predicted increases in motion, compared to the intact case, were smaller. The predicted facet loads decreased up to 25.7% in extension and 25.1% in bending at the implanted level as compared to intact spine segment. For all of the loading modes, the stresses in both implant designs were less than the yield stress of titanium. Therefore, the implants are unlikely to fail. Additional cadaver and other experimental protocols are essential for the evaluations of the most appropriate designs identified through the FE investigations.

Forming Condition

For hot rolling of large rings, the friction between a ring and rolls plays an important role in maintaining the stable forming of the process and quality of ring parts. The reasonable range of friction coefficient is determined analytically based on the stable forming condition, and a reliable coupled thermo-mechanical three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model for the process is developed. The effect of friction on hot rolling of titanium alloy large rings with different sizes are explored, and the results obtained show that as friction coefficient increases, different rings have similar variation law: less metal flows to the axial direction of a ring and the spread distribution at the end plane of a ring becomes more uniform; the strain and temperature distributions tend to be less uniform; rolling force and rolling moment have little change.

The Difference

Injuries of the base of the fifth metatarsal are among the most common of all skeletal injuries of the foot. The fracture is considered by previous research to be an avulsion due to the slip fascia, however, the mechanism of the plantar slip fascia’s function still not very clear. In this study, a detailed three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model was developed by reconstruction of CT images. A sensitivity study was conducted to evaluate the effect of varying stiffness of the slip fascia on the fifth metatarsal’s deformation. The results showed that the largest vertical displacement was appeared in the metatarsal’s head part, and the difference was up to 10.5%, while the Young’s modulus of the slip fascia increasing from 50MPa to 500MPa.

Bending Behavior

Umbilical is an important equipment in the subsea production to supply a connection between the floater and the subsea well. Analyzing strength and fatigue behaviors under bending is a key requirement to assure safety. An analytical model is proposed for predicting the bending behavior of a steel tube wounded helically around a frictionless cylinder. A full three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model of an umbilical is developed by considering the frictions and contacts among its components. The numerical results of the bending stress of a steel tube were validated against that of the analytical model. The impacts of friction coefficients on the bending stress, contact pressure, and friction stress have been further investigated by the established FE model.

3D Finite Element

In this paper, the three-layer model of ballasted railway track with discrete supports is analyzed to access its applicability. The model is referred as the discrete support model and abbreviated by DSM. For calibration, a 3D finite element (FE) model is created and validated by experiments. Formulas available in the literature are analyzed and new formulas for identifying parameters of the DSM are derived and validated over the range of typical track properties. These formulas are determined by fitting the results of the DSM to the 3D FE model using metaheuristic optimization. In addition, the range of applicability of the DSM is established. The new formulas are presented as a simple computational engineering tool, allowing one to calculate all the data needed for the DSM by adopting the geometrical and basic mechanical properties of the track. It is demonstrated that the currently available formulas have to be adapted to include inertial effects of the dynamically activated part of the foundation and that the contribution of the shear stiffness, being determined by ballast and foundation properties, is essential. Based on this conclusion, all similar models that neglect the shear resistance of the model and inertial properties of the foundation are unable to reproduce the deflection shape of the rail in a general way.
