Composite Joint

The steel tube confined concrete (STCC) column exhibits excellent mechanical performance. A 3-D finite element model (FEM) using ABAQUS was established to simulate the performance of the composite joints with STCC column and RC beam. Accurate material model, rational element type, and solution method were discussed. Some STCC columns and composite joints with concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) column and STCC column were modeled based on the model, respectively. The results from FEM are good agreement with the test results. The mechanism of the composite joint was investigated based on the FEM.

Three Dimensional Finite Element

A three-dimensional finite element model of a three-bolt, single-lap composite joint is constructed using the non-linear finite element code MSC.Marc. The model is validated against an experiment where the load distribution in the joint is measured using instrumented bolts. Two different joint configurations are examined, one with neat-fit clearances at each bolt-hole and another with a 240 µm clearance at one hole with neat-fits at the others. Bearing and by-pass stresses are extracted from the model and used in conjunction with published bearing/by-pass diagrams to predict the failure load, mode and location for the joints. It is shown that the proposed model accurately predicts the failure behaviour of the joints, as determined from experiments on three-bolt joints loaded to failure. It is also shown that introducing a clearance into one hole significantly changes the failure sequence, but does not affect the ultimate failure load, mode or location. The proposed method demonstrates a simple approach to predicting damage in complex multi-bolt composite joints.

Abstract Hollow concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) member is mainly adopted in power transmission and transformation structures, but when it is used in the superstructure with complex stress, the hollow CFST member has a low bearing capacity and is prone to brittle failure. To improve the mechanical performance of hollow CFST members, a new type of reinforced hollow high strength concrete-filled square steel tube (RHCFSST) was proposed, and its axial compression performance was researched. 18 finite element analysis (FEA) models of axially loaded RHCFSST stub columns were established through FEA software ABAQUS. The whole stress process of composite columns was studied, and parametric studies were carried out to analyze the mechanical performance of the member. Parameters of the steel strength, steel ratio, deformed bar and sandwich concrete strength were varied. Based on the simulation results, the stress process of members can be divided into four stages: elastic stage, elastoplastic stage, descending stage and gentle stage. With the increase of steel strength, steel ratio, the strength of sandwich concrete and the addition of deformed bars, the ultimate bearing capacity of members also increases. Additionally, the increment of those parameters will improve the ductility of the member, except for the sandwich concrete strength.

When strong exercise on human being body, respectively, under knees 30°, 60°,90°, using PRO/E5.0 software to establish the transverse patella fracture and anti-shearing force patella claws 3D models, then the two structure models were assembled and imported into ABAQUS10.1 software to establish the finite element model of patellar fracture fixed within patella claw, and analyzed the mechanical performance in perforce finite element model. Under the same boundary conditions, the maximum displacement and deformation of each components were different at every flexion angle. Compared with anti-shearing force patella claw and AO tensile force girdle, the patella claw with stronger resistance to tension and anti-shearing force was more stable. Deformation and displacement of patella claw in accordance with biomechanical research result that is needed by clinical. Its stability will satisfy clinical requirements for functional exercise.

The accuracy of a finite element model for design and analysis of a metal forging operation is limited by the incorporated material model’s ability to predict deformation behavior over a wide range of operating conditions. Current rheological models prove deficient in several respects due to the difficulty in establishing complicated relations between many parameters. More recently, artificial neural networks (ANN) have been suggested as an effective means to overcome these difficulties. In the present work, a previously developed ANN with the ability to determine flow stresses based on strain, strain rate, and temperature is incorporated with finite element code. Utilizing this linked approach, a preliminary model for forging an aluminum wheel is developed. This novel method, along with a conventional approach, is then measured against the forging process as it is currently performed in actual production.

Abstract Hybrid Friction Diffusion Bonding (HFDB) is a solid-state welding process that proved its capability of producing sound tube-tubesheet joints, but with limitations on tube thickness (up to 1mm) and tube-tubesheet materials. In the petrochemical industry, there is a great demand for the use of carbon steel shell and tube heat exchangers. To investigate the feasibility of HFDB techniques in joining thicker tube (i.e 2.1 mm) on tubesheet joint, a three-dimensional thermo-mechanical finite element model (FEM) was developed and solved using ABAQUS (commercial finite element analysis (FEA) software). The model was used to predict the temperature distribution and developed stresses during and after welding. The model considered temperature dependent material properties while Johnson-cook model was used to govern material plastic flow behavior. In this paper,19 mm (¾ in) ASTM 179 cold-drawn carbon steel tube into an ASTM A516 Grade 70 tubesheet joints was simulated. Results are validated based on temperature measurements, which was found in good agreement with experimental results. The developed model can be used to optimize processing parameters (i.e. tool rotational speed, dwell time “holding time”, and forging force.. etc) and study their effect on material flow and developed stresses.

In this study, the crashworthiness of a subway train was assessed by establishing a finite element model for the first three carriages of the train and the track using the Hypermesh software. By utilising the *MAT_HONEYCOMB material model, a honeycomb in an anti-climbing energy-absorbing device was simulated. Moreover, the process of a subway train – travelling at a speed of 25 km/h – colliding with another identical train in a stationary and non-braking state was simulated by employing the finite element analysis software Hypermesh and LS-DYNA. The process of simulation analysis was divided into two parts: (1) analysis of the anti-climbing energy-absorbing devices under static compression for the investigation of energy absorption and (2) collision analysis of the whole train. The contributions of the proposed energy-absorbing structure – at the end of driver’s cab, the coupler and draft gears on each section – to the overall energy absorption in a train collision were calculated. Furthermore, based on the EN15227 standard, the crashworthiness of the train with respect to the survival space for occupants, train acceleration and uplift of wheels relative to the track was evaluated. The coupler of the first carriage fails in a collision at 25 km/h, and the coupler and draft gear are the main energy-absorbing devices. *MAT_HONEYCOMB was used to define the honeycomb materials in anti-climbing energy-absorbing devices and could simulate the mechanical performance thereof. The crashworthiness of the train meets the relevant standard requirements.

An innovative beam-to-column composite joint with adapter-bracket was proposed and its behavior was investigated through finite element analysis. The special adapter-bracket is to facilitate the assembly of the steel box beam and the concrete-filled steel tube column through high-strength blind bolts. In the adapter-bracket, two endplates are welded to the beam and bolted to the column, respectively. First, two finite element models of the bolted extended endplate joint were developed in ABAQUS and validated by available experimental results. Then, based on modified models, parametric analyses were conducted to evaluate the novel joint performance, in terms of the initial stiffness, rotation capacity, moment capacity, failure mode, and joint classification. The variables included flange thickness, endplate thickness, and bolt size. Results demonstrated that the joint behavior was significantly affected by the flange thickness, the endplate-A thickness, and bolt size while slightly influenced by the endplate-B thickness. Additionally, these joints had favorable rotation and moment capacity.
