Partially Restrained

Thispaper investigates the behavior prediction of partially restrained (PR) connection with high strength steel bythree-dimensional nonlinear finite-element (FE) analyses. The connectionmodel is such that angle cleats are represented by radiuses corner section shell elements. The full interaction between angle and beam and/or column is simulated by contact element. The analysis results of the moment- rotation relationship and behaviour characteristic of the connection with high strength steel are compared and discussed. It is found that contact element and strength enhancement of the corner regions employed to the model are very important parameters for accurate prediction of PR connection behaviour with cold-formed high strength steel. The moment capacity prediction of top and seat angle connections based on EC3 has been shown to be reasonable compared with FE modeling. Theproposed connection FE model is capable of predicting the ultimate load capacity and the plastic strain pattern with good accuracy. The model presented gives excellent results for increasing the connection capacity significantly due to employed higher strength steel section.

Element Approach

A finite element approach based on Ansys is developed to simulate stress intensity distribution in a three dimensional model of coupling clamp joint, which includes ferrules, pipe caps and bolts. The characteristics of stress intensity distributions of coupling clamp joint under strength pressure loading have been studied by means of the non-linear finite element method. The FE model can also predict the clamp quality and tolerances to be expected under different process conditions and define the most effective process parameters to influence the tolerances. The study could give us a better understanding on the mechanism and basis for optimization design of the coupling clamp joint.

Element Modeling

The finite element modeling and experimental validation of three-dimensional heavy cutting of high strength steel (2.25Cr-1Mo-0.25V) are presented. The commercial software Deform 3D applied for the finite element modeling is studied the effect of feed rate on the principal cutting forces and the temperature fields. The friction between the tool and the chip is assumed to follow a shear model and the local adaptive remeshing technique is used for the formation of chip. The feed rate significantly affects the cutting forces, but slightly influences the maximum temperature of the chip. The simulation results are compared with experimental data and found to be in good agreement.

Local Risk

Resistance spot welding (RSW) is a common joining technique in the production of car bodies in white for example, because of its high degree of automation, its short process time, and its reliability. While different steel grades and even dissimilar metals can be joined with this method, the current paper focuses on similar joints of galvanized advanced high strength steel (AHSS), namely dual phase steel with a yield strength of 1200 MPa and high ductility (DP1200HD). This material offers potential for light-weight design. The current work presents a multi-physical finite element (FE) model of the RSW process which gives insights into the local loading and material state, and which forms the basis for future investigations of the local risk of liquid metal assisted cracking and the effect of different process parameters on this risk. The model covers the evolution of the electrical, thermal, mechanical, and metallurgical fields during the complete spot welding process. Phase transformations like base material to austenite and further to steel melt during heating and all relevant transformations while cooling are considered. The model was fully parametrized based on lab scale material testing, accompanying model-based parameter determination, and literature data, and was validated against a large variety of optically inspected burst opened spot welds and micrographs of the welds.

Edge Drop

High-strength steel is a type of alloy steel that provides better mechanical properties or greater resistance to corrosion than carbon steel. Strip shape is an important factor affecting the strip quality significantly for the rolled products. Because of the complex influence factors of plate shape and profile, shape detection and control technology have not been solved, especially for high strength steel rolling. In this paper, a novel three dimensional finite element simulation of the strip shape and flatness of high strength steel has been proposed. The material constitutive model has been built up based on experimental results through the Gleeble 3800 Thermal Simulator under different temperatures and stain rates. The modelling of roll elastic deformation system, roll gap profile and edge drop has been set up systematically considering the influence of the work roll transverse shifting and roll bending. Results have shown that both higher bending force and more roll shifting will significantly reduce the strip crown, and obtain improved edge drop distribution as well. The proposed numerical model has been validated through hot rolling experiments in 4-high rolling mills.

Composite Connections

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) materials are being widely used for structural applications. Despite the relatively high cost of the CFRP materials, their high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance as well as easy handling and installation have made them widely popular for different civil engineering applications where increased strength and/or ductility is important. This thesis investigates the moment-rotational response of an endplate composite connection including strengthening of the slab by using different sizes and thickness of CFRP sheets in hogging moment regions and different reinforcement bar ratios by using finite element simulations. A three dimensional non-linear model is developed in ANSYS to study the feasibility of decreasing the reinforcing bars in the presence of the CFRP laminate in hogging moment regions of the slab. The verification of the analysis is carried out to calibrate the un-strengthened model by available experimental results obtained from a series of composite connection tests as reported by other researchers. The moment resistance for the partial depth endplate composite connection obtained by ANSYS 12.1 software is found to be very close to the corresponding laboratory test value. From the results it can be observed that applying CFRP sheets to the tension face of composite slab can reduce the amount of steel reinforcement bars required for flexural strength of composite connections.

Abstract In the paper an influence of the cover angle of the pad on temperature fields of the components of the disc brake is studied. A three-dimensional finite element (FE) model of the pad-disc system was developed at the condition of equal temperatures on the contacting surfaces. Calculations were carried out for a single braking process at constant deceleration assuming that the contact pressure corresponds with the cover angle of the pad so that the moment of friction is equal in each case analysed. Evolutions and distributions of temperature both for the contact surface of the pad and the disc were computed and shown.

Milling Operations

Demand for high-strength alloys in aerospace, marine and off-shore industries has grown significantly over last decades, primarily thanks to their high strength, light weight as well as good fatigue and corrosion-resistance properties. However, these materials are extremely difficult to machine with conventional machining methods. Hot machining is an alternative technique used by many researchers for cutting of hard-to-cut materials in turning and milling operations. In this assisted machining technique, an external heat source is used to reduce shear strength of the machined workpiece, enhancing material removal of such alloys. Drilling is one of the most important and basic operations for producing cylindrical holes in machined components. In this work, a three-dimensional finite-element (FE) model of drilling process is developed in a commercial FE software DEFORM 3D. A nonlinear temperature-dependent material behaviour is incorporated in numerical simulations. The effect of an external heat source on thrust forces and torque on a drill-bit was investigated with the developed FE model. Advantages of hot drilling in reducing thrust force and torque reduction are demonstrated.
