In this study, finite element analysis was made to predict the tensile and compressive behaviors of aluminum foam material. The predicted tensile and compressive behaviors were compared with those determined from the tensile and compressive tests. X-ray imaging technique was used to determine internal structure of aluminum foam material. That is, X-ray computed tomography (CT) was used to model the porosities of the material. Three-dimensional finite element modeling was made by stacking two-dimensional tomography of aluminum foam material determined from CT images. The stackings of CT images were processed by three-dimensional modeling program. The results showed that the tensile stress-strain curve predicted from the finite element analysis was similar to that determined by the experiment. The simulated compressive stress-strain curve also showed similar tendency with that of experiment up to about 0.4 strain but exhibited a different behavior from the experimental one after 0.4 strain. The discrepancy of compressive stress-strain curves in a high strain range was associated with the contact of aluminum foam walls broken by the large deformation.

Industries have shown interest in the use of dissimilar metals to make corrosion-resistant materials combined with good mechanical properties in marine environments. Explosive welding can be considered a good method for joining dissimilar materials to prevent galvanic corrosion. The aim of the present study was to simulate the non-linear behaviour of a Ti6Al4V/Inconel 625 welded joint obtained by explosion welding from the values of the tensile ultimate strength and yielding strength of the parent materials. The present study compared the stress-strain curve from tensile loading obtained by the non-linear finite element analysis with the experimental stress-strain curve of a bimetallic joint. The applied method provides useful information for the development of models and the prediction of the structural behaviour of Ti6Al4V/Inconel 625 explosive welded joints.

The process of precision forging has been developed recently because of its advantages of giving high production rates and improved strength. For complete filling up, predicting the power requirement and final shape are important features of the forging process. A finite element method is used to investigate the forging force, the final shape and the stress distribution of the parking sensor shell forging. The stress-strain curve of AL-6082 is obtained by the computerized screw universal testing machine. The friction factor between AL-6082 alloy and die material (SKD11) are determined by using ring compression test. Stress-strain curve and fiction factor are then applied to the finite element analysis of the parking sensor shell forging. Maximum forging load, effective stress distribution and shape dimensions are determined of the parking sensor shell forging, using the finite element analysis. Then the parking sensor shells are formed by the forging machine. Finally, the experimental data are compared with the results of the current simulation for the forging force and shape dimensions of the parking sensor shell.

Many thermomechanical reliability studies on microelectronics and microsystems have relied upon computational analysis, since experimental work is rather difficult and very time-consuming. For computational analysis, it is essential to use as input accurate material properties; if not, the results of a reliability analysis may be very inaccurate. However, it is still quite difficult to arrive at unified material properties for modeling microelectronic assemblies because of the absence of standards for micro-material characterization, the difference between bulk and in-situ material properties, and so forth. The goal of this study was to determine the uniaxial stress-strain curve of a solder in a flip-chip assembly, using experimental measurements and finite-element analysis (FEA) of the solder's thermal deformation characteristics with increasing temperature. The thermal deformation of flip-chip solder joints was measured by electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI). For the scale of evaluation required, the measurement magnification was modified to allow its application to micromaterials by using a long-working-distance microscope, iris and zoom lens. Local deformation of solder balls could be measured at submicrometer scale, and stress-strain curves could be determined using the measured thermal deformation as input data for finite-element analysis. The procedure was applied to an Sn-36Pb-2Ag flip-chip solder joint.

Abstract This paper presents a methodology for analyzing structures with random stress-strain behavior. Uncertainties in the stress-strain curve of a structure are simulated by letting a small number of engineering parameters which describe the stress-strain curve be random. Certain constraints are imposed on the engineering parameters in order to have a physically realizable material. A general procedure to handle correlation among the stress-strain parameters has also been developed. This methodology has been integrated into the NESSUS (Numerical Evaluation of Stochastic Structures Under Stress) probabilistic structural analysis system. With this system, probabilistic finite element analysis of structures with random stress-strain behavior can be analyzed in an accurate, automated fashion. An example problem is presented to demonstrate the capabilities of the code. The problem analyzed is that of a pressure vessel fabricated with a material exhibiting random stress-strain behavior.

The mechanical behaviour of a high performance polycaprolactone based polyurethane elastomer (PCL) up to large strain levels, cyclic loading and equibiaxial stress has been assessed. The PCL can be categorised as a rubber-like material, thus, showing nonlinear stress-strain behaviour. The materials elastic network is based on a high molecular weight PCL polyol which gives the material its elastomeric behaviour similar to polyurethanes. In this work, mechanical testing capturing the major features of the stress-strain curve under different loading conditions is performed. Both, uni-axial loading-unloading curves and bulge test are thoroughly studied through the addition of digital image correlation (DIC) to measure the strain field. Results show the presence of hysteresis and loading configuration dependence. Then, two well-known hyperelastic constitutive models, the Arruda-Boyce eight-chain and Bergström-Boyce, were fitted to the uni-axial monotonic and cyclic test data and compared to the bulge test experimental results through finite element analysis (FEA) in Abaqus.
