Element Simulation

In a three-dimensional Finite-Element-Simulation of shot peening, a combined isotropickinematic viscoplastic material description was introduced in order to describe the cyclic softening effects during peening. After verifying the model in the simulation of push-pull tests at different strain amplitudes it could be used for the shot peening simulation. The simulated residual stress profile is compared with experimental results determined by X-ray diffraction and with simulated results of a simpler isotropic viscoplastic material model.

Ultrasonic Shot Peening

Ultrasonic shot peening can be used to strengthen mechanical parts. Its equipment structure is compact, which is convenient for incorporated into production line. It is fitting to facilitate operation and high reproducibility without dust pollution and noise. The finite element simulation method of ultrasonic shot peening further contributes to the development of ultrasonic shot peening technology. In the present work, finite element simulation method was adopted to establish a three-dimensional numerical model for analyzing the strengthening mechanism of ultrasonic shot peening. By choosing reasonable material model and different combination of parameters (such as treated material, diameter of shots, peening velocity), the curves of residual stress vs. depth of alloy materials were obtained, including the relationships between the peak value and depth of residual compression stress and peening velocity.

Fracture toughness of ferritic steel in the ductile-to-brittle transition zone is scattered and probabilistic owing to embrittlement. Use of master curve along with the reference temperature ( T0) adopted in ASTM E-1921 is widely accepted for characterization of this embrittlement. Reference temperature is a measure of embrittlement in the temperature scale. Factors affecting fracture toughness like geometry and loading rate are expected to influence the reference temperature. In the present study, the role of the loading rate on the reference temperature for 20MnMoNi55 steel is assessed experimentally using compact tension C(T) and three-point bend (TPB) specimens. Finite element simulation of tests at different loading rates and cryogenic temperature are carried out using a suitable viscoplastic material model that incorporates flow characteristics of the material for varying displacement rates and cryogenic temperatures. Results from simulation studies are compared with experimental ones.

Welding Processes

Current simulations of welding distortion and residual stress have considered only the local weld zone. A large elastic structure surrounding a weld, however, can couple with the welding operation to produce a final weld state much different from that resulting when a smaller structure is welded. The effect of this coupling between structure and weld has the potential of dominating the final weld distortion and residual stress state. This paper employs both two-and three-dimensional finite element models of a circular cylinder and stiffening ring structure to investigate the interaction of a large structure on weld parameters such as weld gap clearance (fitup) and fixturing. The finite element simulation considers the full thermo-mechanical problem, uncoupling the thermal from the mechanical analysis. The thermal analysis uses temperature-dependent material properties, including latent heat and nonlinear heat convection and radiation boundary conditions. The mechanical analysis uses a thermal-elastic-plastic constitutive model and an element “birth” procedure to simulate the deposition of weld material. The effect of variations of weld gap clearance, fixture positions, and fixture types on residual stress states and distortion are examined. The results of these analyses indicate that this coupling effect with the surrounding structure should be included in numerical simulations of welding processes, and that full three-dimensional models are essential in predicting welding distortion. Elastic coupling with the surrounding structure, weld fitup, and fixturing are found to control residual stresses, creating substantial variations in highest principal and hydrostatic stresses in the weld region. The position and type of fixture are shown to be primary determinants of weld distortion.
