In the present work, the description of a numerical model for predicting the electromagnetic composite ring expansion process and validation of a developed numerical code is presented. The strength response of rings materials under high strain rate deformation was described by using the well-known JohnsonCook constitutive relationship. Numerical considerations and experimental validation were performed for a composite ring consisted of a copper drive ring and X37CrMoV51 steel ring specimen. The analyses of the obtained results allow to find out that good convergence of theoretical and experimental data was achieved.

Abstract In this paper, a numerical and experimental investigation is conducted on a novel pneumatic-drive asymmetric Gifford-McMahon cycle cryorefrigerator for the first time. In the pneumatic-drive asymmetric Gifford-McMahon cycle cryorefrigerator, the duration of the assistance space exhaust process is kept higher than that of the assistance space intake process. Therefore, the displacer moves faster at the lower dead centre and slower at the upper dead centre inside the expander cylinder, which makes the duration of expansion process longer. The numerical model solves the governing equations of the refrigerant and dynamics of free-floating displacer iteratively to illustrate the refrigeration mechanisms. Additionally, the model computes the performance parameters of the cryorefrigerator, like refrigerating capacity, and specific refrigerating capacity. By adopting the numerical model, the impact of the loitering time on the thermodynamic processes is elaborated. It is perceived that, both refrigerating capacity and specific refrigerating capacity reduces with an increase in the loitering time. The experimental cooling characteristics are studied for different values of discharge to suction pressure ratios of helium compressor.

In the last decades, the increasing use of laminate materials, such as carbon fibre reinforced plastics, in several engineering applications has pushed researchers to deeply investigate their mechanical behavior, especially in consideration of the delamination process, which could affect their performance. The need for improving the capability of the current instruments in predicting some collapse or strength reduction due to hidden damages leads to the necessity to combine numerical models with experimental campaigns. The validation of the numerical models could give useful information about the mechanical response of the materials, providing predictive data about their lifetime. The purpose of the delamination tests is to collect reliable results by monitoring the delamination growth of the simulated in situ cracking and use them to validate the numerical models. In this work, an experimental campaign was carried out on high performance composite laminates with respect to the delamination mode I; subsequently, a numerical model representative of the experimental setup was built. The ANSYS Workbench Suite was used to simulate the delamination phenomena and modeFRONTIER was applied for the numerical/experimental calibration of the constitutive relationship on the basis of the delamination process, whose mechanism was implemented by means of the cohesive zone material (CZM) model.

In hypersonic flight of reentry vehicles the radio blackout is a typical problem, in particular because it arises during a critical mission operation point. To mitigate this radio blackout the magnetic window concept is proposed. In this work a numerical model is presented to accurately simulate the effect of a magnetic field interacting with ionized plasma surrounding the vehicle. The numerical model is based on the MHD flow equations. Initially, the code is validated for pure hypersonic gas dynamics. Diverse high resolution spatial discretisation schemes, within a Finite Volume framework, are analyzed for robustness. Afterwards, the numerical code is further validated for MHD flows using the well-known Hartmann case. A very good comparison between numerical and analytical results is verified. This allows a proper validation of the method in terms of Lorentz force, in particular under low-magnetic Reynolds number conditions. A very tough test-case is finally computed, being typical of a reentry capsule geometry. The accuracy of the model is then verified for different applied magnetic fields.
