Drawability assessment of BCC steel sheet by using elastic/crystalline viscoplastic finite element analyses

Elastic/crystalline viscoplastic finite element (FE) analyses were carried out to asses the drawability of three kinds of BCC steel sheets, such as mild steel, dual-phase steel and high-strength steel, in the cylindrical cup deep drawing processes. In this study, the crystal orientations were obtained by X-ray diffraction and orientation distribution function (ODF) analyses. The measured ODF results have revealed clearly different textures of sheets, featured by orientation fibers, skeleton lines and selected orientations in Euler angle coordinate space, which can be related to the plastic anisotropy. An orientation probability assignment method, which can be categorized as an inhomogenized material modeling, was used in this FE modeling. The orientations were determined from the measured ODF and assigned to FE integration points one by one. Numbers of integration points, which represent crystallites and can rotate individually, are employed to represent textures of the sheet metals for taking account of the initial and evolutional plastic anisotropy without introducing Taylor or Sachs homogenization assumption. The FE analyses showed how the fiber textures affect the strain localization and earing in the deep drawing operation. It was confirmed by comparison with experimental results that this FE code could predict the extreme strain localization and earing with good accuracy and assess the sheet drawability.     

Moving finite element analyses for fast crack propagation in sheet metal

The conventional fracture mechanics parameters K_IC and/or J_IC are used as fracture toughness criteria necessary for the start of crack propagation under plane strain conditions. These criteria are defined only for small-scale yielding or infinitesimal deformation, though actual fractures involve large plastic deformation. Hence, measurement of fracture resistance during crack propagation is difficult with the conventional parameters.Estimating the mechanical conditions around the propagating crack tip is very useful for reducing damage during accidental fracture. Therefore, establishing a criterion for crack propagation with large-scale yielding is very important for not only science fields but also some industrial fields. For fractures with large-scale yielding, micro- or mesoscale damage processes in the crack tip vicinity have to be considered.In this study, Gurson's constitutive model for void occurrence and growth was introduced into the finite element method to discuss failure behavior in the crack tip vicinity. Fast crack propagation behavior under high-speed deformation was simulated using the moving finite element method based on the Delaunay automatic triangulation. The excellent far-field integral path independence of the T* integral was verified for pure mode I fast crack propagation and non-straight crack propagation under mixed mode conditions. The void growth conditions near the crack propagation path were evaluated.

Pipe crack identification based on finite element method of second generation wavelets

In this paper, a new method is presented to identify crack location and size, which is based on stress intensity factor suitable for pipe structure and finite element method of second generation wavelets (SGW-FEM). Pipe structure is dispersed into a series of nested thin-walled pipes. By making use of stress intensity factor of the thin-walled pipe, a new calculation method of crack equivalent stiffness is proposed to solve the stress intensity factor of the pipe structure. On this basis, finite element method of second generation wavelets is used to establish the dynamic model of cracked pipe. Then we combine forward problem with inverse problem in order to establish quantitative identification method of the crack based on frequency change, which provides a non-destructive testing technology with vibration for the pipe structure. The efficiency of the proposed method is verified by experiments.

Design of interference fits via finite element method

Studies of interference fits in ring gear-wheel connections show that the traditional design method based on thick-wall cylinder theory has some limitations. Application of the finite element method (FEM) for the three-dimensional stress analysis of interference fitted connections gives more complete and accurate results than the traditional method. An improved design method utilizes two safety factors, λ_s and λ_p, providing a new approach for evaluating the quality of interference fits. A tolerancing method utilizing the I_max and I_min curves provides a quantitative guideline for interference fit design. The selective assembly method combined with the FEM-based method for interference fit design provides an effective approach to achieve more reliable interference-fitted connections and more precise assembly with lower manufacturing cost.

Experimental based finite element simulation of cold isostatic pressing of metal powders

The present work addresses the various ingredients required for reliable finite element simulations of cold isostatic pressing (CIP) of metal powders. A plastic constitutive model for finite deformation is presented and implemented into an explicit finite element (FE) code. The FE implementation is verified so that numerical errors (both temporal and spatial errors) are kept under control. Thereafter, uniaxial die compaction experiments are performed required for determining the material parameters in the constitutive model. Subsequently they are applied for the simulation of a “complex” CIP process. The experimental observations of the complex CIP process were used to validate the overall method by comparing the FE results (final dimensions and average relative density) to the experimental observations. The numerical results (final dimensions and relative density) are in good agreement with the experimental observations.     

Numerical analysis of projection welding on auto-body sheet metal using a coupled finite element method

A comprehensive finite element method employing a subroutine to link up submodules of commercial code ANSYS is proposed to perform analysis of projection welding in quantitative detail. In order to solve the complexity due to dynamic changes in heat and electrical current flow paths, as well as temperature-dependent material properties, information about contact interfaces and the geometry of the projection areas have been taken into account. By updating parameter information among these submodules in an incremental manner, a truly thermal-electrical-mechanical coupled numerical analysis is realized for projection welding simulation. A case study of an automotive door assembly welding process is carried out and a series of experiments is conducted to confirm the validity of the newly developed method. The agreement between the experimental and numerical results is satisfactory, indicating that the incrementally coupled finite element method may be suitable for projection welding research. Finally, future work to extend this method in optimizing projection welding process design is also presented.

A new approach to process optimal design in non-steady forming of porous metals is presented. In this approach, the optimal design problem involving diverse objective functions and design variables is formulated on the basis of the finite element process model, and a derivative-based approach is adopted as the solution technique. The process model, the formulation for process optimal design, the schemes for the evaluation of the design sensitivity, and an iterative procedure for optimization are described in detail. The validity of the schemes for the evaluation of the design sensitivity is examined by performing a series of numerical tests. The capability of the proposed approach is demonstrated through application to a selected design problem.
