Refining constitutive relation by integration of finite element simulations and Gleeble experiments

Thermo-mechanical coupled finite element calculations were carried out to simulate the Gleeble compression of the samples of a titanium alloy (Ti60), and the results are analyzed and compared with the actual compression tests conducted on a Gleeble 3800 thermo-mechanical simulator. The changes in temperature, stress and strain distribution in the samples and the source of error on the constitutive relations from Gleeble hot compression test were analyzed in detail. Both simulations and experiments showed that the temperature distribution in the specimen is not uniform during hot compression, resulting in significant deformation inhomogeneity and non-ignorable error in the flow stress strain relation, invalidating the uniform strain assumption commonly assumed when extracting the constitutive relation from Gleeble tests. Based on the finite element simulations with iterative corrections, we propose a scheme to refine the constitutive relations from Gleeble tests.

Influence of Heat Input on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Laser Welding GH4169 Bolt Assembly—Numerical and Experimental Analysis

By conducting the numerical and experimental analysis, the influence of heat input on the microstructures and mechanical properties of laser welding GH4169 bolt assembly is systematically investigated. The weld formation, temperature field, and residual stress distribution during laser welding by using the finite element modeling are consistent with experimental results. The numerical simulation results show that the increase of heat input imparts lower residual stresses and higher temperature gradient. During the process of laser welding, the steepest temperature gradient and the peak residual stress arise in the fusion zone (FZ). In addition, the dissolution of γ″ and γ′ toward the fusion line increases in heat affected zone (HAZ), but only Laves phase is observed in FZ. With increasing heat input from 24 to 48 J mm⁻¹, the ultimate tensile strength of welded joints decreases. Both the lowest microhardness values and tensile failure of GH4169 alloy laser welded joint are in FZ. Herein, it is that the relationship among the heat input, microstructures, and mechanical properties of GH4196 bolt assembly in laser welding is systematically established, which will be of guiding significance for the selection of welding parameters in aerospace.     

An element-based formulation for ES-FEM and FS-FEM models for implementation in standard solid mechanics finite element codes for 2D and 3D static analysis

Edge-based and face-based smoothed finite element methods (ES-FEM and FS-FEM, respectively) are modified versions of the finite element method allowing to achieve more accurate results and to reduce sensitivity to mesh distortion, at least for linear elements. These properties make the two methods very attractive. However, their implementation in a standard finite element code is nontrivial because it requires heavy and extensive modifications to the code architecture. In this article, we present an element-based formulation of ES-FEM and FS-FEM methods allowing to implement the two methods in a standard finite element code with no modifications to its architecture. Moreover, the element-based formulation permits to easily manage any type of element, especially in 3D models where, to the best of the authors' knowledge, only tetrahedral elements are used in FS-FEM applications found in the literature. Shape functions for non-simplex 3D elements are proposed in order to apply FS-FEM to any standard finite element.     

Efficient structural reliability analysis via a weak-intrusive stochastic finite element method

This paper presents a novel methodology for structural reliability analysis by means of the stochastic finite element method (SFEM). The key issue of structural reliability analysis is to determine the limit state function and corresponding multidimensional integral that are usually related to the structural stochastic displacement and/or its derivative, e.g., the stress and strain. In this paper, a novel weak-intrusive SFEM is first used to calculate structural stochastic displacements of all spatial positions. In this method, the stochastic displacement is decoupled into a combination of a series of deterministic displacements with random variable coefficients. An iterative algorithm is then given to solve the deterministic displacements and the corresponding random variables. Based on the stochastic displacement obtained by the SFEM, the limit state function described by the stochastic displacement (and/or its derivative) and the corresponding multidimensional integral encountered in reliability analysis can be calculated in a straightforward way. Failure probabilities of all spatial positions can be obtained at once since the stochastic displacements of all spatial points have been known by using the proposed SFEM. Furthermore, the proposed method can be applied to high-dimensional stochastic problems without any modification. One of the most challenging problems encountered in high-dimensional reliability analysis, known as the curse of dimensionality, can be circumvented with great success. Three numerical examples, including low- and high-dimensional reliability analysis, are given to demonstrate the good accuracy and the high efficiency of the proposed method.
