Finite‐Element Implementation of a Self‐consistent Texture Model with a Hardening Law Based on Dislocation Densities

A self‐consistent texture model is implemented in the finite‐element code ABAQUS/Explicit®. Hardening of the slip systems is described by evolution laws for dislocation densities, and the Bauschinger effect is included. With these ingredients the cold rolling of an IF‐steel is simulated and the evolution of texture and anisotropy is examined. The use of the dislocation based hardening law is found to have a significant effect on the evolution of the anisotropic yield surface, but only very little influence on the texture. Furthermore, the hardening model is used to investigate the evolution of dislocation densities in differently oriented grains during plane strain compression. It is found that the dislocation density varies greatly depending on orientation, an observation which can help to explain the orientation dependence of recrystallization.     

Dynamic crack propagation with cohesive elements: a methodology to address mesh dependency

In this paper, two brittle fracture problems are numerically simulated: the failure of a ceramic ring under centrifugal loading and crack branching in a PMMA strip. A three‐dimensional finite element package in which cohesive elements are dynamically inserted has been developed. The cohesive elements' strength is chosen to follow a modified weakest link Weibull distribution. The probability of introducing a weak cohesive element is set to increase with the cohesive element size. This reflects the physically based effect according to which larger elements are more likely to contain defects. The calculations illustrate how the area dependence of the Weibull model can be used to effectively address mesh dependency. On the other hand, regular Weibull distributions have failed to reduce mesh dependency for the examples shown in this paper. The ceramic ring calculations revealed that two distinct phenomena appear depending on the magnitude of the Weibull modulus. For low Weibull modulus, the fragmentation of the ring is dominated by heterogeneities. Whereas many cracks were generated, few of them could propagate to the outer surface. Monte Carlo simulations revealed that for highly heterogeneous rings, the number of small fragments was large and that few large fragments were generated. For high Weibull modulus, signifying that the ring is close to being homogeneous, the fragmentation process was very different. Monte Carlo simulations highlighted that a larger number of large fragments are generated due to crack branching. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Specific interactions in blends containing Chitosan and functionalized polymers. Molecular dynamics simulations

Chitosan (CS)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and Chitosan/poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (P2HEM) blends have been studied through molecular dynamic simulations. In a previous work it was found miscibility between these polymers and it was attributed to hydrogen bonding formation. However, the experimental information obtained was not enough to know which of the interacting groups of Chitosan, i.e. -CH₂OH or -NH₂, are responsible of the interaction. Therefore, we have performed molecular dynamics simulation runs of 1 ns in order to calculate radial distribution functions (RDF) for the groups tentatively involved in the interaction. The results are correlated with our previous experimental data. This way, we have obtained a more precise conclusive information about the interactions involved as function of the blends composition. For low compositions of PVA and P2HEM the interaction is predominantly with the hydroxymethyl groups of CS while as the composition of PVA and P2HEM increases, the interaction with the amine groups increases.

Dynamic modes of Ti combustion in a coflow of N<Subscript>2</Subscript>-Ar mixture

Combustion of bulk density Ti powder (containing 20 wt % TiN as a diluent) in a coflow of N₂-Ar mixture was investigated upon variation in the nitrogen content of the gaseous mixture. The obtained data are believed to open up new horizons for fabrication of layered and composite ceramics by infiltration-mediated combustion.      

IF钢冷轧及再结晶初期微观组织的TEM研究

采用透射电子显微镜对不同压下量和再结晶初期的IF钢样品进行了研究．结果表明：无论是在较小形变量下还是在较大形变量下，形变不均匀性是普遍存在的；冷变形程度不同，织构组分不同，TEM形貌也不同；在再结晶的最初期，冷轧的形变组织演变为近乎等轴的亚晶，优先形成{111}〈uvw〉取向的晶核，晶核逐渐吞并周围的形变基体而长大，最终形成再结晶γ-纤维织构．     

热镀锌工艺对Ti-IF钢光整热镀锌板组织和性能的影响

在连续热镀锌线上研究了RTH带钢温度和光整延伸率对Ti—IF钢光整热镀锌板组织和性能的影响。试验表明，当RTH带钢温度在830℃以下时，成品铁素体晶粒度为10．0级，织构类型以{332}、{114}为主，随着带钢温度的进一步提高，热镀锌板的晶粒逐渐粗化，织构成为典型的{111}织构，且取向密度增加，r值随之提高，但当带钢温度在900℃以上时，织构又趋于无规则分布，r值显著降低；光整延伸率对Ti—IF钢光整热镀锌板力学性能的影响很大，随着光整延伸率的提高，屈服强度明显提高，n值明显降低，延伸率降低，抗拉强度变化较小，且光整延伸率对性能的影响与成品铁素体晶粒尺寸有关，成品晶粒越粗，光整延伸率的影响越大。因此对于Ti—IF钢光整热镀锌板而言，n、r值是一对矛盾体，在制订热镀锌工艺时，需根据使用条件的不同，对其n、r值进行综合考虑。
