Sensitivity of Hashin damage parameters for notched composite panels in tension and out-of-plane bending

Wright, Thomas J. (Thomas John) 20 November 2012 (has links)
When using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to model notched composite panels, the values of certain material properties can have a great effect on the outcome of the simulation. Progressive damage modeling is used to model how a composite structure will fail, and how that failure will affect the response of the structure. Many different progressive damage models exist, but the formulation known as Hashin damage is used to model failure in tension and out-of-plane bending in this study. This model has ten different material properties that are used to define the damage response of the material. Each of these material properties must be calculated experimentally in a time consuming and expensive process. A method of determining which properties will have the greatest effect on the model, and therefore, which to spend the most money on accurate tests, is a factorial analysis sensitivity study. Studies of this nature have been used in many different situations regarding material properties testing and optimization. The work presented in this study uses several factorial analysis designs to perform a sensitivity study on the ten Hashin damage parameters in a variety of situations. Five different ply layups are used in modeling specimens that are loaded in tension and out-of-plane bending. The results of this study show that the significant factors depend on the ply layup and loading scenario, but there are generally less than three factors that play a significant role in modeling the failure of the panels. This means that in most cases, rather than spending substantial money on finding ten different material properties, the time and money can be focused on a small subset of the properties, and an accurate model can still be achieved. While the results of the scenarios presented may not apply to all scenarios, the methods presented can be used to perform a similar study in other specific scenarios to find the significant factors for that case. / Graduation date: 2013

Utveckla en FE-modell för att studera effekten av presspassning på en hypoid växelsats / Developing an FE model to study the ffect of press-fit on a hypoid gear set

Padmanabhan, Maadhav January 2017 (has links)
Gears are an integral part of devices ranging from simple wrist watches to complex systems like automotive and wave energy converters. They play a very important role in the transfer of torque. There are several types of gears to be chosen from, depending on the application. This thesis work deals exclusively with hypoid gears. A hypoid gear is a type of bevel gear, that transmits torque between two non-parallel shafts. It is similar to a spiral bevel gear, except that the pinion axis can be oset. It is this ability to offset, that renders hypoidgears as highly sought-after gears for automotive applications. It is crucial that these hypoid gears are designed efficiently and that their life before failure is predictable, to a reasonable degree of accuracy. To enable such predictions, this thesis makes an effort to build a finite element (FE) model. With the developed FE model, a study of the effect of press-fit on the ring gear's root bending stresses, that is present in a hypoid gear set of a car's Rear-Drive Unit (RDU), was carried out. The FE model was built on three different software - Transmission 3D (T3D), Hypoid Face Milled (HFM) and MSC Marc (Marc). The effect of press-fit on root bending stresses of the ring gear was first analyzed on T3D. To determine if the press-fit was correctly induced, the model was rebuilt and analyzed on Marc. HFM was used to determine the effect of inclusion of different components on the root bending stresses. Additionally,the HFM model was also replicated on Marc and a press-fit of 100m was induced. This was done to see if modelling the press-fit on HFM gave similar results to that of T3D and if using HFM in conjunction with Marclead to a better modelling procedure. It was found that the maximum root bending stresses increased linearly with increasing press-fit dimension. It was also found that the inclusion of different parts does not cause a significant increase in root bending stresses, except for the inclusion of differential cage. The effect of press-fit could not be quantified despite knowing that it affects the root bending stresses. When the same analysis done on HFM or T3D was done on Marc, there wasa 10% increase in stresses at highly stressed zone in Marc model of T3D; there was 10-15% increase in stresse sat highly stressed zone in the HFM model of Marc. Hence, quantification remained an impediment. It was not possible to quantify the error that occurred during the migration of analysis from HFM or T3D to Marc. However, potential causes of these errors could be the error in computation of bearing forces and difference in the definition of contacts in the software. Owing to large computational time and limited working period, all the analysis on Marc was carried out for one position and for the first time step of the gear mesh. If the errors in migration of analysis from one software to another could be quantified, then this modelling can be used to estimate the contribution of press-fit to rootbending stresses on the ring-gear. Although the contact pattern comparison between the virtual models andthe physical test suggests that HFM is a more trustworthy software, it is recommended to conduct some straingauge measurements on different ring gear teeth and then compare the results with those of the virtual model. / Kugghjul är en integrerad del av utrustningar som sträcker sig fråan enkla armbandsur till komplexa system som bilar eller vågfrakftverkomvandlare. De spelar en mycket viktig roll vid överföring av vridmoment. Det finns flera typer av kugghjul som man kan välja från, beroende på applikationen. Detta projekt handlar exklusivt om hypoidväaxlar. En hypoidväxel är en typ av vinkelväxel som överför vridmoment mellan två icke parallella axlar. Det liknar ett spiralformat växel, förutom att kugghjulets axel kan förskjutas. Det är denna förmåga att kompensera, vilket gör hypoidväxlar en mycket eftertraktade redskap för fordonsapplikationer. Det är avgörande att dessa hypoid-redskap är konstrueras effektivt och att deras liv före misslyckande ar förutsägbart, i en rimlig grad av noggrannhet. För att möjliggöra sådana Förutsägelser gör denna avhandling ett försök att bygga en finita-element (FE) modell. Med den utvecklade FE-modellen utfördes en studie av effekten av presspassning pa ringvaxelns rotböjspänningar, som finns i en hypoid växelsats av en bilens Bakre enhet (RDU). FE-modellen byggdes på tre olika programvaror: Transmission 3D (T3D), Hypoid Face Milled (HFM) och MSCMarc (Marc). Effekten av presspassning på riggböjspänningarna hos ringväxeln analyserades först på T3D. För att bestämma om presspassningen var korrekt inducerad, byggdes modellen och analyserades på Marc. HFM användes för att bestämma effekten av inkludering av olika komponenter på rotböjspänningarna. Dessutom replikerades HFM-modellen också på Marc och en presspassning på 100 microns inducerades. Detta gjordes för att se om modellering av presspass på HFM gav liknande resultat som T3D och om man använde HFM i kombination med Marc leder det till ett bättre modelleringsförfarande. Det visade sig att de maximala rotböjspänningarna ökade linjärt med ökande presspassningsdimension. Det konstaterades ocksåa att införandet av olika delar inte orsakar en signifikant ökning av rotböjspänningar, utom införandet av differentialbur. Effekten av presspassning kunde inte kvantifieras trots att man vet det påverkar rotböjspänningarna. När samma analys gjord på HFM eller T3D gjordes på Marc, fanns det en 10% ökning av späanningar vid starkt stressad zon i Marc-modellen av T3D; det var 10-15% ökning av spänningar vid starkt stressad zon i HFM-modellen av Marc. Därför förblev kvantifiering ett hinder. Det var inte möjligt att kvantifiera felet som inträffade under analysanalysen från HFM eller T3D till Marc. Dock kan potentiella orsaker till dessa fel vara felet vid beräkning av bärkrafter och skillnad i definitionen av kontakter i programvaran. På grund av stor beräkningstid och begränsad arbetstid utfördes all analys på Marc för bara en position och för det forsta steget av växelns nät. Om felen i migration av analys från en programvara till en annan kunde kvantifieras, då kan denna modellering användas för att beräkna bidragen från presspassning till rotböjspänningar på ringväxeln. Även om kontaktmönstersjämforelsen mellan de virtuella modellerna och det fysiska testet föreslår att HFM är en mer pålitlig programvara, rekommenderas det att utföra en viss belastning Mätmätningar på olika ringväxeltänder och sedan jämföra sedan resultaten med dem från virtuella modellen.
