On Material Modelling of High Strength Steel SheetsLarsson, Rikard January 2012 (has links)
The work done in this thesis aims at developing and improving material models for use in industrial applications. The mechanical behaviour of three advanced high strength steel grades, Docol 600DP, Docol 1200M and HyTens 1000, has been experimentally investigated under various types of deformation, and material models of their behaviour have been developed. The origins of all these material models are experimental findings from physical tests on the materials. Sheet metal forming is an important industrial process and is used to produce a wide range of products. The continuously increasing demand on the weight to performance ratio of many products promotes the use of advanced high strength steel. In order to take full advantage of such steel, most product development is done by means of computer aided engineering, CAE. In advanced product development, the use of simulation based design, SBD, is continuously increasing. With SBD, the functionality of a product, as well as its manufacturing process, can be analysed and optimised with a minimum of physical prototype testing. Accurate numerical tools are absolutely necessary with this methodology, and the model of the material behaviour is one important aspect of such tools. This thesis consists of an introduction followed by five appended papers. In the first paper, the dual phase Docol 600DP steel and the martensitic Docol 1200M steel were subjected to deformations, both under linear and non-linear strain paths. Plastic anisotropy and hardening were evaluated and modelled using both virgin materials, i.e. as received, and materials which were pre-strained in various material directions. In the second paper, the austenitic stainless steel HyTens 1000 was subjected to deformations under various proportional strain paths and strain rates. It was experimentally shown that this material is sensitive both to dynamic and static strain ageing. A constitutive model accounting for these effects was developed, calibrated, implemented in a Finite Element software and, finally, validated on physical test data. The third paper concerns the material dispersions in batches of Docol 600DP. A material model was calibrated to a number of material batches of the same steel grade. The paper provides a statistical analysis of the resulting material parameters. The fourth paper deals with a simple modelling of distortional hardening. This type of hardening is able to represent the variation of plastic anisotropy during deformation. This is not the case with a regular isotropic hardening, where the anisotropy is fixed during deformation. The strain rate effect is an important phenomenon, which often needs to be considered in a material model. In the fifth paper, the strain rate effects in Docol 600DP are investigated and modelled. Furthermore, the strain rate effect on strain localisation is discussed. / SFS ProViking Super Light Steel Structures

Dielectric elastomer actuation performance enhancement, higher order modelling and self-sensing controlZhang, Runan January 2017 (has links)
There is a growing interest in the field of Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs).A DEA consists of a thin DE lm coated with a compliant electrode. It expandsin planar directions and contracts in thickness under a driving voltage. Becauseof the similar actuation capability compared with human muscles, it is oftenreferred as artificial muscle. One possible application is to integrate the DEA inwearable devices for tremor suppression. In this thesis, the development of theDEA has been advanced towards this application in three aspects: performanceenhancement, modelling accuracy and self-sensing control. The results presented demonstrate that the combination of pre-strain and motion constraining enhances the force output of the DEA significantly but it also leads to the pre-mature electric breakdown that shortens the operational life. This drawback was suppressed by optimising the electrode configuration to avoid the electrically weak regions with low thickness across the DE lm, together with the lead contact o the active electrode region. The durability of the enhanced DEA was therefore improved significantly. Polyacrylate, a commonly used DE, was characterised for dynamic mechanical loading and electrical actuation. The conventional Kelvin-Voigt model was proved to be deficient in simulating the viscoelastic behaviour of polyacrylate in the frequency domain. The error in modelling was substantially reduced using a higher material model that contains multiple spring-damper combinations. It allows the system dynamics to be shaped over frequency ranges. A detailed procedure was given to guide the parameter identification in higher order material model. A novel self-sensing mechanism that does not require superposition of drivingvoltage and excitation signal was also designed. It reconfigures the conventionalDEA to have separate electrode regions for sensing and actuating. As the DElm deforms under driving voltage, the capacitive change in the electrode regionfor sensing was measured via a capacitor bridge and used as the feedback foractuation control. The self-sensing DEA can, therefore, be implemented with anyhigh voltage power supply. Moreover, the sensing performance is demonstratedto have improved consistency without interference of the electrical field. It alsohas a unique feature of DE lm wrinkling detection.

Ein numerischer Vergleich alternativer Formulierungen des Materialmodells der anisotropen Elastoplastizität bei großen VerzerrungenGörke, Uwe-Jens, Bucher, Anke, Kreißig, Reiner 16 December 2008 (has links) (PDF)
Following generally accepted axioms and assumptions the authors developed a phenomenological, thermodynamically
consistent material model for large anisotropic elastoplastic deformations based on a substructure concept.
The material model originally includes a stress relation in rate formulation, evolutional equations for the
internal variables modeling the hardening behavior, and the yield condition. Due to the necessary time
discretization solving the initial value problem (IVP) this approach is associated with an incremental
stress computation. It will be shown that, within this context, the accuracy of stress values
essentially deteriorates with increasing load steps. Consequently, the authors substitute the usual
stress relation including the symmetric plastic strain tensor of right Cauchy-Green type instead of the
stress tensor into the set of unknown constitutive variables. Stresses are explicitly computed from a
hyperelastic material law depending on the elastic strain tensor. Furthermore, as an alternative to the
plastic strain tensor the solution of the IVP considering an
evolutional equation for the plastic part of the deformation gradient has been studied.
This procedure simplifies the mathematical structure of the system to be solved as well
as the computation of substructure-based variables which are suitable for the analysis
of texture development. The presented numerical strategies were implemented into an in-house FE-code.
Some examples illustrating their accuracy, stability as well as efficiency are discussed.

Thermodynamisch konsistente Formulierung des gekoppelten Systems der Thermoelastoplastizität bei großen Verzerrungen auf der Basis eines SubstrukturkonzeptsGörke, Uwe-Jens, Landgraf, Ralf, Kreißig, Reiner 16 December 2008 (has links) (PDF)
Non-negligible coupled thermal and mechanical
effects occur in several physical and industrial
procedures, e.g. warm for ming processes.
The authors present the theoretical background of
a phenomenological thermoelastoplastic material
model at large strains as well as its numerical
realization within the context of appropriate
finite element formulations. As usual, the presented
thermodynamical consistent constitutive approach is
based on the multiplicative decomposition of
the deformation gradient, and a corresponding
additive decomposition of the free Helmholtz
energy density. For the numerical treatment of
thermoelastoplastic problems within a finite
element approach, weak formulations of the balance
equation of momentum and the heat conduction
equation in material description are developed.
For the solution of non-linear boundary value
problems the linearization of the weak formulations
is presented. Within the context of the mechanical
problem the temperature dependence of material
parameters as well as the thermal expansion are
considered. The temperature evolution will be
affected by non-thermal phenomena like the
thermoelastic effect and plastic dissipation.
Several numerical procedures for the solution of
the coupled thermomechanical problem are
discussed.

Microstructure and property models of alloy 718 applicable for simulation of manufacturing processesMoretti, Marie Anna January 2022 (has links)
This thesis focuses on experimental characterization, understanding and modelling of nickel-based alloy 718, for a large range of loading conditions. Alloy 718 is the most widely used nickel-based superalloy, due to its high strength, high corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical properties at high temperatures. In this work, the mechanical behavior and microstructure evolution of this alloy during high strain rate deformation is investigated. Compression tests using a Split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) device were performed and the microstructure of the deformed sample was observed using optical microscope (OM) and scanning-electron microscope (SEM) coupled with electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) technique. The microstructural evolution according to the deformation conditions was characterized. For high deformation temperatures (1000 C and above), recrystallisation is identifed as the main deformation mechanism. A physics-based model was employed to simulate the deformation behavior of alloy 718. This type of models accounts for the microstructural mechanisms taking place during deformation. Knowledge about the deformation mechanisms of alloy 718, acquired experimentally and from literature, enables to formulate mathematically the microstructural phenomena governing the deformation behavior of the alloy. The proposed model includes the effects of strain hardening, grain boundary strengthening (Hall-Petch), solid solution strengthening, phonon and electron drag and recovery by dislocation glide and cross-slip. It is calibrated and validated using data obtained from mechanical tests, as well as values captured by the microstructural analysis. / H2020-MSCA-ITN-2017 grant agreement Nº764979 - ENABLE project

FE Modelling Of Two Femur Fixation ImplantsArsiwala, Ali, Shukla, Vatsal January 2021 (has links)
In the pool of women over the age of 50, the likeliness of an atypical fracture increase drastically, partly due to osteoporosis. With a pre-existing implant in the femur bone, inserted due to a prior atypical fracture, treating a later femoral neck fracture is complex and risky. Currently, a fractured femoral diaphysis is treated using an intermedullary nail which is fixed to the femur bone either through the femoral neck (Recon locking method)or through the lesser trochanter (Antegrade locking method). In a study conducted by Bögl et.al. JBJS102.17 (2020), pp. 1486-1494, it is found that the fixation of the intermedullary nail through the femoral neck reduces the risk of future femoral neck fractures. The study also states that more than 50% of the patients with atypical femoral fractures related to bisphosphonate treatment for osteoporosis (within the study sub population) were treated with the Antegrade locking implant. There does not exist much literature that reasons as to how one locking method is showing lesser risk of re-operation as compared to the other. The purpose of this study is to look into the effects these two implants have on the femur bone using the Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The study presented is aimed at comparing the results of the finite element analysis for the Recon implant model (Recon model) and Antegrade implant model (Antegrade model). The femur model without the implants (native bone model) is used to verify material behavior, while the other two are used for the comparison to study the stress-strain distribution, primarily in the neck region. This is a patient specific study, hence the femur bone model is generated using patient Computed Tomography (CT) scans. The bone model was assigned a heterogeneous isotropic material property derived from patient CT data. The finite element (FE) model of the bone was meshed using Hypermesh. The peak loading condition including the muscle forces were applied on the native bone model along with the Recon and the Antegrademodel. While the loading conditions during normal walking cycle were only applied to theRecon and the Antegrade model to compare the impacts of the two implant types. Both loading conditions were simulated by fixing the distal condyle region of the bone. The analysis results show that the Antegrade implant experiences much higher stresses and strains in the neck region as compared to Recon implant. Also, the presence of the intermedullary nail through the femur diaphysis helps to distribute the stresses and strains in the anterior distal diaphysis region of the bone. For the case of no implants, the model showed strains and stresses in the lateral distal region of femoral diaphysis.

Warhead penetration in concrete protective structuresHansson, Håkan January 2011 (has links)
The analysis of penetration of warheads in concrete protective structures is an important part of the study of weapon effects on protective structures. This type of analysis requires that the design load in the form of a warhead is determined, and its characteristic and performance within a protective structure is known. Constitutive equations for concrete subjected to weapon effects have been a major area of interest for a long time, and several material models for concrete behaviour are developed. However, it is not until recent years that it has been possible to use finite element (FE) analyses to simulate the behaviour of concrete targets during projectile penetration with acceptable results. The reason for this is a combination of several factors, e.g. development of suitable material models for concrete, enhancement of numerical methodology and affordable high capacity computer systems. Furthermore, warhead penetration has primary been of interest for the armed forces and military industry, with a large part of the conducted research being classified during considerable time. The theoretical bases for concrete material behaviour and modelling with respect to FE analyses of projectile penetration are treated in the thesis. The development of weapons and fortifications are briefly discussed in the thesis. Warheads may be delivered onto a protective structure by several means, e.g. artillery, missiles or aerial bombing, and two typical warhead types were used within the study. These warhead types were artillery shells and unitary penetration bombs for the use against hardened targets, with penetration data for the later warhead type almost non-existing in the literature. The penetration of warheads in concrete protective structures was therefore studied through a combination of experimental work, empirical penetration modelling and FE analyses to enhance the understanding of the penetration phenomenon. The experimental data was used for evaluation of empirical equations for concrete penetration and FE analyses of concrete penetration, and the use of these methods to predict warhead penetration in protective structures are discussed within the thesis. The use of high performance concrete increased the penetration resistance of concrete targets, and the formation of front and back face craters were prevented with the use of heavily reinforced normal strength concrete (NSC) for the targets. In addition, the penetration depths were reduced in the heavily reinforced NSC. The evaluated existing empirical penetration models did not predict the behaviour of the model scaled hardened buried target penetrators in concrete structures with acceptable accuracy. One of the empirical penetration models was modified to better describe the performance of these penetrators in concrete protective structures. The FE analyses of NSC gave reasonable results for all simulation cases, with the best results obtained for normal impact conditions of the penetrators. / Analyser avseende stridsdelars penetration i skyddskonstruktioner av betong viktigt för studier av vapenverkan mot skyddskonstruktioner. Dessa analyser förutsätter att dimensionerande last i form av stridsdel bestäms, samt att dess karakteristik och verkan mot skyddskonstruktioner är kända. Konstitutiva modeller för betong utsatta för vapenverkan har varit av stort intresse under en lång tid och ett flertal materialmodeller har utvecklats. Det är emellertid först på senare år som det varit möjligt att använda finita element (FE) analyser for att simulera beteendet för betongmål vid projektilpenetration med acceptabla resultat. Anledningen till detta kan tillskrivas kombinationen av ett flertal faktorer, t ex utvecklingen av lämpliga materialmodeller, förbättringar av numerisk metodik och utvecklingen av kostnadseffektiva beräkningsdatorer. Penetration av stridsdelar har dessutom i huvudsak varit av intresse för militären och försvarsindustrin, vilket har resulterat i att en stor del av den bedrivna forskningen har varit hemligstämplad under lång tid. Grunderna avseende betongs materialbeteende och beskrivning av detta med avseende på FE-analyser av projektilpenetration behandlas i denna licentiatuppsats. Den fortifikatoriska utvecklingen och utvecklingen av vapen diskuteras kortfattad i uppsatsen. Ett flertal olika typer av stridsdelar är av intresse avseende verkan mot skyddskonstruktioner, t ex artillerigranater, missiler eller flygbomber. I denna studie beaktades två typiska stridsdelar, artillerigranater och penetrerande bomber. De senare är specifikt konstruerade för användande mot skyddskonstruktioner och företrädesvis mot betongkonstruktioner. Det visade sig dessutom att data avseende penetration i betong för denna typ av penetrerande stridsdelar i stort sett inte var publicerade. Penetration av stridsdelar i betong studerades därför med en kombination av experimentella metoder, empiriska penetrationsmodeller och FE-analyser för att öka förståelsen för problemställningen. De experimentella modellresultaten användes för att utvärdera både de empiriska penetrationsmodellerna och FE-analyserna avseende betongpenetration, med båda metodernas användande diskuterat i uppsatsen. Användandet av högpresterande betong ökade penetrationsmotståndet för betongmålen i jämförelse med standardbetongmålen. Det var även möjligt att förhindra kraterbildningen på fram- och baksidan av de kraftigt armerande standardbetongmålen, detta medförde även en reducerad penetration för projektilerna i målen. De existerande empiriska penetrationsmodellerna kunde inte förutsäga penetrationen av modellprojektilerna i betongmålen med godtagbara resultat. Istället vidareutvecklades en av dessa modeller för att bättre beskriva denna typ av penetrerande stridsdelar i skyddskonstruktioner av betong. Finita elementanalyserna av standardbetongmålen visade sig ge ett rimligt beteende för alla analyserade modeller, med de bästa resultaten erhållna för vinkelrätt anslag för de modellprojektilerna av de penetrerande stridsdelarna. / QC 20111116
