Análisis y diseño de volantes de inercia de materiales compuestosRipoll Masferrer, Lluís 11 January 2006 (has links)
Los volantes de inercia superan a las baterías eléctricas por su capacidad de absorber y ceder energía en poco tiempo y, si se fabrican con materiales compuestos, también por su reducido peso. La tesis presenta un estudio sobre los rotores de materiales compuestos aplicados a los acumuladores cinéticos para hacerlos más asequibles a usos industriales baratos. Para ello se proponen dos objetivos: obtener un sistema analítico de cálculo, y mejorar el diseño de rotores de bajo coste.Se desarrolla un sistema analítico de cálculo muy completo, tanto en las cargas como en las tensiones. Se consideran todas las cargas necesarias para el diseño mecánico del rotor: la fuerza centrífuga, la fuerza de aceleración y las tensiones residuales, térmica y de hidratación; y se determinan todas las componentes, normales y cortantes, de la tensión para cada punto del rotor.El cálculo en condiciones de tensión plana, utilizado por la mayoría de autores, se amplía con el cálculo en deformación axial constante, que es una variante mejorada de la deformación plana. Se comprueba que sus resultados son mejores que los de tensión plana cuando se comparan con los obtenidos en modelos de elementos finitos. Paralelamente, como aportación nueva de la tesis, se deducen las funciones de la variación de la tensión axial y de la tensión cortante radial-axial a lo largo del eje longitudinal del rotor. A partir de estos resultados se desarrolla un sistema general de cálculo que, además de unificar los sistemas de tensión plana y deformación axial constante, permite determinar todas las tensiones en cualquier posición radial-axial del rotor.Este sistema unificado de cálculo se amplia con tres particularidades: una aplicación de cálculo para resolver rotores multicapa, las ecuaciones especiales para los materiales singulares no resolubles con las ecuaciones generales, y el cálculo de capas con fibras orientadas axialmente aplicadas para refuerzo en configuraciones especiales.Con el objeto de mejorar las prestaciones del rotor se estudian dos procedimientos para crear tensiones de pretensado: generando tensiones durante el bobinado y utilizando las tensiones residuales térmicas. En el primero se elabora un sistema analítico de cálculo para determinar las tensiones residuales de bobinado y se complementa con una simulación mediante elementos finitos basada en submodelos incrementales. Ambos cálculos son capaces de simular el material no curado aplicando las propiedades viscoelásticas de los ensayos experimentales de otros autores. En el segundo se presenta un sistema nuevo, denominado pretensado térmico, basado en el curado por etapas, que genera tensiones residuales parecidas a las de bobinado pero con menos problemas de fabricación.El diseño de volantes se aplica a tres configuraciones básicas: rotores híbridos multicapa con materiales de rigidez progresiva, rotores de un solo material con anillos de elastómero y rotores con pretensado térmico.Sus prestaciones se valoran con tres variables: la masa, el volumen y el coste del material; de las cuales el coste es la principal y se utiliza para la optimización de la geometría.En cada configuración se determina la energía máxima para distintas relaciones de radios del rotor y se compara con el rotor de un sólo material. Se utilizan los materiales básicos usados en la fabricación de rotores: la fibra de carbono con matriz epoxi, la fibra de vidrio con matriz epoxi, el aluminio y el acero. Los dos materiales compuestos ofrecen mejores resultados que los metales, pero disminuyen sensiblemente en rotores con espesor de pared grande. En estos casos, la energía por unidad de coste mejora aplicando los anillos elásticos y el pretensado térmico. / Flywheels are better than electric batteries in that they absorb and yield energy in shorter time and, if made out of composite materials, also in that they weight less. This thesis presents a study of composite material rotors applied to kinetic accumulators in order to make them usable for low cost general industrial uses. Two objectives are proposed: a) to develop an analytical system for computation and b) to design alternatives in order to improve the performance on low-cost rotors.The analytical system is intended to be very complete, considering all relevant types of external loads and stress components. For the former, centrifugal, acceleration forces and residual, thermal and moisture stresses are included. For the latter, five normal and shear components are computed at each point of the rotor.The usual plane stress condition is expanded with the consideration of constant axial strain, along the lines of the plane strain hypothesis but with greater accuracy. It is shown that the current theory results fit the ones from finite elements much better than those from plain stress. As a new contribution, the functions for the axial stress and the radial-axial stress along the axis of the rotor are developed. From these results, a general system that unifies the plane stress and constant axial strain can compute the stress state at any position.In addition, the unified system includes three novel aspects: an extension of computation for multi-layer rotors, special equations for some materials in which behaviour present singularities and the computation of layers with fibers along the axial direction, which can be useful as a reinforcement for some configurations.Two procedures that can create beneficial residual stresses are studied: generating stresses during the filament winding and using the thermal stresses. For the first, analytical expressions are developed and validated and complemented with especially developed finite elements based on incremental submodels. In both cases the material is characterized by viscoelastic properties taken from the literature. For the second, a new procedure called thermal prestress is based on the accumulation of partial curing processes (by stages), which is able to create residual stresses similar to those of winding but involving simpler manufacturing.Three basic configurations are studied for the design: hybrid rotors with progressive stiffness along the radius, single material rotors with elastomer thin rings and rotors manufactured with thermal prestress, evaluating the performance as a function of the mass, volume and cost of the material. The latter is defined as the most important, and it is used as a reference for the geometry optimization.The maximum energy stored on each of the configurations is compared with that of a single material rotor, using the most common ones: glass and carbon fiber both with epoxy matrix, aluminium and steel. Results show that glass/epoxy has the highest storing capability per unit cost, although the number is greatly reduced when the thickness increases. If this rotor has a thin layer of carbon/epoxy, the capability does not increase, although it does with distributed elastomeric layers. There is also an increase with fabrication based on the thermal prestress technique.

Surface Integrity on Grinding of Gamma Titanium Aluminide Intermetallic CompoundsMurtagian, Gregorio Roberto 20 August 2004 (has links)
Gamma-TiAl is an ordered intermetallic compound characterized by high strength to density ratio, good oxidation resistance, and good creep properties at elevated temperatures. However, it is intrinsically brittle at room temperature. This thesis investigates the potential for the use of grinding to process TiAl into useful shapes. Grinding is far from completely understood,
and many aspects of the individual mechanical interactions of the abrasive grit with the material and their effect on surface
integrity are unknown. The development of new synthetic diamond superabrasives in which shape and size can be controlled raises the question of the influence of those variables on the surface integrity.
The goal of this work is to better understand the fundamentals of the abrasive grit/material interaction in grinding operations.
Experimental, analytical, and numerical work was done to characterize and predict the resultant deformation and surface integrity on ground lamellar gamma-TiAl.
Grinding tests were carried out, by analyzing the effects of grit size and shape, workpiece speed, wheel depth of cut, and wear on the subsurface plastic deformation depth (PDD). A practical method to assess the PDD is introduced based on the measurement of the lateral material flow by 3D non-contact surface profilometry. This
method combines the quantitative capabilities of the microhardness measurement with the sensitivity of Nomarski microscopy. The scope and limitations of this technique are analyzed. Mechanical
properties were obtained by quasi-static and split Hopkinson bar compression tests. Residual stress plots were obtained by x-ray, and surface roughness and cracking were evaluated.
The abrasive grit/material interaction was accounted by modeling the force per abrasive grit for different grinding conditions, and
studying its correlation to the PDD. Numerical models of this interaction were used to analyze boundary conditions, and abrasive size effects on the PDD. An explicit 2D triple planar slip crystal
plasticity model of single point scratching was used to analyze the effects of lamellae orientation, material anisotropy, and
grain boundaries on the deformation.

Engineering Residual Stress into the Workpiece through the Design of Machining Process ParametersHanna, Carl Robert 13 August 2007 (has links)
The surface integrity of a machined component that meets the demands of a specific application requirement is defined by several characteristics. The residual stress profile into the component is often considered as the critical characteristics as it carries a direct effect on the fatigue life of a machined component.
A significant amount of effort has been dedicated by researchers to predict post process stress in a workpiece using analytical, experimental, and numerical modeling methods. Nonetheless, no methodology is available that can express the cutting process parameters and tool geometry parameters as functions of machined residual stress profile to allow process planning in achieving desired residual stress profile.
This research seeks to fill that void by developing a novel approach to enable the extraction of cutting process and tool geometry parameters from a desired or required residual stress profile. More specifically, the model consists in determining the depth of cut, the tool edge radius and the cutting forces needed to obtain a prescribed residual stress profile for an orthogonal machining operation. The model is based on the inverse solution of a physics-based modeling approach of the orthogonal machining operation and the inverse solution of the residual stress prediction from Hertzian stresses. Experimental and modeling data are used to validate the developed model. The work constitutes a novel approach in engineering residual stress in a machined component.

Stress And Fracture Analysis Of Riveted JointsKecelioglu, Galip 01 November 2008 (has links) (PDF)
The objective of this study is to model and analyze a three dimensional single riveted lap joint (with and without a crack). By using finite element method, stress and fracture analyses are carried out under both the residual stress field and external tensile loading. Using a two step simulation, riveting process and subsequent tensile loading of the lap joint are simulated to determine the residual and overall stress state. Residual stress state due to riveting is obtained by interference and clamping misfit method. By employing different interference and clamping misfit values, the effects of riveting process parameters on stress state are examined. Two cracks namely the semi elliptical surface crack at faying surfaces of plates and the quarter elliptical corner crack at rivet hole are the most widely observed crack types in riveted joints. Fracture analysis of cracked riveted joints is carried out by introducing these two crack types to the outer plate at a plane perpendicular to the loading. The mixed mode stress intensity factors (SIFs) and energy release rates (G) around the crack front are obtained by using displacement correlation technique (DCT). Effects riveting process parameters (interference and clamping ratios) and geometrical parameters (crack shape and size) on fracture parameters are studied. The stress intensity factor solutions presented herein could be useful for correlating fatigue crack growth rates, fracture toughness computation, and multiple site damage (MSD) analysis in aircraft bodies.

Relaxation and nanomechanical studies of the vickers residual stress field in glassKese, Kwadwo O. January 2004 (has links)
<p>The Vickers residual stress field (VRSF) in soda-lime glass results from the elastic-plastic contact event that takes place when a Vickers diamond pyramid is loaded onto the surface of the material in an indentation cycle. The importance of elastic-plastic indentation lies in the contact damage that it gives rise to in the surface of the glass. Since such surface flaws can be characterised, with respect to shape and size, they offer the opportunity to study naturally occurring flaws in glass and brittle materials in general. The residual stress field is not passive; rather it exerts a crack opening force on the associated crack system during subsequent strength testing of a Vickers-indented sample through a residual stress field coefficient, c. Besides the strength-controlling properties, the elastic-plastic contact residual stress field is also important as a region where the influence of mechanical excitation on material properties such as hardness, H, and elastic modulus, E, can be studied.</p><p>This thesis concerns studies that were made to characterise the Vickers residual stress field by first measuring the magnitude and distribution of stresses around it, using nanoindentation with a cube corner tip. With a Berkovich tip in nanoindentation, experiments were conducted in the VRSF to study the dependence of hardness, H and elastic modulus, E, on stresses in soda-lime glass: a strong E dependence on stress was observed, while H was not affected unless the stresses were high. In the process, a method was developed to determine the true contact area during elastic-plastic nanoindentation when the Oliver-Pharr method is used for the data analysis.</p><p>The observed elastic modulus dependence on stress was then utilised in a study where it was shown that the VRSF responds differently to relaxation annealing on either side of the glass transition temperature. This result was then used to explain strength recovery trends in annealed Vickers-indented glass specimens.</p>

Stress-Strain Management of Heteroepitaxial Polycrystalline Silicon Carbide FilmsLocke, Christopher William 01 January 2011 (has links)
Silicon carbide (SiC) is one of the hardest known materials and is also, by good fortune, a wide bandgap semiconductor. While the application of SiC for high-temperature and high-power electronics is fairly well known, its utility as a highly robust, chemically-inert material for microelectrical mechanical systems (MEMS) is only beginning to be well recognized. SiC can be grown on both native SiC substrates or on Si using heteroepitaxial growth methods which affords the possibility to use Si micromachining methods to fabricate advanced SiC MEMS devices.
The control of film stress in heteroepitaxial silicon carbide films grown on polysilicon-on-oxide substrates has been investigated. It is known that the size and structure of grains within polycrystalline films play an important role in determining the magnitude and type of stress present in a film, i.e. tensile or compressive. Silicon carbide grown on LPCVD polysilicon seed-films exhibited a highly-textured grain structure and displayed either a positive or negative stress gradient depending on the initial thickness of the polysilicon seed-layer. In addition a high-quality (111) oriented 3C-SiC on (111)Si heteroepitaxial process has been developed and is reported. SiC MEMS structures, both polycrystalline (i.e., poly-3C-SiC) and monocrystalline (i.e., 3C-SiC) were realized using micromachining methods. These structures were used to extract the stress properties of the films, with a particular focus on separating the gradient and uniform stress components.

Modelling the Effects of Element Doping and Temperature Cycling on the Fracture Toughness of β-NiAl / α-Al2O3 Interfaces in Gas Turbine EnginesTyler, Samson 21 January 2013 (has links)
This document describes work performed related to the determination of how elemental additions
affect the interfacial fracture toughness of thermal barrier coatings at the bond coat/thermally grown oxide interface in gas turbines. These turbines are exposed to cyclical thermal loading, therefore a simulation was designed to model this interface in a temperature cycle between 200 K and 1000 K that included oxide growth between 2 μm and 27 μm. The fracture toughness of this interface was then determined to elucidate the function of elemental additions. It was shown that minimal concentrations of atomic species, such as hafnium and yttrium cause notable increases in the toughness of the bond coat/thermally grown oxide interface, while other species, such as sulphur, can dramatically reduce the toughness. Furthermore, it was shown that, contrary to some empirical results, the addition of platinum has a negligible effect on the fracture toughness of this interface.
