Stretch-induced wrinkling of thin sheetsNayyar, Vishal 25 September 2013 (has links)
Thin sheets and membrane structures are widely used in space applications such as solar sails, sunshields and membrane optics. Surface flatness over a large area is one of the key requirements for many applications using the flexible thin structures. However, wrinkles are commonly observed in thin sheets. It is thus important to understand the mechanics of thin sheets for practical applications that require reliable control of surface wrinkles. In this study, a model problem of stretch-induced wrinkling of thin sheets is considered. First, a two-dimensional (2-D) finite element model was developed to determine stretch-induced stress distribution patterns in hyperelastic thin sheets, assuming no wrinkles. As a prerequisite for wrinkling, development of compressive stresses in the transverse direction was found to depend on both the length-to-width aspect ratio of the sheet and the applied tensile strain. Next, an eigenvalue analysis was performed to predict the critical conditions for buckling of the elastic sheet under the prescribed boundary conditions, followed by a nonlinear post-buckling analysis to simulate evolution of stretch-induced wrinkles. Experiments were conducted to measure stretch-induced wrinkling of polyethylene thin sheets, using the three-dimensional digital image correlation (3D-DIC) technique. It was observed that the wrinkle amplitude first increased and then decreased with increasing nominal strain, in agreement with finite element simulations for a hyperelastic thin sheet. However, unlike the hyperelastic model, the stretch-induced wrinkles in the polyethylene sheet were not fully flattened at high strains (> 30%), with the residual wrinkle amplitude depending on the loading rate. The hyper-viscoelastic and the parallel network nonlinear viscoelastic material models were adopted for finite element simulations to improve the agreement with the experiments, including the wrinkle amplitude, residual wrinkles and rate dependence. Finally it is noted that wrinkling is sensitive to defects and material inhomogeneity in thin sheets. By varying the elastic stiffness in a narrow region, numerical simulations show drastically different wrinkling behavior, including the critical strain and evolution of wrinkle amplitude and wavelength. In conclusion, a comprehensive understanding of stretch-induced wrinkling is established, where geometry, material, and boundary conditions all play important roles. / text

Estudo do processo de fabricação de alvos de folhas finas de urânio metálico para produção de Mo-99 / Study of the process of fine metallic uranium sheet targeting for Mo-99 productionSouza, José Antonio Batista de 05 October 2018 (has links)
O Tecnécio-99m (99mTc), gerado a partir do decaimento do Molibdênio-99 (99Mo), é o radionuclídeo mais conveniente para a execução de procedimentos de diagnósticos médicos, devido à sua emissão gama bem característica e de fácil detecção. O método utilizado para produzir 99Mo é através da fissão do 235U incorporado nos chamados alvos de irradiação. Duas rotas estão sendo desenvolvidas para a produção do 99Mo por fissão para o Reator Multipropósito Brasileiro (RMB), ambas utilizando urânio de baixo enriquecimento (LEU): 1) A primeira a dissolução básica, que é baseada na tecnologia de alvos de dispersão UAlx-Al. 2) A segunda emprega a dissolução ácida de alvos de folhas finas de urânio metálico. A principal vantagem dos alvos de folha fina de urânio metálico sobre os alvos de dispersão UAlx-Al é a alta densidade do urânio metálico. Com o intuito de compreender e otimizar o processo de fabricação de alvos de folhas finas foi realizado um estudo da fusão do urânio metálico, laminação de folhas finas, caracterização microestrutural e montagem dos alvos, definindo assim, os procedimentos específicos para a produção desse tipo de alvo com as características dos alvos fabricados internacionalmente. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que o processo de fabricação dos lingotes e de lâminas de urânio metálico por meio de laminação a quente possibilitaram a obtenção de lâminas com espessura entre 250 e 300 μm. O processo de laminação a frio possibilitou a obtenção de folhas finas com espessura de ±125 μm que atende à especificação internacional. O uso de óxido de alumínio como material para prevenir caldeamento do tablete de urânio mostrou-se eficiente, substituindo com vantagens o uso de óxido de ítrio. A microestrutura após o tratamento térmico apresentou grãos equiaxiais pequenos, e a realização de um resfriamento rápido de 5 minutos após o tratamento térmico foi suficiente para se eliminar a textura da folha fina de urânio metálico. O processo de montagem das folhas finas no alvo tubular foi realizado por pré-conformação da folha fina, facilitando a montagem. O processo de consolidação do alvo foi realizado por expansão por tração e a folga após a consolidação (\"gap de ar\") mostrou-satisfatória. As dimensões finais dos alvos tubulares atenderam à especificação internacional. / Technetium-99m (99mTc) is generated from the decay of Molybdenum-99 (99Mo). This element is the most convenient radionuclide for application in medical diagnostic procedures, once that its gamma emission is well known and of easily detected. The method used to produce 99Mo is through fission of the 235U embedded in so-called irradiation targets. Two routes are being developed for the production of 99Mo per fission to the Brazilian Multipurpose Reactor (RMB), both using low enriched uranium (LEU): 1) The first basic dissolution, which is based on the technology of dispersion targets UAlx-Al. 2) The second employs the acidic dissolution of thin sheet targets of metallic uranium. The main advantage of uranium metal foil targets on the UAlx-Al dispersion targets is the high density of metallic uranium. In order to understand and optimize the process of manufacturing thin sheet targets, about the fusion of metallic uranium, thin sheet lamination, microstructural characterization and assembly of the target was carried out. Therefore the specific procedures for the production of this type of target with the characteristics of the targets manufactured internationally could be defined. The results showed that the process of manufacturing ingots and sheets of metallic uranium by hot rolling allows obtaining sheets with thickness between 250 and 300 μm. The cold rolling process allows obtaining thin sheets with a thickness of ± 125 μm which are in accordance with the international specification. The use of aluminum oxide as a material to prevent uranium tablet firing proved to be efficient, replacing with advantage the use of yttrium oxide. The microstructure after the heat treatment showed small equiaxial grains. A fast cooling of 5 minutes after the heat treatment was enough to eliminate the texture of the thin sheet of metallic uranium. The process of assembling the thin sheets in the tubular target was performed by preforming the thin sheet, facilitating the assembly. The process of consolidating the target was performed by tensile expansion and the clearance after consolidation (\"air gap\") was satisfactory. The final dimensions of the tubular targets have met the international specification.

Soldagem a arco elétrico com proteção gasosa em juntas de chapas finas de aço / Gas metal arc welding of thin sheet steelsDaltro, Adnauer Tarquínio 01 June 2000 (has links)
O uso de chapas finas de aço, revestidas ou não, tem sido crescente nos últimos anos, principalmente aquelas que tem revestimento à base de zinco. Isto ocorre tanto na indústria automobilística e mecânica como na construção civil, que geralmente fabricam suas peças e estruturas utilizando um procedimento de soldagem. O objetivo deste trabalho é estabelecer procedimentos de soldagem à arco elétrico com proteção gasosa - GMAW - com transferência por curto circuito, para elementos de chapa fina de aço carbono não revestido e aço zincado, de modo a se obter junções de qualidade aceitável e diminuição das distorções decorrentes dos ciclos térmicos presentes durante a soldagem e, consequentemente a redução das tensões residuais. Em termos de qualidade da solda, propões-se uma combinação de consumíveis disponíveis no mercado, de modo a reduzir os defeitos como: porosidade, respingos, trincas e perda de revestimento. No caso das chapas finas de aço zincado, a melhor combinação de consumíveis encontrada foi: arame com baixo teor de desoxidantes, ER70S-3, e como gás de proteção a mistura 8% CO2 + 92% Ar. Quanto à redução e controle das distorções, três técnicas são utilizadas. A técnica que utiliza em escoadouro dinâmico de calor, formado por um jato de gás refrigerador aplicado logo após o arco de solda durante a soldagem, apresentou maior eficiência na redução das distorções, provenientes do ciclo térmico. / The thin sheet steels, coated or not, has been widely used nowadays, mainly the hot dip galvanized steel sheets. It\'s observed as in the mechanic and automobilist industry as in the civil construction that in manufacturing of pieces and structures employ welding procedures. The aim of this work is to establish procedures to gas metal are welding with short circuit transfer of thin sheet steel elements, not coated and zinc-coated steel, in order to get junctions of acceptance quality and reduction of welding stress and distortion. This distortion arise of the thermal cycles that occur during the welding. In terms of the weld quality is defined the best consumables combination available in the market, in such a way to reduce the weld defects like porosities, spatters, cracks and loss of covering. To galvanized steel sheets, the combination: wire ER70S-3 and mixture 8%CO2 + 92% Ar showed the best performance. Three techniques were employed for control and reduce the welding distortion. One that using a spot heat sink following the arc, in this case the cooling jet, was more efficient that others techniques.

AN INVESTIGATION OF SIZE EFFECTS ON THIN SHEET FORMABILITY FOR MICROFORMING APPLICATIONSShuaib, Nasr AbdelRahman 01 January 2008 (has links)
The increasing demand for powerful miniaturized products for all industrial applications has prompted the industry to develop new and innovative manufacturing processes to fabricate miniature parts. One of the major challenges facing the industry is the dynamic market which requires continuous improvements in design and fabrication techniques. This means providing products with complex features while sustaining high functionality. As a result, microfabrication has gained a wide interest as the technology of the future, where tabletop machine systems exist. Microforming processes have the capability of achieving mass production while minimizing material waste. Microforming techniques can produce net-shape products with intricacy in fewer steps than most conventional microfabrication processes. Despite the potential advantages, the industrial utilization of microforming technology is limited. The deformation and failure modes of materials during microforming is not yet well understood and varies significantly from the behavior of materials in conventional forming operations. In order to advance the microforming technology and enable the effective fabrication of microparts, more studies on the deformation and failure of materials during microforming are needed.
In this research work, an effort to advance the current status of microforming processes for technologies of modern day essentials, is presented. The main contribution from this research is the development of a novel method for characterizing thin sheet formability by introducing a micro-mechanical bulge-forming setup. Various aspects of analyzing microscale formability, in the form of limiting strains and applied forces, along with addressing the well known size effects on miniaturization, were considered through the newly developed method. A high temperature testing method of microformed thin sheets was also developed. The aim of high temperature microforming is to study the material behavior of microformed thin sheets at elevated temperatures and to explore the capability of the known enhancement in formability at the macroscale level. The focus of this work was to develop a better understanding of tool-sheet metal interactions in microforming applications. This new knowledge would provide a predictive capability that will eliminate the current time-consuming and empirical techniques that, and this in turn would be expected to significantly lower the overall manufacturing cost and improve product quality.

Konstruktionsintegrierte Optimierung mit intelligenten Bauteilfeatures im DünnblechbereichKrauß, Alexander, Fischer, Uwe 28 September 2017 (has links) (PDF)
Globalisierung, gestiegener Konkurrenzdruck und ein effektiver Einsatz von Ressourcen zwingen die Unternehmen – nicht nur in der Automobilindustrie – zu einer permanenten Effizienzsteigerung im Entwicklungsprozess. Um schnell das optimale Design zu finden, kommen CAD- und CAE- Programme in einer frühen Entwicklungsphase des Bauteils zum Einsatz. Durch eine virtuelle Überprüfung und Verbesserung z.B. von Funktion, Gewicht und Lebensdauer können kostenintensive Prototypen und Versuche erheblich minimiert werden. In der Automobilindustrie rücken zudem akustische Eigenschaften immer mehr in den Fokus. Ein geringes Innenraumgeräusch oder der spezielle »Sound« eines Fahrzeuges sind klassenspezifische Qualitätsmerkmale, welche die Kaufentscheidung des Kunden stark beeinflussen (Zeller 2009). Bei der Konstruktion von Karosseriebauteilen muss dabei besonderes Augenmerk auf die Vermeidung von Resonanzeffekten gelegt werden. Moderne CAD-Programme – wie CATIA V5® der Fairma Dassault – bieten bereits die Möglichkeit im CAD-Workflow Bauteileigenschaften zu ermitteln. Somit verschmelzen zunehmend die Grenzen zwischen Berechnung und Konstruktion. Allerdings setzt jeder Teilbereich Erfahrung und Expertenwissen voraus, wodurch immer noch eine entsprechende Kaskadierung der Aufgaben im Entwicklungsprozess zu finden ist. Diese wird nachstehend erläutert.

Propriedades mecânicas de tração e fadiga de chapa fina de um aço livre de intersticiais / Monotonic and fatigue properties of thin sheet of an interstitial free steelMilan, Marcelo Tadeu 18 June 1999 (has links)
Neste trabalho foram determinadas as propriedades monotônicas e de fadiga de baixo-ciclo em chapa fina de um aço livre de intersticiais (aço IF) com adição de titânio, utilizado na indústria automobilística. Os ensaios de fadiga foram realizados sob controle de deformação com Rε = -1 e com o auxílio de um sistema de alinhamento de garras. O material apresenta diferentes comportamentos de fadiga nas direções transversal e longitudinal (em relação à direção de laminação). Comparação entre a curva tensão-deformação monotônica e a curva tensão-deformação cíclica mostra que os corpos de prova transversais têm endurecimento cíclico para as amplitudes de deformação estudadas. A relação deformação-vida obtida para a direção transversal é dada por Δεt/2 = 0,0186(2Nf)-0,262 + 0,235(2Nf)-0,476 com ponto de transição em 2Nt = 1,4x105 reversos, não sendo possível obtê-la para a direção longitudinal devido a problemas de flambagem. Vários métodos estimativos de propriedades de fadiga a partir de propriedades monotônicas foram comparados aos resultados experimentais. Os métodos da correlação quatro pontos e inclinação universal modificada apresentando boa correlação para a região de baixo-ciclo. Análise fratográfica por microscopia eletrônica de varredura mostrou a presença de estrias de propagação do estágio II, evidenciando a alta dutilidade do material. / In the present work, the monotonic and low cycle fatigue properties of thin sheet of interstitial free steel containing titanium additions, used in the automotive industry, were investigated. Fatigue tests were conducted under deformation control (Rε = -1) using a grip alignment fixture. The material exhibits different fatigue behavior for the transverse and longitudinal directions (in relation to the rolling direction). A comparison between the monotonic stress-strain curve and the cyclic stress-strain curve in the transverse direction showed that the material exhibits cyclic hardening in all strain amplitudes tested. The strain-life relationship obtained for transverse direction is given by Δεt/2 = 0,0186(2Nf)-0,262 + 0,235(2Nf)-0,476 with transition point in 2Nt = 1,4x105 reverses; buckling of longitudinal specimens made impossible to obtain such relationship. Several prediction methods of fatigue properties from monotonic properties were compared to the experimental results. The Four Point Correlation and the Modified Universal Slopes Methods showed a good correlation for the low cycle region. Fractographic analysis through Scanning Eletronic Microscopy showed the presence of Stage II striations, giving support to the high ductility of the material.

Direct and Inverse Methods for Waveguides and Scattering Problems in the Time DomainAbenius, Erik January 2005 (has links)
Numerical simulation is an important tool in understanding the electromagnetic field and how it interacts with the environment. Different topics for time-domain finite-difference (FDTD) and finite-element (FETD) methods for Maxwell's equations are treated in this thesis. Subcell models are of vital importance for the efficient modeling of small objects that are not resolved by the grid. A novel model for thin sheets using shell elements is proposed. This approach has the advantage of taking into account discontinuities in the normal component of the electric field, unlike previous models based on impedance boundary conditions (IBCs). Several results are presented to illustrate the capabilities of the shell element approach. Waveguides are of fundamental importance in many microwave applications, for example in antenna feeds. The key issues of excitation and truncation of waveguides are addressed. A complex frequency shifted form of the uniaxial perfectly matched layer (UPML) absorbing boundary condition (ABC) in FETD is developed. Prism elements are used to promote automatic grid generation and enhance the performance. Results are presented where reflection errors below -70dB are obtained for different types of waveguides, including inhomogeneous cases. Excitation and analysis via the scattering parameters are achieved using waveguide modes computed by a general frequency-domain mode solver for the vector Helmholtz equation. Huygens surfaces are used in both FDTD and FETD for excitation in waveguide ports. Inverse problems have received an increased interest due to the availability of powerful computers. An important application is non-destructive evaluation of material. A time-domain, minimization approach is presented where exact gradients are computed using the adjoint problem. The approach is applied to a general form of Maxwell's equations including dispersive media and UPML. Successful reconstruction examples are presented both using synthetic and experimental measurement data. Parameter reduction of complex geometries using simplified models is an interesting topic that leads to an inverse problem. Gradients for subcell parameters are derived and a successful reconstruction example is presented for a combined dielectric sheet and slot geometry.
