Abstract Aluminum powder compaction was studied using both test and simulation. Cold compaction, hot compaction and vibration assisted (cold) compaction tests were conducted to achieve different density ratios. Firstly, hot compaction test (at 300°C, compression pressure 140MPa) improved about 6% compared with cold compaction under the same compression pressure. Secondly, although the relative density ratio doesn’t obviously improve at vibration assisted (cold) compaction, the strength of the specimens made under vibration loading is much better than those of cold compaction. Additionally, finite element models with well calibrated Drucker Prager Cap (DPC) material constitutive model were built in Abaqus/standard to simulate the powder compaction process. The results of finite element model have very good correlations with test results up to the tested range, and this finite element model further predicts the loading conditions needed to achieve the higher density ratios. Two exponential equations of the predicted density ratio were obtained by combining the test data and the simulation results. A new analytical solution was developed to predict the axial pressure versus the density ratio for the powder compaction according to DPC material model. The results between the analytical solution and the simulation model have a very good match.

The finite element model of bulging at elevated temperature was established by using of pam-stamp 2007. The bulging tests of boron steel sheets were also performed on the self-designed and manufactured tool system. The simulated results of bulging height, limit strain and the minimum temperature of specimens are consistent with that of tests. It demonstrates the validity and accuracy of the finite element model established in pam-stamp. The influences of the friction coefficient, the temperature and the stamping velocity on the hot bulging are analyzed numerically. The friction condition should be improved and the minimum temperature gradient is recommended in practical hot stamping production.

This paper presents finite element modelling (FEM) of a reinforced concrete (RC) frame subjected to elevated temperature. The work presented is part of the UK-India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI) project. In this project, an experimental test of sub-assemblage frame with elevated temperature has been performed at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee, India. The finite element model using ABAQUS software has been used to validate the increased in temperature distribution on reinforced concrete frame exposed to fire. The idea of this study is to design a compartment fire, and determination of emissivity value at different height. And composition of hot gases was calculated. Gas temperatures used was based on the average temperature-curve obtained in the fire test. The validity of the finite element model was established by comparing the predicted values from the FEM with test data direct from fire test results. The results obtained indicate that suggested FEM analysis procedure is capable of modelling temperature in compartment fires.

Abstract A finite element model was developed to simulate the tire-rim interface. Elastomers were modeled by nonlinear incompressible elements, whereas plies were simulated by cord-rubber composite elements. Gap elements were used to simulate the opening between tire and rim at zero inflation pressure. This opening closed when the inflation pressure was increased gradually. The predicted distribution of contact pressure at the tire-rim interface agreed very well with the available experimental measurements. Several variations of the tire-rim interference fit were analyzed.

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) beam finite element model was developed to investigate the torsional stiffness of a twisted steel-reinforced cord-rubber belt structure. The present 3D beam element takes into account the coupled extension, bending, and twisting deformations characteristic of the complex behavior of cord-rubber composite structures. The extension-twisting coupling due to the twisted nature of the cords was also considered in the finite element model. The results of torsional stiffness obtained from the finite element analysis for twisted cords and the two-ply steel cord-rubber belt structure are compared to the experimental data and other alternate solutions available in the literature. The effects of cord orientation, anisotropy, and rubber core surrounding the twisted cords on the torsional stiffness properties are presented and discussed.
