Abstract The present work deals with the development of an analytical model incorporating the effects of anisotropy and strain hardening to predict the springback in V-bending of two-ply sheet metal using a punch profile radius of 15 mm and included a bend angle of 90 deg. In the analytical model, the total bending moment is determined from resulting bending stresses for two different layers arranged in parallel planes one above the other and a new radius of curvature after springback is determined by applying a negative bending moment. The two-ply sheet composed of layers of AA1050 and SS430 is characterized for its tensile properties to be used in analytical and numerical models for prediction of springback. To study the effect of each layer during bending operation, two possible cases of sheet placements during bending and springback are studied; i.e., in the first case, the inner layer is of AA1050 while the SS430 layer is the outer layer whereas in the second case it is opposite. In all the cases of springback experiments when the outer layer is of SS430, the springback values are higher than the values obtained with the specimens when the inner layer is of SS430. This could be attributed to the higher tensile strength of the stainless steel layer and the higher bending radius experienced by it. The springback behaviors are also analyzed by simulations using Hill's anisotropic yield criterion in abaqus software. The springback results obtained by simulations and analytical models are in good agreement in general; however, in some cases, discrepancy of more than 15% is observed in the analytical results when compared with the experimental results.

Cyclic loading of surgical plating constructs can precipitate bone screw failure. As the frictional contact between the plate and the bone is lost, cantilever bending loads are transferred from the plate to the head of the screw, which over time causes fatigue fracture from cyclic bending. In this research, analytical models using beam mechanics theory were developed to describe the elastic deflection of a bicortical screw under a statically applied load. Four analytical models were developed to simulate the various restraint conditions applicable to bicortical support of the screw. In three of the models, the cortical bone near the tip of the screw was simulated by classical beam constraints (1) simply supported, (2) cantilever, and (3) split distributed load. In the final analytical model, the cortices were treated as an elastic foundation, whereby the response of the constraint was proportional to screw deflection. To test the predictive ability of the new analytical models, 3.5 mm cortical bone screws were tested in a synthetic bone substitute. A novel instrument was developed to measure the bending deflection of screws under radial loads (225 N, 445 N, and 670 N) applied by a surrogate surgical plate at the head of the screw. Of the four cases considered, the analytical model utilizing an elastic foundation most accurately predicted deflection at the screw head, with an average difference of 19% between the measured and predicted results. Determination of the bending moments from the elastic foundation model revealed that a maximum moment of 2.3 N m occurred near the middle of the cortical wall closest to the plate. The location of the maximum bending moment along the screw axis was consistent with the fracture location commonly observed in clinical practice.

As forming of the double or multiple curvature surfaces, includes roller forming at least once in the sequential process; its efficient performance is of great importance for controlling the final product dimensions. Most efficient and economical way to produce the cylinder is to roll the plate through the roller in single pass. Literature review revels that, most of the reported analytical models for the prediction of springback were developed with the assumption of zero initial strain. However, in practice multiple pass bending is recommended to work within the power limitation of the machine and to improve the accuracy of the final product. An attempt is made to develop the analytical model for estimation of top roller position as a function of desired radius of curvature, for multiple pass 3-roller forming of cylinders, considering real material behavior. Due to the change of Young's modulus of elasticity (E) under deformation, the springback is larger than the springback calculated with constant E. Developed analytical model was modified to include the effect of change of Young's modulus during the deformation. Developed multiple pass analytical models were compared with the single pass analytical model and experiments (on pyramid type 3-roller bending machine).

Summary The Jones (1981) steamflood model incorporates oil displacement by steam as described by Myhill and Stegemeier (1978), and a three-component capture factor based on empirical correlations. The main drawback of the model, however, is the unsatisfactory prediction of the oil production peak: It is usually significantly lower than the observed value. Our study focuses on improving this aspect of the Jones model. In our study, we simulated the production performance of a five-spot-steamflood-pattern unit and compared the results against those based on the Jones model (1981). To obtain a satisfactory match between simulation and Jones-analytical-model results, at the start and height of the production peak, the following refinements to the Jones model were necessary. First, the dimensionless steam-zone size AcD was modified to account for the decrease in oil viscosity during steamflood and its dependence on the steam injection rate. Second, the dimensionless volume of displaced oil produced VoD was modified from its square-root format to an exponential form. The modified model gave very satisfactory results for production performance for up to 20 years of simulated steamflood, compared to the original Jones model. Engineers will find the modified model an improved and useful tool for the prediction of steamflood-production performance. Introduction Steamflooding is a major enhanced-oil recovery (EOR) process applied to heavy oil reservoirs. A steamflood typically proceeds through four development phases: reservoir screening, pilot tests, fieldwide implementation, and reservoir management (Hong 1994). Steamflood-performance prediction is essential to provide information for the proper execution of each development phase. Three mathematical models (statistical, numerical, and analytical models) are often used to predict steamflood performance. Statistical models are based on the historical data of steamflood performance from other reservoirs which have similar oil and rock properties. A statistical model, however, does not include all the flow parameters, and thus may be inaccurate for a particular reservoir. Numerical models usually require a large amount of data input with lengthy calculations using computers; and they are usually CPU-, manpower- and time-consuming and also expensive. They may be extremely comprehensive and better serve as tools for research or advanced reservoir analysis. Meanwhile, analytical models are more economical, but at the expense of accuracy and flexibility. They serve as tools for engineering screening of possible reservoir candidates for field testing (Hong 1994). For many years, attempts have been made to provide analytical models for steamflood-production-performance prediction (Marx and Langenheim 1959; Boberg 1966; Mandl and Volek 1969; Neuman 1975; Myhill and Stegemeier 1978; Gomaa 1980; Jones 1981; van Lookeren 1977; Farouq Ali 1970; Miller and Leung 1985; Rhee et al. 1978; Aydelotte et al. 1982). None of these analytical models gives a comparison with simulation results. Miller and Leung (1985) presented comparison between their analytical model and simulation results for cumulative production vs time, but the comparison for production rate vs time is not available.

In the last few years, groundwater management has concentrated on the protection of groundwater quality. An increasing number of countries has adopted policies to protect vital groundwater resources from deterioration by regulating human interaction with the subsurface, the use of potential contaminants, land use restrictions, and waste transport and storage. One of the more common regulatory approaches to the protection of groundwater focuses on public water supplies to reduce the potential of human exposure to hazardous contaminants. Under the framework of the Safe Drinking Water Act amended by U.S. Congress in 1986, The U.S.EPA (1987) issued guidelines for the delineation of wellhead protection areas, recommending the use of analytical and numerical models for the identification of such areas. In this study, the theoretical background for the development of one such numerical model is presented. Two real-world applications are discussed: in the first case history, the model is applied to a Superfund Site in Puerto Rico as a tool for assessment of the effectiveness of a proposed pump-and-treat scheme for aquifer remediation. Based on simulation results for the evolution of the existing contaminant plume it was verified that such a scheme would not work with the proposed purging wells. The second case history is the delineation of a wellhead protection area in the Town of Littleton, Massachusetts, and subsequent design of a monitoring well network.

AbstractAdditive manufacturing is a promising tool that has proved its value in various applications. Among its technologies, the fused filament fabrication 3D printing technique stands out with its potential to serve a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple educational purposes to industrial and medical applications. However, as many materials and composites can be utilized for this technique, the processability of these materials can be a limiting factor for producing products with the required quality and properties. Over the past few years, many researchers have attempted to better understand the melt extrusion process during 3D printing. Moreover, other research groups have focused on optimizing the process by adjusting the process parameters. These attempts were conducted using different methods, including proposing analytical models, establishing numerical models, or experimental techniques. This review highlights the most relevant work from recent years on fused filament fabrication 3D printing and discusses the future perspectives of this 3D printing technology.

The CANYVAL-C (CubeSat Astronomy by NASA and Yonsei using a virtual telescope alignment for coronagraph) is a space science demonstration mission that involves taking several images of the solar corona with two CubeSats—1U CubeSat (Timon) and 2U CubeSat (Pumbaa)—in formation flying. In this study, we developed and evaluated structural and thermal designs of the CubeSats Timon and Pumbaa through finite element analyses, considering the nonlinearity effects of the nylon wire of the deployable solar panels installed in Pumbaa. On-orbit thermal analyses were performed with an accurate analytical model for a visible camera on Timon and a micro propulsion system on Pumbaa, which has a narrow operating temperature range. Finally, the analytical models were correlated for enhancing the reliability of the numerical analysis. The test results indicated that the CubeSats are structurally safe with respect to the launch environment and can activate each component under the space thermal environment. The natural frequency of the nylon wire for the deployable solar panels was found to increase significantly as the wire was tightened strongly. The conditions of the thermal vacuum and cycling testing were implemented in the thermal analytical model, which reduced the differences between the analysis and testing.

The dynamic equations of a micro-positioning Scott—Russell (SR) mechanism associated with two flexible hinges and an offset are developed to calculate output responses. Both rigid and flexible hinges are considered to explore the results. The main features in the kinematics of the SR mechanism are its displacement amplification and straight-line motion, which are widely needed in practical industries. The manufacturing inaccuracy of the SR mechanism definitely causes geometric offsets of flexure hinges, and affects displacement amplification and straight-line output motion. Analytical models based on kinematics and Hamilton's principle are derived to explore the variation of linearity ratio, magnification factor, and deviation factor due to various offsets and link lengths. From numerical simulations for the SR mechanism with various offsets of flexible hinges in the conditions of different link lengths, it is found that offsets of flexure hinges obviously affect the amplifying factor and linearity ratio, and appear to dominate the changes of magnification factors. Moreover, an analytical model is also used to predict magnification factors due to various offsets. Finally, some conclusions concerning the effects of offset on the performance of the SR mechanism are drawn.

A major concern when a fractured bone is fastened by stiff-plates to the bone on its tensile surface is excessive stress shielding of the bone. The compressive stress shielding at the fracture-interface immediately after fracture-fixation delays bone healing. Likewise, the tensile stress shielding of the healed bone underneath the plate also does not enable it to recover its tensile strength. Initially, the effect of a uniaxial load and a bending moment on the assembly of bone and plate is investigated analytically. The calculations showed that the screws near the fracture site transfers more load than the screws away from the fracture site in axial loading and it is found that less force is required when the screw is placed near to fracture site than the screw placed away from the fracture site to make the bone and plate bend with same radius of curvature when subjected to bending moment. Finally, the viability of using a stiffness graded bone-plate as a fixator is studied using finite element analysis (FEA): the stiffness-graded plate cause less stress-shielding than stainless steel plate.

Abstract The residual stresses could affect the ability of components to bear loading conditions and also the performance. The researchers considered workpiece surface as a plane and ignored the effect of surface topography induced by the intermittent cutting process when modeling residual stresses. The aim of this research develops an analytical model to predict workpiece residual stresses during intermittent machining by correlating the effect of surface topography. The relative motions of tool and workpiece are analyzed for modeling thermal-mechanical and surface topography. The influence of dynamic cutting force and thermal on different positions of surface topography is also considered in analytical model. Then the residual stresses model with the surface topography effect can be developed in intermittent cutting. The analytical models of dynamic cutting force, surface topography and residual stresses are verified by the experiments. The variation trend of evaluated values of the residual stress of workpiece is basically consistent with that of measured values. The compressive residual stress of workpiece surface in highest point of the surface topography are higher than that in the lowest point.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of structural deformations and bend angle on plastic collapse load of pipe bends under an in-plane closing bending moment (IPCM). A large strain formulation of three-dimensional non-linear finite element analysis was performed using an elastic perfectly plastic material. A unified mathematical solution was proposed to estimate the collapse load of pipe bends subjected to IPCM for the considered range of bend characteristics. Design/methodology/approach ABAQUS was used to create one half of the pipe bend model due to its symmetry on the longitudinal axis. Structural deformations, i.e. ovality (Co) and thinning (Ct) varied from 0% to 20% in 5% steps while the bend angle (ø) varied from 30° to 180° in steps of 30°. Findings The plastic collapse load decreases as the bend angle increase for all pipe bend models. A remarkable effect on the collapse load was observed for bend angles between 30° and 120° beyond which a decline was noticed. Ovality had a significant effect on the collapse load with this effect decreasing as the bend angle increased. The combined effect of thinning and bend angle was minimal for the considered models and the maximum per cent variation in collapse load was 5.76% for small bend angles and bend radius pipe bends and less than 2% for other cases. Originality/value The effect of structural deformations and bend angle on collapse load of pipe bends exposed to IPCM has been not studied in the existing literature.
