Experience has shown that the pipe steel used in the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System has complex properties that must be taken into account in making safety assessments of the pipe. To obtain a better understanding of the steel behavior, a detailed test program has recently been undertaken. The test results have been used to develop a nonlinear model of the steel for use in stress and deformation analysis of the pipeline. This paper first outlines the model, and shows that it captures important aspects of the steel behavior, including progressive yielding and anisotropy. The paper then shows how the values of the model parameters can be calculated from experimental stress-strain data, and how the model can be used for the analysis of pressurized pipelines, accounting for interaction between hoop and longitudinal stress. The theory is based on von Mises yield and the Mroz plasticity model.

Concrete Face Rockfill Dam

A new analysis method of stress and deformation of concrete face rockfill dam is established based on ABAQUS. This new approach includes secondary development of Duncan E-B material model and secondary development of Goodman frictional model of contact between concrete face and cushion. Meanwhile, contact characteristics is considered among concrete face and between concrete face and plinth. According to dam prototype observation, the analytic results are in good agreement with calculation results from the practical engineering, which indicates that the analysis method can be used widely.

Critical Buckling Strain

High strength steel pipes (HSSP) have become more popular recently for highly pressurized pipelines built to transport natural gas from remote fields to energy markets. Material tests on HSSP showed significant material anisotropy caused by the pipe making process, UOE. A combined isotropic-kinematic hardening material model is developed based on observations made on longitudinal and transverse stress strain data of HSSP. This material model combines linear isotropic hardening with Armstrong-Fredrick kinematic hardening and can be easily calibrated by longitudinal and transverse tension coupon test results. The proposed material model is used to show how considering material anisotropy affects the critical buckling strain of HSSP in the longitudinal direction. Finite element (FE) models are developed to simulate one pressurized and one unpressurised HSSP tested under monotonic displacement-controlled bending. Isotropic and anisotropic material modeling methods are used for each HSSP models. In the isotropic material model, longitudinal stress-strain data of HSSP material is used to define the stress-strain relationship. In the anisotropic model combined hardening material model, calibrated by longitudinal and transverse HSSP stress-strain data, is used. Critical buckling strain predictions by isotropic and anisotropic models of these pipes are compared with test results and also with some available criteria in standards and literatures. These comparisons show that anisotropic models give predictions closer to test results.

ABSTRACT The tire model is essential for accurate and efficient vehicle dynamic simulation. In this article, an in-plane flexible ring tire model is proposed, in which the tire is composed of a rigid rim, a number of discretized lumped mass belt points, and numerous massless tread blocks attached on the belt. One set of tire model parameters is identified by approaching the predicted results with ADAMS® FTire virtual test results for one particular cleat test through the particle swarm method using MATLAB®. Based on the identified parameters, the tire model is further validated by comparing the predicted results with FTire for the static load-deflection tests and other cleat tests. Finally, several important aspects regarding the proposed model are discussed.

Multiaxial testing of the small intestinal wall is critical for understanding its biomechanical properties and defining material models, but limited data and material models are available. The aim of the present study was to develop a microstructure-based material model for the small intestine and test whether there was a significant variation in the passive biomechanical properties along the length of the organ. Rat tissue was cut into eight segments that underwent inflation/extension testing, and their nonlinearly hyper-elastic and anisotropic response was characterized by a fiber-reinforced model. Extensive parametric analysis showed a non-significant contribution to the model of the isotropic matrix and circumferential-fiber family, leading also to severe over-parameterization. Such issues were not apparent with the reduced neo-Hookean and (axial and diagonal)-fiber family model, that provided equally accurate fitting results. Absence from the model of either the axial or diagonal-fiber families led to ill representations of the force- and pressure-diameter data, respectively. The primary direction of anisotropy, designated by the estimated orientation angle of diagonal-fiber families, was about 35° to the axial direction, corroborating prior microscopic observations of submucosal collagen-fiber orientation. The estimated model parameters varied across and within the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, corroborating histologically assessed segmental differences in layer thicknesses.

Abstract The current report is devoted to the flexural analysis of a composite structural insulated panel (CSIP) with magnesium oxide board facings and expanded polystyrene (EPS) core, that was recently introduced to the building industry. An advanced nonlinear FE model was created in the ABAQUS environment, able to simulate the CSIP’s flexural behavior in great detail. An original custom code procedure was developed, which allowed to include material bimodularity to significantly improve the accuracy of computational results and failure mode predictions. Material model parameters describing the nonlinear range were identified in a joint analysis of laboratory tests and their numerical simulations performed on CSIP beams of three different lengths subjected to three- and four-point bending. The model was validated by confronting computational results with experimental results for natural scale panels; a good correlation between the two results proved that the proposed model could effectively support the CSIP design process.

This study investigated the vibrational behaviour of a rotating two-blade propeller at different rotational speeds by using self-tracking laser Doppler vibrometry. Given that a self-tracking method necessitates the accurate adjustment of test setups to reduce measurement errors, a test table with sufficient rigidity was designed and built to enable the adjustment and repair of test components. The results of the self-tracking test on the rotating propeller indicated an increase in natural frequency and a decrease in the amplitude of normalized mode shapes as rotational speed increases. To assess the test results, a numerical model created in ABAQUS was used. The model parameters were tuned in such a way that the natural frequency and associated mode shapes were in good agreement with those derived using a hammer test on a stationary propeller. The mode shapes obtained from the hammer test and the numerical (ABAQUS) modelling were compared using the modal assurance criterion. The examination indicated a strong resemblance between the hammer test results and the numerical findings. Hence, the model can be employed to determine the other mechanical properties of two-blade propellers in test scenarios.

Cutting Simulations

AbstractAnalyzing the chip formation process by means of the finite element method (FEM) is an established procedure to understand the cutting process. For a realistic simulation, different input models are required, among which the material model is crucial. To determine the underlying material model parameters, inverse methods have found an increasing acceptance within the last decade. The calculated model parameters exhibit good validity within the domain of investigation, but suffer from their non-uniqueness. To overcome the drawback of the non-uniqueness, the literature suggests either to enlarge the domain of experimental investigations or to use more process observables as validation parameters. This paper presents a novel approach merging both suggestions: a fully automatized procedure in conjunction with the use of multiple process observables is utilized to investigate the non-uniqueness of material model parameters for the domain of cutting simulations. The underlying approach is two-fold: Firstly, the accuracy of the evaluated process observables from FE simulations is enhanced by establishing an automatized routine. Secondly, the number of process observables that are considered in the inverse approach is increased. For this purpose, the cutting force, cutting normal force, chip temperature, chip thickness, and chip radius are taken into account. It was shown that multiple parameter sets of the material model can result in almost identical simulation results in terms of the simulated process observables and the local material loads.

Modeling of strains and stresses of material nanostructuresStress and deformation analysis of materials and devices at the nanoscale level are topics of intense research in materials science and mechanics. In these investigations two approaches are observed. First, natural for the atomistic scale description is based on quantum and molecular mechanics. Second, characteristic for the macroscale continuum model description, is modified by constitutive laws taking atomic interactions into account. In the present paper both approaches are presented. For a discrete system of material points (atoms, molecules, clusters), measures of strain and stress, important from the mechanical viewpoint, are given. Numerical examples of crack propagation and deformation of graphite sheets (graphens) illustrate the behavior of the discrete systems.
