This paper is Part 2 of two papers illustrating how isochronous stress strain curves can be used to calculate creep stresses and damage for pressure vessel components. Part 1 [1], illustrated the use of isochronous stress strain curves to obtain creep stresses and damages on two simple example problems which were solved using closed form solution. In Part 2, the isochronous method is implemented in finite element analysis to determine creep stresses and damages on pressure vessel components. Various different pressure vessel components are studied using this method and the results obtained using this method is compared time explicit Omega creep model. The results obtained from the isochronous method is found to be in good agreement with the time explicit Omega creep model.

This paper is Part 1 of two papers illustrating how isochronous curves can be used to determine creep stress and damage. In Part 1 of the paper two simple examples of two bars under axial load and a beam in pure bending are illustrated using a closed form solution to determine the creep stress and damage from an isochronous stress strain curves. For the two examples, the Omega material model was used for generating the isochronous stress strain curve and for computing the creep damage. The closed from solutions are compared with finite element analysis using isochronous stress strain curves as well as time explicit Omega creep model. The results from all the three analysis are found to be in good agreement.

Composite Pressure Vessel

In this paper, we developed an exact analytical 3D elasticity solution to investigate mechanical behavior of a thick multilayered anisotropic fiber-reinforced pressure vessel subjected to multiple mechanical loadings. This closed-form solution was implemented in a computer program, and analytical results were compared to finite element analysis (FEA) calculations. In order to predict through-thickness stresses accurately, three-dimensional finite element meshes were used in the FEA since shell meshes can only be used to predict in-plane strength. Three-dimensional FEA results are in excellent agreement with the analytical results. Finally, using the proposed analytical approach, we evaluated structural damage and failure conditions of the composite pressure vessel using the Tsai–Wu failure criteria and predicted a maximum burst pressure.

Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) are promising materials for actuation in space applications, because of the relatively large deformations and forces that they offer. However, their complex behaviour and interaction of several physical domains (electrical, thermal and mechanical), the study of SMA behaviour is a challenging field. Present work aims at correlating the Finite Element (FE) analysis of SMA with closed form solutions and experimental data. Though sufficient literature is available on closed form solution of SMA, not much detail is available on the Finite element Analysis. In the present work an attempt is made for characterization of SMA through solving the governing equations by established closed form solution, and finally correlating FE results with these data. Extensive experiments were conducted on 0.3mm diameter NiTinol SMA wire at various temperatures and stress conditions and these results were compared with FE analysis conducted using MSC.Marc. A comparison of results from finite element analysis with the experimental data exhibits fairly good agreement.

Future oxy-fuel and hydrogen-fired turbines promise increased efficiency and low emissions. However, this comes at the expense of increased thermal load from higher inlet temperatures and a change in the working fluid in the gas path, leading to aero-thermal characteristics that are significantly different than those in traditional gas turbines. A computational methodology, based on three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) and damage mechanics is presented for predicting the evolution of creep in airfoils in these advanced turbine systems. Information revealed from three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of external heat transfer and thermal loading over a generic airfoil provides detailed local distributions of pressure, surface temperature, and heat flux penetrating through the thermal barrier coated layer. There is an additional mechanical loading due to the centrifugal acceleration of the airfoil. Finite element analysis is then used to predict temperature and stress fields over the domain of the airfoil. The damage mechanics-based creep model uses a scalar damage parameter. This creep model is coupled with finite element analysis to predict the evolution of stress and creep damage over the entire airfoil. Visualization of the creep damage evolution over the airfoil shows the regions that are most susceptible to failure by creep.

ABSTRACTIn MEMS packages and silicon devices, the adhesion of interconnects to the substrate is a critical reliability issue. A Precracked Line Scratch Test (PLST) is among one of the available tests to measure the thin line adhesion. In the test, an initial crack is introduced at the interface between the thin line and the substrate. The line is then loaded from the precracked end. The load is recorded continuously while the crack propagates before and after the line buckles. This precracked line scratch test has been applied earlier to tungsten thin lines on silicon wafers [1]. A macroscopic version of the test was also performed to evaluate the analytical model [2]. In the macroscopic tests, polycarbonate lines were bonded to steel substrates with cyanoacrylate.In this paper, finite element analysis is performed for the Precracked Line Scratch Test before line buckling. The energy release rates and phase angles are calculated based on the corresponding load and crack length. The results are then compared to the closed-form solution. Macroscopic experimental model along with the finite element solution has provided a way to derive the interface fracture toughness as a function of the crack length based on the load and crack length history. With the analysis in place, the precracked line scratch test can be used conveniently to study the adhesion of interconnects to passivation layers, MEMS devices and packages on different scales.

ABSTRACTDisc rheological parameters regulate the mechanical and biological function of intervertebral disc. The knowledge of effects of degeneration on disc rheology can be beneficial for the design of new disc implants or therapy. We developed two material property identification protocols, i.e., inverse poroelas-tic finite element analysis, and biphasic closed form solution. These protocols were used to find the material properties of intact, moderate and severe degenerated porcine discs. Comparing these two computational protocols for intact and artificial degenerated discs showed they are valid in defining bi-phasic/poroelastic properties. We found that enzymatic agent disrupts the functional interactions of proteoglycans which decreased hydraulic permeability and aggregate modulus but increased the Poisson's ratio. The fatigue loading, which damages disc structure, and squeezes and occludes the matrix pores, further decreased the hydraulic permeability and the Poisson's ratio but increased the elastic modulus. The FE simulations showed the stress experienced during the creep test increases with severe degeneration but steady-state fluid loss decreases for the both moderate and severe degenerated discs. Discriminant analysis declared that the probability of correct classification using the FE analysis is higher than the results of the closed form solution. The specimen-specific models extracted from FE analysis can be additionally used for complimentary investigations on disc biomechanics.

Special Cases

A finite-element analysis is carried out for small-amplitude free vibration of laminated, anisotropic, rectangular plates having arbitrary boundary conditions, finite thickness shear moduli, rotatory inertia, and bimodulus action (different elastic properties depending upon whether the fiber-direction strain is tensile or compressive). The element has five degrees of freedom, three displacements and two slope functions, per node. An exact closed-form solution is also presented for the special case of freely supported single-layer orthotropic and two-layer, cross-ply plates. This solution provides a benchmark to evaluate the validity of the finite-element analysis. Both solutions are compared with numerical results existing in the literature for special cases (all for ordinary, not bimodulus, materials), and good agreement is obtained.
