The stiffness analysis of the simple supported hybrid bisteel I-section beam subjected by uniformly distributed load is considered in this paper. The hybrid bisteel I-section beam presents a composition of high-strength steel inclusions for the flanges in the region of maximum stresses and of low-strength steel for remaining volume of the beam. The explicit analytical model for evaluation of stiffness of the beams mentioned is presented. The geometrical linear approach and elastic plastic material model have been assumed. The application of high-strength steel inclusion in case perfectly elastic state of the hybrid bisteel I-section beam, increase the deflection insignificantly (up to 10%). While strain hardening effect reduces the deflection by about 4 times compared to the perfect plasticity. The verification of the theoretical analysis has been performed by the FEM. After simple transformations, the proposed model can be easily applied to the evaluation of stiffness of otherwise loaded and supported hybrid bisteel I-section beams.

The behaviour of a closed top-hat section made of Dogal 800 DP subjected to stretch-bending is studied both experimentally and numerically. The top-hat section was made by forming of a sheet using a FlexformTM fluid cell press and closed by a sheet using welding. Experiments were performed in a stretch-bending rig in two stages. During the first stage the profiles were bent under a constant horizontal stretch force. In the second stage the profiles were stretched back from the bent position. The force-displacement relations of the actuators involved in the experiments were recorded and the initiation and development of fracture during the stretching process after unloading of the die was detected by cameras. A finite element code was applied to model the forming operation and the stretch bending experiments including the unloading of the die and subsequent stretching of the profile. The elastic-plastic material model with calibrated parameters was adopted from previous studies on Dogal 800 DP, including the Cockcroft-Latham fracture criterion to detect initiation of fracture. The history variables were mapped from the forming model to the stretch-bending model. The forming process was simplified as a hydroforming operation and some deviations were observed regarding the thinning of the sheet between the model and the real process. The model of the stretch-bending experiment was able to capture the force-displacement relation during the first stage with reasonable accuracy. Some deviations between the experimental and simulated force-displacement relations were observed during the second stage, i.e. the stretch-back operation, but the initiation of fracture was well captured.

Ultrasonically assisted turning (UAT) is a novel material-processing technology, where high frequency vibration (frequency f ≈ 20kHz, amplitude a ≈15μm) is superimposed on the movement of the cutting tool. Advantages of UAT have been demonstrated for a broad spectrum of applications. Compared to conventional turning (CT), this technique allows significant improvements in processing intractable materials, such as high-strength aerospace alloys, composites and ceramics. Superimposed ultrasonic vibration yields a noticeable decrease in cutting forces, as well as a superior surface finish. A vibro-impact interaction between the tool and workpiece in UAT in the process of continuous chip formation leads to a dynamically changing stress distribution in the process zone as compared to the quasistatic one in CT. The paper presents a three-dimensional, fully thermomechanically coupled computational model of UAT incorporating a non-linear elasto-plastic material model with strain-rate sensitivity and contact interaction with friction at the chip–tool interface. 3D stress distributions in the cutting region are analysed for a representative cycle of ultrasonic vibration. The dependence of various process parameters, such as shear stresses and cutting forces on vibration frequency and amplitude is also studied.

Modeling of cyclic elastic-plastic material behavior (hardening) has been widely identified as a critical factor in the finite element (FE) simulation of weld residual stresses. The European Network on Neutron Techniques Standardization for Structural Integrity (NeT) Project has provided in recent years both standard test cases for simulation and measurement, as well as comprehensive material characterization. This has allowed the role of hardening in simulation predictions to be isolated and critically evaluated as never before possible. The material testing information is reviewed, and isotropic, nonlinear kinematic and combined hardening models are formulated and tested. Particular emphasis is placed on material model selection for general fitness-for-service assessments, as it relates to the guidance for weld residual stress (WRS) in flaw assessments of in-service equipment in Annex E of the FFS standard, API 579-1/ASME FFS-1.

The paper compares the numerical models of and experiments with a beam. The purpose is to evaluate the nonlinear material model of a steel structure. The steel is modelled as an ideal elastic-plastic material. The FEM and eight-node isoparametric finite elements are considered in the analysis. The 3D calculations use different material constants and several approaches are being tested in order to create the computational models. The calculations are performed in the software application developed by our university.

With the increasing use of finite element analysis method in sheet forming simulations, springback predictions of advanced high strength steel (AHSS) sheet are still far from satisfactory precision. The main purpose of this paper was to provide a method for accurate springback prediction of AHSS sheet. Material model with Hill’48 anisotropic yield criterion and nonlinear isotropic/kinematic hardening rule were applied to take account the anisotropic yield behavior and the Bauschinger effect during forming processes. U-channel forming and springback simulation was performed using ABAQUS software. High strength DP600 sheet was investigated in this work. The simulation results obtained with the proposed material model agree well with the experimental results, which show a remarkable improvement of springback prediction compared with the commonly used isotropic hardening model.

In this research, the effect of beam buckling in a predefined direction is used to reduce occupant injuries in frontal crashes of an ultra-low-floor (ULF) city bus. In ULF buses, the floor structure consists of several longitudinal long beams, which in case of a frontal crash may buckle due to the axial impact. The direction of rotational acceleration of the driver seat due to buckling is highly affected by the position of the driver seat. A finite element model of an ULF bus was developed using LS-Dyna. The driver model, a Hybrid III 50th male dummy with deformable jacket and abdomen, was restrained to the seat with a 3-point belt. An Elastic-Plastic material model was used for the bus structure to investigate the buckling behavior of the beam elements. Using diagonal beams to guide the buckling in a desired direction, rewarding results were achieved in reducing the occupant injuries. For example, with an extra diagonal beam under the seat, the driver’s HIC15 was reduced from 739 to 415.7 and HIC36 from 791 to 700.6.
