چکیده
This work introduces a finite element model of steel cable-reinforced conveyor belt to accurately compute stresses in the splice. In modelled test rig, runs on two drums and is loaded with cyclic longitudinal force. An explicit solver used efficiently handle high number elements contact conditions. This, however, some issues dynamics model, which are subsequently solved: (a) load applied smooth curve damping introduced beginning simulation, (b) residual regions that initially bent around drums, (c) supporting at start simulation hinder oscillations low forces. To capture tensile bending stiffness cables, they by combination solid beam elements. The results show numerical artefacts can be reduced an acceptable extent. region highest stresses, displacements additionally mapped onto submodel smaller mesh size. that, for investigated belt, local maximum principal significantly increase when this comes into with, by, drum. Therefore, it essential also consider belt’s predict failure such applications.

متن کاملFEM Implementation of the Coupled Elastoplastic/Damage Model: Failure Prediction of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) Composites
The coupled damage/plasticity model for meso-level which is ply-level in case of Uni-Directional (UD) Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) is implemented. The mathematical formulations, particularly the plasticity part, are discussed in a comprehensive manner. The plastic potential is defined in effective stress space and the damage evolution is based on the theory of irreversible thermodynamics. T...

متن کاملModelling of Failure in High Strength Steel Sheets
In this theses the high strength steel Docol 600DP and the ultra high strength steel Docol 1200M are studied. Constitutive laws and failure models are calibrated and verified by the use of experiments and numerical simulations. For the constitutive equations, an eight parameter high exponent yield surface has been adopted, representing the anisotropic behaviour, and a mixed isotropic-kinematic ...
