Numerical investigation of plastic flow and residual stresses generated in hydroformed tubes

Characterization of residual stresses generated during inhomogeneous plastic deformation

Residual stresses generated by macroscopic inhomogeneous plastic deformation are predicted by an explicit finite element (FE) technique. The numerical predictions are evaluated by characterizing the residual elastic strains by neutron diffraction using two different (hkl ) reflections. Intergranular residual elastic strains between subsets of grains are predicted numerically and verified by neu...

Dynamic Characteristics of Joined Steel and Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Plastic Tubes: Experimental and Numerical Investigation

The fundamental frequencies and mode shapes of steel and carbon fiber–reinforced plastic (CFRP) cylindrical shells with steel inserts were investigated using finite element analysis and modal testing. The free-free boundary condition was tested with modal testing using the roving hammer method and verified by finite element analysis using ABAQUS. The results show good agreement between the test...

NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF RESIDUAL STRESSES IN YBCO/CeO2/YSZ/CeO2/Ni ARCHITEXTURED MATERIALS FOR COATED CONDUCTORS

AbstractIn this study, the stress analysis of YBCO/CeO2/YSZ/CeO2/Ni architextured materials under cryogenic conditions was carried out for coated conductor applications. YBCO/CeO2/YSZ/CeO2 multilayer films were fabricated on Ni tape substrate using reel-to-reel sol-gel and Pulse Laser Deposition (PLD) systems. The microstructural evolution of high temperature superconducting YBCO film and buffe...

Investigation on the Residual Stress State of Drawn Tubes by Numerical Simulation and Neutron Diffraction Analysis

Cold drawing is widely applied in the industrial production of seamless tubes, employed for various mechanical applications. During pre-processing, deviations in tools and their adjustment lead to inhomogeneities in the geometry of the tubes and cause a gradient in residuals. In this paper a three dimensional finite element (3D-FE)-model is presented which was developed to calculate the change ...
