Temperature dependent micromechanics-based friction model for cold stamping processes

A Phase Model of Temperature-Dependent Mammalian Cold Receptors

We present a tractable stochastic phase model of the temperature sensitivity of a mammalian cold receptor. Using simple linear dependencies of the amplitude, frequency, and bias on temperature, the model reproduces the experimentally observed transitions between bursting, beating, and stochastically phase-locked firing patterns. We analyze the model in the deterministic limit and predict, using...

A model for tracking temperature variation in cold and hot metal working conditions during machining operations

This paper presents a mathematical model that could assist in measuring, monitoring and controlling tem-perature variation in cold and ‘red-hot’ metal working conditions of machining. A numerical analysis tech-nique of the temperature distribution, based on the theory of complex applied potential, was carried out using the principles of relationship analysis between the paths of heat supply in ...

Micromechanics-based model for trends in toughness of ductile metals

Relations between fracture toughness and microstructural details have been calculated for ductile materials based on a dilatational plasticity constitutive model that has recently been proposed. The model generalizes the Gurson model to account for both void growth and coalescence with explicit dependence on void shape and distribution effects. Based on a small scale yielding formulation of cra...

A micromechanics-based elastoplastic damage model for quasi-brittle rocks

This paper presents a micromechanics-based elastoplastic damage model for quasi-brittle rocks in compression stress state. The plastic strain is considered to be related to frictional sliding along microcracks and inherently coupled with damage evolution. By following a homogenization procedure, we first determine the free energy for the matrix-cracks system. The thermodynamic force associated ...
