Three-dimensional Finite Element Study on the Nanoindentation Process of Hydrated Nacre
نویسندگان
چکیده
The nanoindentation process of hydrated nacre has been simulated using threedimensional finite element method. The constitutive relation is based on Barthelat et al’s (Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 2007, 55: 306-337) test results. The influence of the maximal loading on the simulation process is taken into account. The nanoindentation process and hardness of nacre are compared with other experimental results. It is shown that the hardness from finite element simulation is always higher than that of experiment and it gradually approaches to the experimental one with the increase of the maximal loading.

متن کاملDynamic Fracture Analysis Using an Uncoupled Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian Finite Element Formulation
This paper deals with the implementation of an efficient Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation for the three dimensional finite element modeling of mode I self-similar dynamic fracture process. Contrary to the remeshing technique, the presented algorithm can continuously advance the crack with the one mesh topology. The uncoupled approach is employed to treat the equations. So, each t...
متن کاملModeling Static Bruising in Apple Fruits: A Comparative Study, Part II: Finite Element Approach
ABSTRACT- Mechanical damage degrades fruit quality in the chain from production to the consumption. Damage is due to static, impact and vibration loads during processes such as harvesting, transportation, sorting and bulk storage. In the present study finite element (FE) models were used to simulate the process of static bruising for apple fruits by contact of the fruit with a hard surface. Thr...
