چکیده

This paper deals with the numerical simulation of combined cycle fatigue (CCF), which is characterized by two periodic loads, whose frequencies are very different one from the other. Rather than using classical fatigue life estimations, a time transient evolution model is solved using a periodic time homogenization method. This latter is based on the assumption that the time scales associated with the two periodic loads are decoupled. Different results on academic as well as industrial examples are presented. An extension of the proposed method up to three time scales is eventually proposed in order to speed up the numerical simulations. RÉSUMÉ. On considère ici la simulation numérique de la fatigue à cycles combinés (CCF), caractérisée par deux chargements périodiques de fréquences très différentes. Plutôt que d’utiliser les méthodes classiques de durée de vie en fatigue, on souhaite utiliser un modèle temporel d’évolution dont l’exploitation numérique est rendue possible par une méthode d’homogénéisation périodique en temps. Cette méthode repose sur une hypothèse de séparation des échelles de temps liées aux deux chargements périodiques. Différents résultats sur des exemples académiques et industriels sont présentés. Une extension de la méthode à trois échelles de temps est enfin proposée afin d’accélérer encore plus les calculs.

Parameter identification of two-time-scale nonlinear transient models

Background Context Material fatigue is one of the key phenomena whose study is essential to design and develop modern industrial parts: many of the classical methods used in the industry, such as those described in Ref. [1], allow to estimate fatigue life through cumulative formulas. However, these latter do not take into account the history associated with the loading, and tend to give poor re...

Analysis and optimization of heterogeneous materials using the variational asymptotic method for unit cell homogenization

The variational asymptotic method for unit cell homogenization is used to find the sensitivity of the effective properties of periodically heterogeneous materials, within a periodic base-cell. The sensitivities are found by the direct differentiation of the variational asymptotic method for unit cell homogenization (VAMUCH) and by the method of adjoint variables. This sensitivity theory is impl...

A comparison of homogenization and standard mechanics analyses for periodic porous composites

Abstraet. Composite material elastic behavior has been studied using many approaches, all of which are based on the concept of a Representative Volume Element (RVE). Most methods accurately estimate effective elastic properties when the ratio of the RVE size to the global structural dimensions, denoted here as ~/, goes to zero. However, many composites are loeally periodic with finite q. The pu...

Numerical Homogenization of Trabecular Bone Specimens using Composite Finite Elements pdfsubject

Numerical homogenization is a tool to determine effective macroscopic material properties for microstructured materials. This tool is tailored and applied to ensembles of young and elder human and of porcine and bovine vertebral bone specimens. On the microscale of the spongiosa a linearized Lamé–Navier type elasticity model is assumed and the computed macroscopic material properties are repres...
