On the Importance of Work-Conjugacy and Objective Stress Rates in Finite Deformation Incremental Finite Element Analysis

چکیده
This paper is concerned with two issues that arise in the finite element analysis of 3D solids. The first issue examines the objectivity of various stress rates that are adopted in incremental analysis of solids. In doing so, it is revealed that large errors are incurred by an improper choice of stress rate. An example problem is presented to show the implications of the choice of stress rate. The second issue addresses the need to maintain work-conjugacy in formulating and solving bifurcation buckling problems of 3D elastic solids. Four popular commercial codes are used to obtain buckling loads of an axially compressed thick sandwich panel, and it is shown that large errors in buckling load predictions are incurred as a result of violating the requirement of work-conjugacy. Remedies to fix the errors in the numerical solution strategy are given. [DOI: 10.1115/1.4007828]

متن کاملFinite element simulation of two-point incremental forming of free-form parts
Two-point incremental forming method is considered a modern technique for manufacturing shell parts. The presence of bottom punch during the process makes this technique far more complex than its conventional counterpart i.e. single-point incremental forming method. Thus, the numerical simulation of this method is an essential task, which leads to the reduction of trial/error costs, predicts th...
