A layer-wise third order shear and normal deformable plate/shell theory (TSNDT) incorporating all geometric nonlinearities is used to study finite transient deformations of a curved laminated beam composed of a St. Venant–Kirchhoff material. In the TSNDT all displacement components of a point are expressed as 3rd order polynomials in the thickness coordinate in each layer while maintaining the ...

Abstract—The numerical simulation based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) is widely used in academic institutes and in the industry. It is a useful tool to predict many phenomena present in the classical manufacturing forming processes such as fracture. But, the results of such numerical model depend strongly on the parameters of the constitutive behavior model. The influences of thermal and m...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of cutting speed and uncut chip thickness on cutting performance. A Finite Element Method (FEM) based on the ABAQUS explicit software which involves Johnson-Cook material mode and Coulombs friction law was used to simulate of High Speed Machining (HSM) of AISI 1045 steel. In this simulation work, feed rate ranging from 0.05 mm/rev to 0.13 mm/re...

This study presents a method for level ice-structure interaction analysis to estimate the fatigue damage of arctic structures by applying plate theory behavior ice. The boundary element (BEM), which incurs lower computational cost than finite (FEM), was introduced solve bending problem. BEM formulation performed theory. Finally, check validity proposed method, results and FEM obtained using ABA...

PVC frame cutting process by guillotine is a common method that attracted attention of car parts and PVC decorating furniture producers. In this paper, the effects of main parameters such as cutting speed, lubricants and cutting frame holder pressure force on PVC frame section surface smoothness is investigated by experimental methods on a specified PVC frame sample and then by FEM simulation u...

This paper presents an implementation in CCC of an explicit parallel finite element code dedicated to the simulation of impacts. We first present a brief overview of the kinematics and the explicit integration scheme with details concerning some particular points. Then we present the OpenMP parallelization toolkit used in order to parallelize our FEM code, and we focus on how the parallelizatio...

Abstract: In order to solve the convergence problem of concrete constitutive in the softening phase, an anisotropic nonlinear elastic constitutive model (ANECM) was proposed, which was developed based on the uniaxial concrete constitutive relation in the Chinese code for design of concrete structures (GB 50010-2010). The user material subroutine (UMAT) based on ANECM is developed in ABAQUS soft...

A cortical bone tissue is susceptible to fracture that can be caused by events, such as traumatic falls, sports injuries and traffic accidents. A proper treatment of bones and prevention of their fracture can be supported by in-depth understanding of deformation and fracture behaviour of this tissue in such dynamic events. Parameters such as damage initiation under impact, damage progression an...

This paper presents an exact solution and a finite element method (FEM) for a Piezoceramic Rod under static load. The cylindrical rod is made from polarized ceramics (piezoceramics) with axial poling. The lateral surface of the rod is traction-free and is unelectroded. The two end faces are under a uniform normal traction. Electrically, the two end faces are electroded with a circuit between th...

This paper presents the results of an analytical investigation conducted to replicate experimentally obtained behavior, and better understand the behavior of the proposed structural fuse concept for bridges that is presented in a companion paper. First, a steel plate shear link (SPSL) proposed as a new type of structural fuse is described. Equations are derived to define its shear-moment intera...
