Anisotropy of sand is mainly due to the geometrical arrangement of particles that depends on the orientation of applied load respect to the bedding plane. It is geologically due to micro-fabric created by the arrangement of the particles configured during deposition. Most of the models develop using stress/strain invariants are not capable of identifying this kind of anisotropy. This is mainly ...

Deep drawing of two-layer sheet is a suitable way to achieve product with a desired shape and desired properties in sheet metal forming technology. Control of deep drawing parameter such as thinning is the most important challenge in this process. The most difficult part of this challenge is differences in material properties and geometry of each layer. In this paper, numerical approach has bee...

-This study investigates heat generation in metals during plastic deformation. Experiments were designedto measure the partition of plastic work into heat and stored energy during dynamic deformations under adiabatic conditions. A servohydraulic load frame was used to measure mechanical properties at lower strain rates, 10 -3 s -1 to 1 s -1. A Kolsky pressure bar was used to determine mechanica...

The tensile plastic deformation of dendrite-reinforced Ti-based metallic glass composites (MGCs) was investigated. It was found that there is a critical normalized strain-hardening rate (NSHR) that determines the plastic stability of MGCs: if the NSHR is larger than the critical value, the plastic deformation of the MGCs will be stable, i.e. the necking and strain localization can be effectivel...

A great number of wheel tests are required in designing and manufacturing of wheels to meet satisfactory requirements. The impact performance of a wheel is the major concern. Numerical implementation of impact test is essential to shorten the design time, improve the mechanical performance and lower development cost. Project includes the “Topology Optimization of Cast Aluminium Alloy wheel” usi...

Plastic deformation causes very small changes in the thermoelastic response of metallic materials; this variation of the thermoelastic constant has the potential to form the basis of a new non-destructive, non-contact, full-field technique for residual stress assessment that is quicker and cheaper than existing methods. The effect of plastic strain on the thermoelastic constant is presented as ...

Abstract-The elastoplastic constitutive analysis which utilizes the model of multiplicative decomposition of the defo~ation gradient into its elastic and plastic parts has been mainly developed and applied to elastically isotropic materials, which remain isotropic during the process of plastic deformation. This paper extends the application of the model to materials that change their elastic pr...

Determination of stress strain state components of butt welded joint with a mild interlayer at elasto-plastic tension is presented in this paper. Function of normal transverse stresses distribution on the thickness of mild interlayer and equations for determination of the stress intensity maximum value in hard metal at elasto-plastic deforming are proposed. The longitudinal stresses of mild and...

As the most important working area of gear, teeth play the role of transmitting load and power. Tooth line and tooth profile are the two main characteristics of the tooth surface, which affect the shape of the tooth surface, tooth meshing characteristics and contact characteristics. Taking the elliptical cylinder gear pair in the reversing device of a new type of drum pumping unit as the resear...
