Fe2-homogenization of micromorphic elasto-plastic materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this work, a homogenization strategy for a micromorphic–type inelastic material is presented. In the spirit of FE2, a representative volume element is attached to each macroscopic quadrature point.

Scalar, vectorial and tensorial damage parameters from the mesoscopic background

open access: yes, 2007
In the mesoscopic theory a distribution of different crack sizes and crack orientations is introduced. A scalar damage parameter, a second order damage tensor and a vectorial damage parameter are defined in terms of this distribution function.

Microcracks closure effects in initially orthotropic materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Microcracking is one of the basic mechanisms of inelastic deformation for a large class of anisotropic materials such as brittle matrix composites. Even at fixed microcracks density, the macroscopic behavior of these materials is very complex due to the ...

Low Cycle Fatigue Weld Optimization using Chaboche Material Model

open access: yes, 2018
In this master thesis a method for optimizing welds has been investigated. The method was developed by the use of a finite element (FE)-model of a silencer. The silencer is exposed to both dynamic and thermal loads. Focus has been on using topology optimization for the welds.

Experimental Investigation and FE Analysis on Constitutive Relationship of High Strength Aluminum Alloy under Cyclic Loading

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2016
Experiments of 17 high strength aluminum alloy (7A04) specimens were conducted to investigate the constitutive relationship under cyclic loading. The monotonic behavior and hysteretic behavior were focused on and the fracture surface was observed by ...

A differential CDM model for fatigue of unidirectional metal matrix composites [PDF]

open access: yes
A multiaxial, isothermal, continuum damage mechanics (CDM) model for fatigue of a unidirectional metal matrix composite volume element is presented. The model is phenomenological, stress based, and assumes a single scalar internal damage variable, the ...

Automated calibration of advanced cyclic plasticity model parameters with sensitivity analysis for aluminium alloy 2024-T351

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2019
The plasticity models in finite element codes are often not able to describe the cyclic plasticity phenomena satisfactorily. Developing a user-defined material model is a demanding process, challenging especially for industry. Open-source Code_Aster is a

Parameter Calibration of Chaboche Kinematic Hardening Model by Inverse Analysis Using Different Optimization Methods in the Case of Pipe Bending

open access: yesInternational Journal of Automotive Science and Technology
Drag link is one of the important parts in steering system used in automotive. The ball joint, ball joint housing, and pipe compose the drag link. In this study, finite element analysis is used to simulate the deformation process. St 52 steel material is
