一维理想弹塑性体的SPH-HLLC耦合算法

通过弹塑性波分析求得HLLC(Harten-Lax-van Leer-contact)近似黎曼解,提出了SPH(smoothed particle hydrodynamics)与一维理想弹塑性体模型下近似的HLLC黎曼求解器耦合的一种构造简单的算法。在SPH计算中,支持域内每个粒子对都存在一个黎曼间断问题,它的黎曼解被代入控制方程中计算。其中一维理想弹塑性体的HLLC近似黎曼解的思想是:先假设整体处于弹性状态计算黎曼解,然后对计算结果进行塑性条件修正,最后用修正后的物理变量计算HLLC近似黎曼解。将提出的SPH-HLLC耦合算法与传统SPH算法在一维算例下的计算结果进行对比,结果表明,该算法能有效模拟一维理想弹塑性体材料的碰撞,并能有效抑制在不同材料之间的压强和偏应力震荡,这是传统SPH方法很难做到的。

Numerical Simulation of Extrusion Pressure in the Process of Hydrostatic Extrusion

In order to study the laws of the extrusion pressure changing with the extrusion parameters in the process of hydrostatic extrusion for the tungsten alloys, the large deformation elasto plastic theory and the software of ANSYS 5 5 are used to carry out the numerical simulation research. The laws of the extrusion pressure changing with the extrusion parameters, such as the die angle, extrusion ratio, and friction coefficient, are obtained. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental ones, and the simulated results are believable.

Elastoplastic modeling of mechanical behavior of weak sandstone at different time scales

A unified constitutive model is proposed to describe the mechanical behavior of weak sandstone at different time scales.The instantaneous behavior of this material is characterized by the Drucker-Prager elastoplastic model,while the time-dependent deformation is described in terms of the microstructure evolution.This evolution is numerically simulated by progressive degradation of the elastic modulus and failure strength of the material.The proposed model is used to simulate the instantaneous triaxial compression and the multi-loading creep tests.Generally,good concordance is obtained between numerical simulations and experimental data.The proposed model is capable of describing the main features of these rocks,particularly irreversible deformations,pressure dependency,volumetric transition between compaction and dilatancy,and creep behavior.

Press cutting of thin-walled round pipe for producing curvilinear end

In order to obtain a basic understanding of the unwanted distortions in the pipe wall during the press cutting process, the deformation of a thin-walled round pipe to form a curvilinear end was numerically and experimentally studied. Vector analysis was used to study the relationship between the punch shape and the collapse of the cut-end. Stamping experiments on AISI 1020 steel pipe were conducted using different angles a and β defining the shape of the punch. The elasto-plastic finite element method that allows consideration of a ductile fracture was also employed to study the process. The results show that the deformation of the pipe end after press cutting is inβuenced mostly by the shape of the punch. A satisfactory quality of the curvilinear end of the pipe can be obtained if the appropriate geometric parameters of the punch are chosen. The pipe-wall collapse in the upper part of the section is decreased when a and β increase. The recommended values for a and β lie within 30°-50°. The hole on the underside of the punch has less inβuence on the quality of the cut-end, and the wall distortion and the generation of burr on the cut-end can be satisfactorily simulated using the fracture criterion of Brozzo or the normalized criterion of Cockcroft and Latham.

Numerical Simulation of New Friction Welded Joints

In developing the new friction welding technology, the thermal elastic-plastic stress analysis by the finite element method was carried out to seek the suitable welding conditions such as the friction pressure, the friction speed and the upset pressure. The results obtained are as follows： Heat transfer to the specimens and the intermediate material during friction process was made clear; The operational conditions such as the rotation number of the intermediate material and the friction pressure to reach the liquidus in the interface could be estimated; Further, as the overhang length near the interface is well related to the joint efficiency, we tried to obtain the operational conditions by numerical analysis to acquire a certain length of the overhang length near the interface.

Numerical simulation of the separation between concrete face slabs and cushion layer of Zipingpu dam during the Wenchuan earthquake

The Zipingpu concrete-faced rockfill dam(CFRD)experienced strong ground motion from the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake.Separation between concrete face slabs and the cushion layer was observed after the earthquake.The separation voids under the stage III slabs make up 55%of the total area of the stage III slabs.The observed maximum height of the separation voids was nearly 23 cm at the top of the stage III slabs.Separation voids were also observed locally below the top of stage II slabs near the left abutment,with a maximum height of 7 cm.In this study,a static and dynamic elasto-plastic finite element analysis on Zipingpu CFRD was conducted to capture the separation during the Wenchuan earthquake.The rockfill materials were described using a state-dependent elasto-plastic model that considered particle breakage.The model parameters of rockfill materials were obtained from feedback analysis.The numerical results were largely consistent with the field measurements during construction and after the Wenchuan earthquake.A three-dimensional state-dependent elasto-plastic model that can trace the separation and re-contact of a soil-structure interface was employed to investigate the interaction between concrete face slabs and a cushion layer.The analysis showed the distribution of separation voids observed in the Zipingpu CFRD has a close relationship to the water level and slab dislocations at the time of the earthquake.The phenomenon of the separation from the Wenchuan earthquake was successfully captured by the proposed numerical procedure.
