A multi-disciplinary finite element method (FEM) framework and a empirical sub-model were built to analyze the affecting factors on weld nugget and the underlying nature of welding physics with dynamic simulation procedure. Specifically, a counter-intuitive phenomenon of the resistance time-variation caused by the transient inverse virtual variation (TIVV) effect was highlighted and analyzed on the basis of welding current and temperature distribution simulation. The empirical model describing the TIVV phenomenon was used for modifying the dynamic resistance simulation during the AA spot welding process. The numerical and experimental results show that the proposed multi-field FEM model agrees with the measured AA welding feature, and the modified dynamic resistance model captures the physics of nugget growth and the electrical-thermal behavior under varying welding current and fluctuating heat input.展开更多

By mixing RDX and Nitramon on a particular scale and sticking the explosive cartridge on the outwall surface of the pipe, the experimental result makes clear that the controlled blasting method can get rid of the soot effectively. Under the action of the blasting compression wave and reflectance tension wave,the soot is destroyed effectively in the region of - 60° ~60° around the bIasting site, that creates a condition for the second blasting in the surplus soot.展开更多
