为提升药包的爆炸冲击效能,针对爆轰冲击波传播过程,建立了水下爆炸药包内爆轰波与水中形成的冲击波流固耦合数值模型。引入了阵列角研究考虑攻角效应的单源药包内边缘阵列起爆,并基于爆轰波叠加原理模拟了阵列起爆后爆轰波耦合增强及跨介质传递初始冲击波过程。此外,通过改变阵列角探究了药包内边缘阵列起爆对爆轰波阵面形状、爆轰波压和爆轰波速及水中形成的初始冲击波特征参数的影响。研究表明:两侧对称爆轰波相互作用会导致其传播方向转变为垂直向上,耦合后波压升高,波速小幅度增加;阵列角为20°~45°时,阵列角越小,则爆轰波交汇耦合角度越大,交汇后的耦合爆轰波越早形成类平面波的波阵面。此外,考虑攻角效应的单源药包内边缘阵列起爆对冲击波载荷峰值的增益效果比对波阵面传播速度的增益效果更为显著。本文研究可为水下阵列爆炸的冲击效能优化提供参考。

Comparisons of some difference forms for compressible flow in cylindrical geometry on arbitrary Lagrangian and Eulerian framework

The study of cylindrically symmetric compressible fluid is interesting from both theoretical and numerical points of view. In this paper, the typical spherical sym- metry properties of the numerical schemes are discussed, and an area weighted scheme is extended from a Lagrangian method to an arbitrary Lagrangian and Eulerian （ALE） method. Numerical results are presented to compare three discrete configurations, i.e., the control volume scheme, the area weighted scheme, and the plane scheme with the addition of a geometrical source. The fact that the singularity arises from the geometri- cal source term in the plane scheme is illustrated. A suggestion for choosing the discrete formulation is given when the strong shock wave problems are simulated.

ALE Fractional Step Finite Element Method for Fluid-Structure Nonlinear Interaction Problem

A computational procedure is developed to solve the problems of coupled motion of a structure and a viscous incompressible fluid. In order to incorporate the effect of the moving surface of the structure as well as the free surface motion, the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation is employed as the basis of the finite element spatial discretization. For numerical integration in time, the fraction,step method is used. This method is useful because one can use the same linear interpolation function for both velocity and pressure. The method is applied to the nonlinear interaction of a structure and a tuned liquid damper. All computations are performed with a personal computer.

FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS FOR CHIP FORMATION IN HIGH SPEED TURNING OPERATIONS BY ARBITRARY LAGRANGIAN EULERIAN METHOD

A two-dimensional finite element （FE） model for the high speed turning operations when orthogonally machining AISI H13 tool steel at 49HRC using poly crystalline cubic boron nitride （PCBN） is described. An arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian （ALE） method has been adopted which does not need any chip separation criteria as opposed to the traditional Lagrangian approach. Through FE simulations temperature and stresses distributions are presented that could be helpful in predicting tool life and improving process parameters. The results show that high temperatures are generated along the tool rake face as compared to the shear zone temperatures due to high thermal conductivity of PCBN tools.

Simulation of Sloshing Phenomena Using ALE Approach

Sloshing has a widespread application in many industries including automotive, aerospace, ship building and motorcycle manufacturing. The goals of sloshing simulation is to first study the sloshing pattern and then improve the tank design to reduce noise levels, stresses on the structure and optimize the baffle arrangements. In this project simulation of the fluid in tank is studied and the design modification with baffle plate is considered to minimize the sloshing phenomena using Arbitrary Langrangian Eulerian （ALE） method. Also it is explained that there is need to analyze the sloshing phenomena in detail. Arbitrary Langrangian Eulerian finite element methods gain interest for the capability to control mesh geometry independently from material geometry, the ALE methods are used to create a new undistorted mesh for the fluid domain. In this paper we use the ALE technique to solve fuel slosh problem. Fuel slosh is an important design consideration not only for the fuel tank, but also for the structure supporting the fuel tank. Fuel slosh can be generated by many ways： abrupt changes in acceleration （braking）, as well as abrupt changes in direction （highway exit-ramp）. Repetitive motion can also be involved if a sloshing resonance is generated. These sloshing events can in turn affect the overall performance 0fthe parent structure. A finite element analysis method has been developed to analyze this complex event. A new ALE formulation for the fluid mesh can be used to keep the fluid mesh integrity during the motion of the tank. This paper explains the analysis capabilities on a technical level.

Dynamic Response of Falling Liquid Storage Container Under Transient Impact

The dynamic response performance of a large,cylindrical,fluid-filled steel container under high-speed impact is evaluated through fluid-structure interaction analysis using arbitrary Lagrange-Eulerian(ALE)method.The ALE method is adopted to accurately calculate the structural behavior induced by the internal liquid impact of the container.The stress and strain results obtained from the finite element analysis are in line with the experimental shell impact data.The influences of drop angle,drop height,and flow impact frequency are discussed.Calculation results indicate that the impact stress and damage of the container increase with drop height.However,the amplitude of the oscillation and the impact stress increase when the container and flow impact resonance occur at a certain drop height.The impact stress shows a nonlinear relationship with drop angle.

Flow Characteristics of Double-Cruciform Parachute at Inflating and Inflated Conditions

The fluid-structure interaction (FSI) between the canopy and flow field on the inflating and inflated conditions is investigated based on the arbitrary Lagrange-Euler (ALE) method,in both a single-and double-cruciform parachute systems.The projection area of canopy is calculated in the inflation process.The flow field characteristics and the interaction between canopies are analyzed.Results showed that,with free stream velocity of 50m/s,overinflation phenomenon would not occur during the inflation process of the double-cruciform-parachute system,because the collision and extrusion of the two canopies during inflation obstructed the oscillation of the inner gores.Concurrently,compared with the single-cruciform parachute,the vortex motion in the wake of double-cruciform-parachute is more intense.Thus the double-cruciform parachute system oscillated at a velocity of 50 m/s with an angle of less than 6.8°.By comparison,the oscillation angle of the single-cruciform parachute was within 3.5° at the velocity of 50m/s.The results are consistent with those of the wind tunnel test.

Effects of die geometry on non-equal channel lateral extrusion(NECLE) of AZ80 magnesium alloy

Non-equal channel lateral extrusion（NECLE） is a new process that can be used to attain higher grain refinement in comparison with equal channel lateral extrusion（ECLE）. The die design for this process was numerically and experimentally studied. After finding a good correlation between the numerical and experimental results, more comprehensive FE analyses were carried out. Different die geometrical parameters were considered and their effects on the induced plastic strain, stress distribution, velocity field and forming load of the process were investigated. It was found that by this process with a suitable set of die geometrical parameters, higher induced effective strain and more homogeneous strain distribution could be achieved in comparison with ECLE operation.

DYNAMIC SIMULATION OF FLUID-STRUCTURE INTERACTION PROBLEMS INVOLVING LARGE-AMPLITUDE SLOSHING

An effective computational method is developed for dynamic analysis offluid-structure interaction problems involving large-amplitude sloshing of the fluid andlarge-displacement motion of the structure. The structure is modeled as a rigid container supportedby a system consisting of springs and dashpots. The motion of the fluid is decomposed into twoparts: the large-displacement motion with the container and the large-amplitude sloshing relative tothe container. The former is conveniently dealt with by defining a container-fixed noninertiallocal frame, while the latter is easily handled by adopting an ALE kinematical description. Thisleads to an easy and accurate treatment of both the fluid-structure interface and the fluid freesurface without producing excessive distortion of the computational mesh. The coupling between thefluid and the structure is accomplished through the coupling matrices that can be easilyestablished. Two numerical examples, including a TLD-structure system and a simplified liquid-loadedvehicle system, are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and reliability of the proposedmethod. The present work can also be applied to simulate fluid-structure problems incorporatingmultibody systems and several fluid domains.

Prediction of shear-related defect locations in semi-solid casting using numerical flow models

Contaminated surfaces of the feedstock materials in aluminum alloy casting processes often produce various types of defects which can affect the tensile properties of the final products as well as their fatigue reliabilities.Semi-solid processing takes advantage of a much higher apparent viscosity of the die cast materials by limiting the risk of oxides formed at the free surfaces to become incorporated into the casting when the material is injected into the die.Most of existing semi-solid processes that use billets as feedstock material are however tied up with a different type of contaminated surface.During the injection phase,the external-skin on the periphery of the billet,which has been in contact with air and lubricant during the transfer in the shot sleeve,can be incorporated into the casting.When subjected to a heat treatment,the lubricant is decomposed and produces lens shape porosities.This might be a cause of reject for most structural parts.To avoid this kind of defects,the paths along which the billet skin evolves must be controlled during filling.In order to investigate the possibility of skin inclusion into cast parts during injection of the billet,a two-phase finite element mixture model is employed to model the metal flow.The formation of a skin on the periphery of the billet is modeled by setting an initial solid phase concentration profile in the radial direction.Microscopic observations of the real castings show that the approach is able to model the shear layers and to predict the paths along which the"lens porosity"defects could be formed.An Arbitrary Eulerian-Lagangian(ALE) method is also investigated and appears to be very promising to follow the skin movement in the casting.

Analysis of Sheet Metal Extrusion Process Using Finite Element Method

Sheet bulk metal forming processes have been widely developed to the facilitate manufacture of complicated 3D parts. However, there is still not enough know-how available. In this paper, as one of the typical sheet bulk metal forming processes, the sheet metal extrusion process was studied. A reasonable finite element method （FEM） model of sheet metal extrusion process taking the influence of flow-stress curve with wide range of plastic strain and ductile damage into consideration was established and simulated by an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian （ALE） FEM implemented in MSC.Marc. Validated by comparing the results with experiment, some phenomenological characteristics, such as metal flow behavior, shrinkage cavity, and the influence of different combinations of diameter of punch, diameter of extrusion outlet, and diameter of pre-punched hole were analyzed and concluded, which can be used as theoretical fundamental for the design of the sheet metal extrusion process.

SIMULATION OF FLUID-SOLID INTERACTION ON WATER DITCHING OF AN AIRPLANE BY ALE METHOD

Ditching is considered as one of the important aspects of safety performances of airplanes. It is related primarily with the fluid-solid interaction, whose studies mainly depend on experiments at the present time. Numerical and analytical methods for fluid-solid interaction by using 3-D full scale airplane＇s model will reduce the dependence on the expensive model tests. Numerical studies can be used to estimate the safety of ditching and provide a reference for the crashworthiness design. This article proposes a 3-D dynamical structural model after the real shape of an airplane and an Arbitrary Lagrange-Euler （ALE） fluid-field model, to simulate the fluid-solid interactions caused by low speed ditching. The simulation is based on interaction computational methods, within LS-DYNA nonlinear finite-element code. The results of pressure distributions and accelerating time histories of the airplane＇s subfloor are discussed in the context of the safety of ditching, and the simulation results and the analytical methods are verified.

A numerical study was conducted for the vortex-induced vibrations of anelastic circular cylinder at low Reynolds numbers. An Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method wasemployed to deal with the fluid-structure interaction with an H-O type of non-staggered gridsincorporating the domain decomposition method (DDM), which could save the computational CPU time dueto re-meshing. The computational domain was divided into nine sub-domains including one ALEsub-domain and eight Eulerian sub-domains. The convection term and dissipation term in the N-Sequations were discretized using the third-order upwind compact scheme and the fourth-order centralcompact scheme, respectively. The motion of the cylinder was modeled by a spring-damper-mass systemand solved using the Runge-Kutta method. By simulating the non-linear fluid-structure interaction,the ''lock-in'', ''beating'' and ''phase switch'' phenomena were successfully captured, and the resultsagree with experimental data Furthermore, the vortex structure, the unsteady lift and drag on thecylinder, and the cylinder displacement at various natural frequency of the cylinder for Re = 200were discussed in detail, by which a jump transition of the wake structure was captured.

A numerical study of passenger side airbag deployment based on arbitrary Lagrangian-eulerian method

The passenger side airbags(PAB)are usually larger than the driver airbags.Therefore,the inflator of PAB is more powerful with high mass rate.In this paper,an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian(ALE)method based computational method is developed to simulate the deployment of a PAB.The tank test is used to test the property of the inflator.Through comparison of numerical and experimental results,the ALE method is validated.Based on a failed airbag test,a smaller sub-airbag is placed inside PAB to disperse the gas flow to directions which are less damaging.By applying dynamic relaxation,the initial mesh corresponding to the experimental terms is obtained.The results indicate that the interior pressure and impact force coincide with the test data,and the method in this paper is capable of capturing airbag deploying process of the PAB module accurately.
