Pseudolinear equivalent constant rigidity concept for analyzing welding residual deformation

To ascertain the extent of deformation due to the thermal cycles caused by welding it calls for solving a complex thermal elasto-plastic problem, which is non-linear and involves plastic deformation of the medium at high temperature varying in both time and space. Analytical solutions turned out to be inadequate. At the same time conventional numerical techniques proved to be highly time consuming and thereby prohibitively expensive in real life situations. The concept of pseudolinear equivalent constant rigidity system was developed in this investigation for thermo-mechanical analysis of plates undergoing variation of rigidity due to a continuously changing temperature profile as is encountered in welding situations. The initial non-linear problem with modulus varying with temperature was transformed into a pseudolinear equivalent system of constant rigidity that was solved by applying linear analysis.     

Flow and heat transfer for a power-law electrically conducting fluid flowing between parallel plates under transverse magnetic field with viscous dissipation

The flow and heat transfer problem with viscous dissipation for electrically conducting non-Newtonian fluids with power-law model in the thermal entrance region of two parallel plates with magnetic field under constant heat flux and constant wall temperature conditions has been studied. The governing equations have been solved numerically using quasilinearization technique and implicit finite-difference scheme. It has been found that the effect of viscous dissipation on heat transfer is quite significant for heating and cooling conditions at the wall.     

Taking account of heat transfer in locally heated thermoelastic plates made out of composite materials

Conclusions The proposed approach to the determination of the thermal stress state of thin plates made out of composite materials permits taking into account the effect of the coefficient of heat transfer from a region of local heating outside of it. The significant effect of heat transfer from the heating zone on the temperature field and the stresses indicates the necessity of taking it into account in connection with calculations on the strength of composite plates subjected to local heating.Translated from Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, No. 6, pp. 1027–1030, November–December, 1979.     

Free-edge stress analysis of general composite laminates under extension, torsion and bending

In this study, based on the reduced form of elasticity displacement field for a long laminate, an analytical method is established to exactly obtain the interlaminar stresses near the free edges of generally laminated composite plates subjects to extension, torsion, and bending. The constant parameters being in the displacement field, which describe the global deformation of a laminate, are appropriately calculated by using the improved first-order shear deformation theory. Reddy’s layerwise theory is subsequently employed for analytical and numerical examinations of the boundary layer stresses within arbitrary laminated composite plates. Various numerical results are developed for the interlaminar normal and shear stresses along the interfaces and through the thickness of laminates near the free edges. Finally the effects of end conditions of laminates and geometric parameters on the boundary-layer stress are studied.     

Self-reinforcement of liquid-crystal polymers at static and dynamic loading

The self-reinforcement effect of a solid uniaxially oriented SVM-K liquid-crystal polyamide and a copolyester of hydroxybenzoic and hydroxynaphthoic acids has been investigated by tensile-strength, stress-relaxation, and dynamic methods. The samples were prepared by spinning from lyotropic solution (SVM-K) and from a thermotropic melt (polyester). The tensile-strength and stress-relaxation tests were performed on complex fibers and the dynamic test on single fibers. The set of stress-strain curves, changing from a convex shape with two linear sections (at room temperature) to a concave shape (at high temperatures) is shown for both materials in Fig. 1. There is a pronounced difference between the deformation mechanisms at low and high strains in the stability of rigidity. At high temperatures the rigidity becomes less than the initial one during deformation and the current modulus at high strains has the same value within large ranges of temperatures and strains (Fig. 2). A low-deformation transition of another physical parameter than the yield-stress has been found. The stress-strain diagram for both investigated polymers has been generalized by using the constant value of the current modulus for the normalization of the stress value (Fig. 3). The stress-relaxation phenomena are shown to be anomalous. At high temperatures the stress-relaxation intensity decreases with increasing deformation, i.e., after deformation the polymer is characterized by a stability of rigidity which is higher than the initial value (Fig. 4). The dynamic modulus appears to increase with increasing deformation rate (Fig. 5). Due to these peculiarities the liquid-crystal polymers must be considered not only as normal high-modulus reinforcements for composite materials but also as materials, self-reinforcing under loading.Translated from Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, Vol. 30, No. 4, pp. 435–441, July–August, 1994.

Refined Orthotropic Plate Motion Equations for Acoustoelasticity Problem Statement

The formulation of the acoustoelasticity problem is given on the basis of refined motion equations of orthotropic plates. These equations are constructed in the first approximation by reducing the three-dimensional equations of the theory of elasticity to the two-dimensional equations of the theory of plates, where the approximation of the transverse tangential stresses and the transverse reduction stress is made with the help of trigonometric basis functions in the thickness direction. Wherein at the points of the boundary (front) surfaces, the static boundary conditions of the problem for tangential stresses are satisfied exactly and for transverse normal stress — approximately. Accounting for internal energy dissipation in the plate material is based on the Thompson—Kelvin—Voigt hysteresis model. In case of formulating problems on dynamic processes of plate deformation in vacuum, the equations are divided into two separate systems of equations. The first of these systems describes non-classical shear-free, longitudinal-transverse forms of movement, accompanied by a distortion of the flat form of cross sections, and the second system describes transverse bending-shear forms of movement. The latter are practically equivalent in quality and content to the analogous equations of the well-known variants of refined theories, but, unlike them, with a decrease in the relative thickness parameter, they lead to solutions according to the classical theory of plates. The motion of the surrounding the plate acoustic media is described by the generalized Helmholtz wave equations, constructed with account of energy dissipation by introducing into consideration the complex sound velocity according to Skudrzyk.

The axisymmetric contact problem taking into account transient heat production due to sliding friction

The contact problem of the sliding of a solid heat insulator with a plane surface along the boundary of an axisymmetric elastic body is considered, taking into account heat release and the thermal distortion of the boundary of the deformable body due to friction. It is assumed that the shear stresses have no effect on the value of the contact pressures, which enables the problem to be investigated in an axisymmetric formulation. The solution is constructed in two stages: first the form of the thermally distorted surface is determined using known expressions, obtained by Carslaw and Jaeger and also by Barber, and then the contact condition is considered taking into account the elastic displacements and distortion of the form of the surface due to heating, and the integral equation of the problem for determining the unknown contact pressures is derived. The latter equation is solved numerically by approximating the unknown contact pressures by a piecewise-constant function.     

Numerical investigation of residual thermal stresses in welded joints of heterogeneous steels with account of technological features of multi-pass welding

The paper describes a two-dimensional mathematical model to evaluate stresses in welded joints formed in multi-pass welding of multi-layered steels. The model is based on a system of equations that includes the Lagrange's variational equation of the incremental theory of plasticity and the Biot's variational principle for heat transfer simulation. In the constitutive equations, the changes in the volume which occur as a result of phase transitions can be taken into account. Therefore, the prehistory and impact of thermal processing of materials on macroscopic properties of the medium can be considered.The variational-difference method is used to solve both the heat transfer equation for calculation of the non stationary temperature field and the quasi-static problem of thermoplasticity at each time-step. The two-dimensional problems were solved to estimate the residual thermal stresses (for the case of plane stress or plane strain) during cooling of welds and assessing their impact on strain localization in the heat-affected zone under tensile and compressive loading considering differences in mechanical properties of welded materials.It is shown that at initial stages of the plastic flow, the residual stresses significantly affect the processes of stress concentration and localization of strains in welded joints. To estimate the model parameters and to verify the modeling results, the available experimental data from scientific literature obtained on the basis of the Satoh test for different welding alloys was used.

A method is proposed and is used to solve the problem of determining the stress-optimal temperature fields of the local heating during welding of unlike plates with variable thicknesses. Computational modelling was carried out for plates of M-40 material and St. 3 steel, with thickened edges, depending on the width of the heating zone and the beginning of the region of elastic deformation.Translated from Matematicheskie Metody i Fiziko-Mekhanicheskie Polya, No. 25, pp. 53–56, 1987.     

The Contact Problems of the Mathematical Theory of Elasticity for Plates with an Elastic Inclusion

The contacts problem of the theory of elasticity and bending theory of plates for finite or infinite plates with an elastic inclusion of variable rigidity are considered. The problems are reduced to integral differential equation or to the system of integral differential equations with variable coefficient of singular operator. If such coefficient varies with power law we can manage to investigate the obtained equations, to get exact or approximate solutions and to establish behavior of unknown contact stresses at the ends of elastic inclusion.

The kinetics of the temperature residual stresses and strains in thick-walled reinforced-plastic cylinders and rings have been experimentally investigated employing a special procedure for continuously monitoring the internal strains and stresses in the various zones of the semifinished product during the heat treatment stage. The effect of the resin polymerization (polycondensation) temperature and the mandrel material on the magnitude and distribution of the temperature stresses is considered. The total residual stresses have been determined by a nondestructive strain-gauge method with differentiation of the components.Translated from Mekhanika Polimerov, No. 6, pp. 1040–1046, November–December, 1971.     

Prestressed composites modelled as interacting solid continua

In this paper we present a theory of mixtures of elastic solids with initial stresses and initial heat flux. First, we establish the equations governing the small deformations superposed on nonlinear deformations of mixtures. Then, we derive the basic equations of prestressed mixtures with initial heat flux. The continuous dependence of the solutions upon initial data and body supplies is established. The theory is used to study the deformation of a prestressed spherical shell subjected to constant pressures.     

A new refined simple TSDT-based effective meshfree method for analysis of through-thickness FG plates

In this paper a novel numerical method based on the Moving Kriging (MK) interpolation meshfree method, integrated with a simple higher-order shear deformation plate theory for analysis of static bending, free vibration and buckling of functionally graded (FG) plates is presented. In the proposed technique, the shape functions are built by the Kriging technique which possesses the property of Kronecker delta function which makes it easy to enforce essential boundary conditions. The present formulation is based on a refined simple third-order shear deformation theory (R-STSDT), which is based on four variables and it still accounts for parabolic distribution of the transverse shearing strains and stresses through the thickness of the plate present in the original simple third-order shear deformation theory (STSDT). In this theory, instead of assuming a specific distribution for the displacement field, the theory of elasticity is used for obtaining the kinematics of the plate deformation. We first propose the formulation, and then several numerical examples are provided to show the merits of the proposed approach.     

Heat transfer to power-law fluids in thermal entrance region with viscous dissipation for constant heat flux conditions

An analytical solution of the heat transfer problem with viscous dissipation for non-Newtonian fluids with power-law model in the thermal entrance region of a circular pipe and two parallel plates under constant heat flux conditions is obtained using eigenvalue approach by suitably replacing one of the boundary conditions by total energy balance equation. Analytical expressions for the wall and the bulk temperatures and the local Nusselt number are presented. The results are in close agreement with those obtained by implicit finite-difference scheme. It is found that the role of viscous dissipation on heat transfer is completely different for heating and cooling conditions at the wall. The results for the case of cooling at the wall are of interest in the design of the oil pipe line.     

Elastic Deformation of Dispersely Failing Unidirectionally Reinforced Composites

A phenomenological model is proposed for describing the elastic deformation of a unidirectionally reinforced composite capable of accumulating scattered microdamages during its loading. The composite is considered as a homogeneous transversely isotropic solid. Its damaged state at every point is characterized by a centrally symmetric scalar function on the unit sphere (the damage function), which is used to account for variations in the elastic properties of the material during its deformation. The damage itself depends on the history of some equivalent strain, for which four simplified variants are suggested. The relation between strains and stresses is defined in a differential form. Dependences are presented for determining all unknown constants from simple mechanical experiments. As an example, an actual unidirectionally reinforced GFRP is considered, for which the main two-dimensional sections of corresponding failure surfaces are also constructed.
