Residual Stress Distribution (residual + stress_distribution)
Selected AbstractsEffect of the cutting technique on the residual stress distribution of cut edges in FeSi3 transformer sheetsCRYSTAL RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY, Issue 11 2009M. Böhling Abstract Samples of laser-scratched FeSi3 transformer sheets have been investigated. The investigations were carried out by using the Kossel and EBSD techniques in our self-designed multifunctional system. The results show residual stress mappings of the cut edges of FeSi3 transformer sheets and their dependence on the cutting process (conventional plate shears, abrasive water-jet technique, laser cutting).

HONDA ABSTRACT As-received or shot peened 7075-T7351 single-edged notch bend (SENB) specimens, 8.1-mm thick, were fatigued at a constant maximum load and at stress ratios of R= 0.1 and 0.8 to predetermined numbers of fatigue cycles or to failure. The SENB specimens were then fractured by overload and the tunnelling crack profiles were recorded. The crack-growth rate, da/dN, after crack initiation at the notch was determined by crack-profile measurement and fractography at various fatigue cycles. The shot peened surface topography and roughness was also evaluated by three-dimensional (3-D) laser scanning microscopy. Residual stresses in the as-received specimens and those generated by shot peening at Almen scales of 0.004A, 0.008A, 0.012A and 0.016A, were measured by an X-ray diffraction stress analyser with an X-ray target, CrK, every 0.1 mm to a depth of 1 mm. The 3-D stress intensity factor of the curved crack front was determined by the superposition of the 3-D finite element solutions of the stress intensity factor of the loaded SENB specimen without the residual stress and the stress intensity factor of the unloaded SENB specimen with a prescribed residual stress distribution. da/dN versus the resultant stress intensity factor amplitude, ,KI, plots showed that while the residual stress locally retarded the crack-growth rate it had no effect on the overall crack-propagation rate. [source] Strength estimation of ceramic,metal joints with various interlayer thicknessFATIGUE & FRACTURE OF ENGINEERING MATERIALS AND STRUCTURES, Issue 5 2003M. TAKAHASHI ABSTRACT Residual stresses generated by the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients of ceramics and metals affect the strength of ceramic,metal joints. An interlayer metal can be inserted between the ceramic and metal in order to relax this stress. An analysis was carried out of the residual stresses produced during joint-cooling and in 4-point bending tests. The effects of interlayer thickness on ceramic,metal joint strength were then studied by considering a superimposed stress distribution of the residual stress and the bending stress. Finally, joint strength was estimated from fracture mechanics and strength probability analysis by considering the residual stress distribution, defect size and position of pre-existing defects in the ceramic parts. As a result of this study, we suggest an optimum material selection and interlayer thickness for ceramic,metal joint structures. This approach is generally suitable for the design of electrical and mechanical structures. [source] Effects of film and substrate dimensions on warpage of film insert molded partsPOLYMER ENGINEERING & SCIENCE, Issue 6 2010Seong Yun Kim Three-dimensional flow and structural analyses were carried out for film insert injection molding to investigate warpage of film insert molded (FIM) parts with respect to variation of film and substrate thickness. Asymmetry of temperature distribution in the thickness direction was increased with increasing film thickness but decreased with increasing substrate thickness. Asymmetry of the in-mold residual stress distribution in the FIM specimen was generated by the nonuniform temperature distribution, and it was increased with increasing film thickness but reduced with increasing substrate thickness. Warpage of the ejected FIM specimen was determined by relaxation of the asymmetric in-mold residual stress distribution, and it was increased with increasing film thickness but reduced with increasing substrate thickness. Warpage of FIM specimens annealed at 80°C for 30 min showed complex behavior, and the behavior was understood by using factors such as degree of warpage of the ejected part, thermal shrinkage of the inserted film, and retardation of heat transfer.

SCI., 2010. © 2010 Society of Plastics Engineers [source] Numerical and experimental investigation of shrinkage behavior of precision injection molded articles.POLYMER ENGINEERING & SCIENCE, Issue 8 2008In the accompanying paper, Part I, presented are the physical modeling and numerical formulation of new lateral motion modelings. In Part II, new models developed in Part I are validated by the successful comparison of calculated residual stress profile with the literature data. The predicted results of the birefringence, residual stress distribution, and shrinkage from new lateral motion modeling are in better agreement with corresponding experimental data than those from the conventional ones. The new model prediction falls between those of two extreme cases corresponding to conventional models. As a result of extensive parametric study of processing conditions, the developed analysis system is found to be capable of successfully predicting the tendency of shrinkage behavior varying with most of processing conditions. In this regard, the new model enables better analysis based design and optimization of precision injection-molded products. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 2008. © 2008 Society of Plastics Engineers [source] A method to predict triaxial residual stresses in plastic pipesPOLYMER ENGINEERING & SCIENCE, Issue 10 2004Z. W. Guan Significant hoop and longitudinal stresses are present in medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) pipe, arising from differential cooling from the inner and the outer surfaces of a pipe during production. Owing to the difficulty of directly measuring deformations, these stresses have hitherto been almost exclusively estimated indirectly from deflection measurements on large samples cut from the pipe wall. Furthermore, because of procedural problems, only uniaxial hoop or longitudinal stresses are normally attempted, and these are known to be specimen size,dependent. Similar problems are experienced with other polymeric pipes. In this paper, based on direct biaxial strain measurements on small samples cut from the pipe wall, a method to predict triaxial residual stress distributions through the pipe wall is presented. Thermal effects that generate residual stresses in plastic pipe were considered in the theory. The analytical solutions satisfy the self-equilibrating conditions for both the hoop and the longitudinal stresses. Also, the radial stress is shown to be insignificant through the wall thickness of a mildly thick pipe. Polym. Eng. Sci. 44:1828,1838, 2004. © 2004 Society of Plastics Engineers. [source] | ||||||||||
