A key component of an integrated environment is the use of computational eng ineering to assist and support solutions for complex design. Computer methods fo r structural, flow and thermal analysis are well developed and have been used in design for many years. Many software packages are now available which provi de an advanced capability. However, they are not designed for modelling of powde r forming processes. This paper describes the powder compaction software (PCS_SU T), which is designed for pre- and post-processing for computational simulatio n of the process compaction of powder. In the PCS_SUT software, the adaptive analysis of transient metal powder forming process is simulated by the finite element method based on deformation theories . The error estimates and adaptive remeshing schemes are applied for updated co -ordinate analysis. A generalized Newmark scheme is used for the time domain di scretization and the final nonlinear equations are solved by a Newton-Raphson p rocedure. An incremental elasto-plastic material model is used to simulate the compaction process. To describe the constitutive model of nonlinear behaviour of powder materials, a combination of Mohr-Coulomb and elliptical yield cap model is applied. This model reflects the yielding, frictional and densification char acteristics of powder along with strain and geometrical hardening which occurs d uring the compaction process. A hardening rule is used to define the dependence of the yield surface on the degree of plastic straining. A plasticity theory for friction is employed in the treatment of the powder-tooling interface. The inv olvement of two different materials, which have contact and relative movement in relation to each other, must be considered. A special formulation for friction modelling is coupled with a material formulation. The interface behaviour betwee n the die and the powder is modelled by using an interface element mesh. In the present paper, we have demonstrated pre- and post-processor finite elem ent software, written in Visual Basic, to generate the graphical model and visua lly display the computed results. The software consist of three main part: · Pre-processor: It is used to create the model, generate an app ropriate finite element grid, apply the appropriate boundary conditions, and vie w the total model. The geometric model can be used to associate the mesh with th e physical attributes such as element properties, material properties, or loads and boundary conditions. · Analysis: It can deal with two-dimensional and axi-symmetric applications for linear and non-linear behaviour of material in static and dyna mic analyses. Both triangular and quadrilateral elements are available in the e lement library, including 3-noded, 6-noded and 7-noded (T6B1) triangles and 4 -noded, 8-noded and 9-noded quadrilaterals. The direct implicit algorithm bas ed on the generalized Newmark scheme is used for the time integration and an aut omatic time step control facility is provided. For non-linear iteration, choice s among fully or modified Newton-Raphson method and quasi-Newton method, using the initial stiffness method, Davidon inverse method or BFGS inverse method, ar e possible. · Post-processor: It provides visualization of the computed resu lts, when the finite element model and analysis have been completed. Post-proce ssing is vital to allow the appropriate interpretation of the completed results of the finite element analysis. It provides the visual means to interpret the va st amounts of computed results generated. Finally, the powder behaviour during the compaction of a multi-level component is numerically simulated by the PCS_SUT software, as shown in Fig.1. The predict ive compaction forces at different displacements are computed and compared with the available experimental展开更多

Initially, the simulation has been implemented by using a conventional FE model. During the deforming process, mesh quality is checked at every incremental step. Distorted elements are automatically converted to EFG nodes, whereas, the less distorted elements are reserved. A new algorithm to generate EFG nodes and interface elements is presented. This method is capable of dealing with large deformation and has higher computational efficiency than using an EFG method wholly. Numerical results demonstrate that the adaptive EFG-FE coupling method has reasonable accuracy and is effective for local bulk metal forming such as extrusion processes.展开更多

The mold-filling and solidification stages of the casting were numerically analyzed. The filling behavior, solidification sequence, and thermal stress distribution were reproduced and the possible defects, such as cold shut and shrinkage, were predicted. Based on the simulation result, the double-gating system was replaced by a single-gating system. Meanwhile, the chills were used to regulate the solidification sequence of casting. To eliminate the cracks in the casting, the sand core was converted into a canulate one. By modifying the original process, the defects were eliminated and the casting with good quality was obtained.展开更多

At the same time, taking the short-term and imminent earthquake stage as the physical process of a source’s medium softening and fault creep, we calculated temporal variation of mean stress, maximum shear stress, body strain, and pore pressure in some certain points (supposed stations) in the source area and its adjacent area by using an anisotropic and nonlinear source model and a finite element method. According to an analysis of these theoretical curves, we conclude that the short-term and imminent earthquake precursors have such characteristics as complex shapes, exponential growth of the precursor number with tune, and precursors’ migration from the outside area to the source area, which to a certain extent reveal the cause of the characteristics of the short-term and imminent earthquake precursor field.展开更多

The simulations show that, ingeneral, inclusion of ice phase processes in the model leads to more intensive modelingstorms--the total latent heat released and the total precipitation increase obviously, the cloudtop rises, and the maximum ground precipitation rate is reached earlier. These effects of icephase processes can be much more significant in some relatively cold environments, in whichthey even modify the dynamic structures and life cycle of simulating storms. The mecha-nisms and favourable conditions of ice phase influences on storms are also discussed.展开更多

文摘In order to produce natural gas hydrate safely and efficiently,it is quite crucial to research the stability of hydrate reservoir in the process of its exploitation.The coupled thermal-hydrodynamic-mechanical(THM)numerical simulation can clearly present the mechanical response laws in the process of hydrate exploitation by horizontal well,but the model is often simplified as a profile vertical to the production well,so the evolution characteristics of real formation deformation space cannot be described sufficiently.To this end,this paper develops a coupled THM simulator applicable to the large-scale hydrate exploitation by horizontal well by introducing interactive interface to the FLAC mechanics program based on the hydrate exploitation program TOUGHþHYDRATE.Then,based on the field data of second hydrate production test in South China Sea,the gas and water production and formation deformation laws under the middle-and long-term development conditions of horizontal wells are studied by taking the actual gas production of horizontal well during the production test as the constraint of coupled THM model.And the following research results are obtained.First,when the production pressure is 7 MPa and the horizontal well length is 300 m,the gas production of horizontal well can reach 1190×10^(4)m^(3),the pressure drop has a larger influence range in the free gas layer,the produced gas mainly comes from the free gas layer and the hydrate layer and the hydrate dissociation range is not large.Second,it is predicted that the seafloor settlement is about 0.16 m after 60 days'production test and 0.52 m after osne year's production.In conclusion,hydrate exploitation by horizontal well can cause a large range of seafloor settlement.The seafloor surface settles linearly and continuously and the spatial settlement distribute is in the shape of ellipse.What's more,the greatest deformation(vertical displacement)occurs at the horizontal well and above it,where formation damage happens the easiest.It is recommended to study seafloor deformation and landslip risk under the conditions of middle and long-term production based on seafloor topography,valley distribution and nonuniform spatial thickness of mineral ores.

文摘The numerical simulation technique was applied to the casting process of a valve-type part. The mold-filling and solidification stages of the casting were numerically analyzed. The filling behavior, solidification sequence, and thermal stress distribution were reproduced and the possible defects, such as cold shut and shrinkage, were predicted. Based on the simulation result, the double-gating system was replaced by a single-gating system. Meanwhile, the chills were used to regulate the solidification sequence of casting. To eliminate the cracks in the casting, the sand core was converted into a canulate one. By modifying the original process, the defects were eliminated and the casting with good quality was obtained.
文摘In recent twenty years, much numerical simulation work has been done on the evolution of Qinghai-Xizang (Tibetan) plateau. In this paper some principal numerical models and results are reviewed and analyzed. The earlier plane stress or plane strain model has much discrepancy with the actual deformation of Qinghai-Xizang plateau, such as the thickening of Tibetan crust and the lateral extrusion of Tibet along strike-slip faults. The thin viscous sheet model and the thin-plate model may simulate the change of the crustal thickness and the deformation pro-duced by gravitational force. It is suitable for studying the large-scale and long-time deformation. The influence of faults on the deformation of Tibetan plateau should be further studied.
文摘Plastic injection molding is a very complex process and its process planning has a direct influence on product quality and production efficiency. This paper studied the optimization of injection molding process by combining the numerical simulation with back-propagation(BP) networks. The BP networks are trained by the results of numerical simulation. The trained BP networks may:(1) shorten time for process planning;(2) optimize process parameters;(3) be employed in on-line quality control;(4) be integrated with knowledge-based system(KBS) and case-based reasoning(CBR) to make intelligent process planning of injection molding.

文摘[Objective]The research aimed to carry out numerical simulation on impact of land-surface process in a Meiyu front rainstorm.[Method]Based on the meso-scale atmospheric non-hydrostatic model GRAPES-Meso which coupled with NOAH land-surface module,a Meiyu front rainstorm in Jianghuai basin during 6-8 July,2005 was simulated.Via sensitivity tests with and without land-surface process,the impact of land-surface process on Meiyu front rainstorm was studied.[Result]GRAPES-Meso which coupled with NOAH land-surface process could simulate daily variation characteristics of Meiyu front precipitation and atmospheric low-level southwest jet.The land-surface process could improve the simulations of precipitation initiation,intensity and distribution.The improvement of precipitation initiation simulation was especially obvious,which solved spin-up problem of model to some extent.When the land-atmosphere interaction wasn’t considered,the precipitation initiation of model was very slow.The intensity evolution of simulated precipitation was different from actual situation.Moreover,it couldn’t simulate daily variation characteristics of precipitation and southwest jet.[Conclusion]The land-surface process had important impact on Meiyu process in Jianghuai basin.
文摘According to studies of more than 20 earthquakes with MS≥5.0 in North China, seven features of the short-term and imminent earthquake precursors have been summarized in this paper. At the same time, taking the short-term and imminent earthquake stage as the physical process of a source’s medium softening and fault creep, we calculated temporal variation of mean stress, maximum shear stress, body strain, and pore pressure in some certain points (supposed stations) in the source area and its adjacent area by using an anisotropic and nonlinear source model and a finite element method. According to an analysis of these theoretical curves, we conclude that the short-term and imminent earthquake precursors have such characteristics as complex shapes, exponential growth of the precursor number with tune, and precursors’ migration from the outside area to the source area, which to a certain extent reveal the cause of the characteristics of the short-term and imminent earthquake precursor field.

文摘Wire arc additive manufacturing(WAAM)has emerged as a promising approach for fabricating large-scale components.However,conventional WAAM still faces challenges in optimizing microstructural evolution,minimizing additive-induced defects,and alleviating residual stress and deformation,all of which are critical for enhancing the mechanical performance of the manufactured parts.Integrating interlayer friction stir processing(FSP)into WAAM significantly enhances the quality of deposited materials.However,numerical simulation research focusing on elucidating the associated thermomechanical coupling mechanisms remains insufficient.A comprehensive numerical model was developed to simulate the thermomechanical coupling behavior in friction stir-assisted WAAM.The influence of post-deposition FSP on the coupled thermomechanical response of the WAAM process was analyzed quantitatively.Moreover,the residual stress distribution and deformation behavior under both single-layer and multilayer deposition conditions were investigated.Thermal analysis of different deposition layers in WAAM and friction stir-assisted WAAM was conducted.Results show that subsequent layer deposition induces partial remelting of the previously solidified layer,whereas FSP does not cause such remelting.Furthermore,thermal stress and deformation analysis confirm that interlayer FSP effectively mitigates residual stresses and distortion in WAAM components,thereby improving their structural integrity and mechanical properties.
文摘The numerical experiments on sensitivity of two types of convective storms to ice phasemicrophysical processes have been made by using a fully elastic three-dimensional cloud mod-el with a more detailed ice phase parameterization scheme. The simulations show that, ingeneral, inclusion of ice phase processes in the model leads to more intensive modelingstorms--the total latent heat released and the total precipitation increase obviously, the cloudtop rises, and the maximum ground precipitation rate is reached earlier. These effects of icephase processes can be much more significant in some relatively cold environments, in whichthey even modify the dynamic structures and life cycle of simulating storms. The mecha-nisms and favourable conditions of ice phase influences on storms are also discussed.
