Out-of-plane elastic constants of curved cell walls honeycombs
2021
International audience; The work describes the out-of-plane properties of a curved wall honeycomb structure evaluated using analytical models and finite elements techniques. Out-of-plane properties are calculated using a theoretical approach based on energy theorems and validated using a fullscale<br>finite element technique to simulate transverse shear tests. The effects of the curvature of the walls and the depth of the honeycomb cells on the out-of-plane elastic constants are evaluated and excellent agreement is observed between theoretical and numerical models. These curved cell wall honeycombs feature specific (i.e., relative density weighted) highly tailorable upper shear bounds tha…
Application of cohesive-zone models to delamination behaviour of composite material
2012
International audience; The parameters of cohesive elements have to be chosen correctly in the simulation of composite delamination by finite element method: such as interface strength, interface stiffness and shape of cohesive law. The purpose of this work is to investigate their influence on the accuracy of the results obtained. A three-dimensional cohesive-zone model has been established using Ls-dyna to simulate Double-Cantilever-Beam mode I (DCB) and Edge-Notched-Flexure mode II (ENF) tests. The influence of these parameters of cohesive element on the maximum load and the slope of load-displacement curve have been discussed by comparing experimental and numerical results. Four traction…
A thermodynamically consistent cohesive-frictional interface model for mixed mode delamination
2016
Abstract A new interface constitutive model based on damage mechanics and frictional plasticity is presented. The model is thermodynamically consistent, it is able to accurately reproduce arbitrary mixed mode debonding conditions and it is proved that the separation work is always bounded between the fracture energy in mode I and the fracture energy in mode II. Analytical results are given for proportional loading paths and for two non-proportional loading paths, confirming the correct behavior of the model for complex loading histories. Numerical and analytical solutions are compared for three classical delamination tests and frictional effects on 4ENF are also considered.
A high-resolution layer-wise discontinuous Galerkin formulation for multilayered composite plates
2020
Abstract In this work, a novel high-resolution formulation for multilayered composite plates is presented. The formulations is referred to as high-resolution since it combines (i) Layer-Wise plate theories, which are based on a per-layer, high-order expansion of the primary variables throughout the plate’s thickness, providing a detailed layer-level description of the sought solution; (ii) The discontinuous Galerkin method, a numerical approach based on a discontinuous representation of the unknown fields over the mesh elements and on the introduction of boundary integral operators enforcing inter-element continuity, which allow the natural treatment of high-order mesh elements and provide …
Layer-Wise Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Piezoelectric Laminates
2020
In this work, a novel high-order formulation for multilayered piezoelectric plates based on the combination of variable-order interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin methods and general layer-wise plate theories is presented, implemented and tested. The key feature of the formulation is the possibility to tune the order of the basis functions in both the in-plane approximation and the through-the-thickness expansion of the primary variables, namely displacements and electric potential. The results obtained from the application to the considered test cases show accuracy and robustness, thus confirming the developed technique as a supplementary computational tool for the analysis and design o…
A new invariant-based method for building biomechanical behavior laws - Application to an anisotropic hyperelastic material with two fiber families
2013
Abstract In this article, we present a general constructive and original approach that allows us to calculate the invariants associated with an anisotropic hyperelastic material made of two families of collagen fibers. This approach is based on mathematical techniques from the theory of invariants: • Definition of the material symmetry group. • Analytical calculation of a set of generators using the Noether’s theorem. • Analytical calculation of an integrity basis. • Comparison between the proposed invariants and the classical ones.
Orthogonal cutting simulation of OFHC copper using a new constitutive model considering the state of stress and the microstructure effects
2016
International audience; This work aims to develop an orthogonal cutting model for surface integrity prediction, which incorporates a new constitutive model of Oxygen Free High Conductivity (OFHC) copper. It accounts for the effects of the state of stress on the flow stress evolution up to fracture. Moreover, since surface integrity parameters are sensitive to the microstructure of the work material, this constitutive model highlights also the recrystallization effects on the flow stress. Orthogonal cutting model is validated using experimental designed cutting tests. More accurate predictions were obtained using this new constitutive model comparing to the classical Johnson-Cook model.
Modelling of interference fits with taking into account surfaces roughness with homogenization technique
2013
International audience; The assembly technique by shrink fit is increasingly used today because it allows for the assembly of two pieces without any intermediary part simply by the tightening effect given by the difference in diameters of the two parts assembled. The definition of assemblies depends on calculation models available in the standard. They make very restrictive assumptions that limit the geometrical defects and the surface finish. It is increasingly common to use a finite element method to better adapt the model to the complex forms of industrial parts. However, the standard is limited with regard to the consideration of roughness which results in a loss of tightening. An easy …
Modeling of interference fits taking form defects of the surfaces in contact into account
2011
Abstract The technique of assembly by shrink fit is increasingly used today. However, the methodology of parts sizing has not changed in 50 years. Assembled parts are assumed to have accurate dimensions and very low form defects. This has the disadvantage of increasing the cost of parts production. To reduce manufacturing costs, the study of the influence of form defects on the characteristics of assembly strength is essential. Taking default form into account assumes that the tightening (difference between the diameters of the shaft and the bore) is defined. In the case under consideration, the tightening depends locally on the radius. Two definitions of the tightening are proposed: maximu…
Strain fields measurement of non-rigid solid by scanning laser coupled with camera
2013
International audience; Abstract. Today, the techniques of measurement without contact by scanning laser are increasingly used. These techniques allow to measure 3D objects without contact and the measurement rates can reach few thousand points by second that is very adapted to complex shapes. To measure displacements and deformations, it is necessary to follow a solid particle in its motion between two configurations of the body before and after displacement. The method of stereovision based on grayscale patterns, obtained by applying a spray, is generally used. The results are obtained by two correlations: spatial and temporal correlations. An alternative method consists to use a scanner …
