    Estimation of the Mechanical Properties of Amorphous Metal with a Dispersed Nano-crystalline Particle by Molecular Dynamics Simulation

    R. Matsumoto, M. Nakagaki
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.10, No.3, pp. 187-198, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2005.010.187
    Abstract Large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of tensile deformation of amorphous metals containing a nano-crystalline particle were performed in order to clarify the effects of particle size and crystal volume fraction on the deformation mechanism and strength. It became clear that particle size has very little effect, while crystal volume fraction has a substantial influence. Elastic modulus and flow stress intensify as crystal volume fraction increases. Furthermore, the stress in the crystal phase continues to increase, even after yielding in the amorphous phase. Consequently, work-hardening effects appear, preventing localization of plastic deformation. Thus, the dispersed nano-crystalline particles improve the amount of tensile… More >

    An Aspect of Hall-Petch Effect in Metallograin Structure

    Michihiko Nakagaki1, Shuji Takashima2, Ryosuke Matsumoto1, Noriyuki Miyazaki2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.10, No.3, pp. 199-208, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2005.010.199
    Abstract The present paper focuses on the micromechanical phenomena occurring in the polycrystalline metal materials. Correlations between the material hardening and the plastic lattice dislocation were discussed with the presence of the grain boundary. The characteristic distribution of the plastic strain gradient is numerically recognized, and hence the validity of incorporating the strain gradient term in the constitutive law is demonstrated. Also, the modeling of the inclusion interface sliding and debonding was performed on the equivalent inclusion theory to develop the constitutive law for the composite. The sliding model is considered to be effective to model the superplastic behavior of highly… More >

    An Implicit Integration Scheme for a Nonisothermal Viscoplastic, Nonlinear Kinematic Hardening Model

    M. Akamatsu1, K. Nakane2, N. Ohno1,2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.10, No.3, pp. 217-228, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2005.010.217
    Abstract In this study, a fully implicit integration scheme is developed for a nonisothermal viscoplastic, nonlinear kinematic hardening model. Nonlinear dynamic recovery in addition to strain hardening is assumed for the evolution of multiple back stresses so that ratcheting and mean-stress relaxation can be properly simulated. Temperature dependence of back stress evolution is also taken into account in the constitutive model. By discretizing a set of such advanced constitutive relations using the backward Euler method, a tensor equation is derived and linearized to iteratively achieve the implicit integration of constitutive variables. The fully implicit integration scheme developed is programmed as a… More >

    A Virtual Crack Closure-Integral Method (VCCM) for Three-Dimensional Crack Problems Using Linear Tetrahedral Finite Elements

    H. Okada 1, T. Kamibeppu 1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.10, No.3, pp. 229-238, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2005.010.229
    Abstract In this paper, a three-dimensional VCCM (Virtual Crack Closure-Integral Method) for evaluating the energy release rate and the stress intensity factor is presented. Many engineers and researchers believe that hexahedral finite elements should be used to perform three-dimensional fracture analyses. Previous VCCM formulations assume the use of hexahedral finite elements. In present study, the authors have been developing a VCCM that works with tetrahedral finite elements. In the field of large-scale computation, the use of tetrahedral finite elements has becoming very popular as high performance mesh generation programs became available. Therefore, building a large and complex analysis model with hexahedral… More >

    Computational Characterization and Evaluation of Deformation Behavior of Spherulite of High Density Polyethylene in Mesoscale Domain

    Y. Tomita 1, M. Uchida 1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.10, No.3, pp. 239-248, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2005.010.239
    Abstract In this study, we clarified the micro- to mesoscopic deformation behavior of a semicrystalline polymer by employing a large-deformation finite element homogenization method. The crystalline plasticity theory with a penalty method for the inextensibility of the chain direction and the nonaffine molecular chain network theory were applied for the representation of the deformation behavior of the crystalline and amorphous phases, respectively, in the composite microstructure of the semicrystalline polymer. The 3D structure of lamellae in the spherulite of high-density polyethylene was modeled, and the tensile and compressive deformation behaviors were investigated. A series of computational simulations clarified the difference in… More >
