    Dimple Fracture Simulation of Fracture Specimen under Different Constraint Conditions

    Masanori Kikuchi 1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.11, No.2, pp. 49-60, 2006, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2006.011.049
    Abstract Three kinds of fracture specimens are tested under different constraint conditions. By the SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) observation, it is shown that the roughness of fracture surface is different from each other largely. This is the effect of constraint condition. The dimple fracture process is simulated by the finite element method using Gurson’s constitutive equation, and the crack tip stress fields are obtained. The distributions of stress triaxiality qualitatively agree with the experimental results. The J-R curves obtained also qualitatively agree with those of experiments, and the fracture surface roughness is well simulated. More >

    A Quasicontinuum Method for Deformations of Carbon Nanotubes

    Jong Youn Park1, Young-Sam Cho2, Sung Youb Kim1, Sukky Jun3, Seyoung Im1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.11, No.2, pp. 61-72, 2006, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2006.011.061
    Abstract We present a coarse-graining computation for deformations of CNTs (carbon nanotubes) via QC (quasicontinuum), particularly targeting analysis of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Higher order triangular elements are utilized for proper interpolation of atom positions of the CNT on the basis of QC approach. The computing scheme enables one to differentiate between the fully atomistic zone and the coarse-grained zone in the framework of the multiscale computing. Several numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the present methodology. More >

    Discrete Dislocation Dynamics Simulation of Interfacial Dislocation Network in Gamma/Gamma-Prime Microstructure of Ni-based Superalloys

    K. Yashiro1, Y. Nakashima1, Y. Tomita1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.11, No.2, pp. 73-80, 2006, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2006.011.073
    Abstract A simple back force model is proposed for a dislocation cutting into γ' precipitate, taking the work formaking and recovering an anti-phase boundary (APB) into account. The first dislocation, or a leading partial of a superdislocation, is acted upon by a back force whose magnitude is equal to the APB energy. The second dislocation, or a trailing partial of a superdislocation, is attracted by the APB with a force of the same magnitude. The model is encoded in the 3D discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) code and applied to the cutting behavior of dislocations at a γ/γ' interface covered by an… More >

    Object Oriented Design of a Finite Element Code in Java

    G.P. Nikishkov1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.11, No.2, pp. 81-90, 2006, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2006.011.081
    Abstract This paper presents the object oriented approach to programming the finite element method using the Java language. The developed finite element code consists of ten Java packages. Three main methods are related to generation of finite element models, solution of elastic and elastic-plastic boundary value problems, and visualization of models and solution results. Object-oriented model of the code is described. It is demonstrated that Java 1.5 new features are useful in development of the finite element code. Java 3D is used for visualization of models and results. More >

    Numerical Simulation of Dynamic Elasto Visco-plastic Fracture Using Moving Finite Element Method

    T. Fujimoto1 and T. Nishioka1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.11, No.2, pp. 91-102, 2006, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2006.011.091
    Abstract In the dynamic fracture of metallic material, some cracks propagate with the incidence of plastic deformation, and distinct plastic strain remains near the post-propagation area. In order to elucidate these dynamic nonlinear fracture processes, the moving finite element method is developed for nonlinear crack propagation. The T* integral is used as the parameter to estimate crack tip condition. First, the effect of material viscosity and crack propagation velocity have been discussed based on the numerical results for fracture under pure mode I high speed loading. Under mixed mode loading, numerical simulations for fracture path prediction are demonstrated for various crack… More >
