    Simulations of Three-dimensional Thermal Residual Stress and Warpage in Injection Molding

    Xuejuan Li1,2, Jie Ouyang2,3, Wen Zhou2
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.96, No.6, pp. 379-407, 2013, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2013.096.379
    Abstract The three-dimensional (3D) mathematical models for thermal residual stress and warpage are proposed in injection molding, in which the temperature model is rebuilt by considering the phase-change effect to improve the computational accuracy. The 3D thermal residual stress model is transformed into the incremental displacement model so that the boundary conditions can be imposed easily. A modified finite element neural network (FENN) method is used for solving 3D warpage model based on the advantages of finite element method and neural network. The influence of phase-change on temperature is discussed. The numerical simulations of thermal residual stress and warpage are realized,… More >

    A Novel Method for Solving Ill-conditioned Systems of Linear Equations with Extreme Physical Property Contrasts

    Cheng-Yu Ku1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.96, No.6, pp. 409-434, 2013, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2013.096.409
    Abstract This paper proposes a novel method, named the dynamical Jacobianinverse free method (DJIFM), with the incorporation of a two-sided equilibrium algorithm for solving ill-conditioned systems of linear equations with extreme physical property contrasts. The DJIFM is based on the construction of a scalar homotopy function for transforming the vector function of linear or nonlinear algebraic equations into a time-dependent scalar function by introducing a fictitious time-like variable. The DJIFM demonstrated great numerical stability for solving linear or nonlinear algebraic equations, particularly for systems involving ill-conditioned Jacobian or poor initial values that cause convergence problems. With the incorporation of a newly… More >

    SPH and ALE Formulations for Fluid Structure Coupling

    R. Messahel1, M. Souli1
    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.96, No.6, pp. 435-455, 2013, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2013.096.435
    Abstract Simulation of Fluid Structure Interaction FSI, problems becomes more and more the focus of computational engineering, where FEM (Finite element Methods) for structural mechanics and Finite Volume for CFD are dominant. New formulations have been developed for FSI applications using mesh free methods as SPH method, (Smooth Particle Hydrodynamic). Up to these days very little has been done to compare different methods and assess which one would be more suitable. For small deformation, FEM Lagrangian formulation can solve structure interface and material boundary accurately; the main limitation of the formulation is high mesh distortion for large deformation and moving structure.… More >
