  4. 2. Elastoplasticity of Grey Cast Iron FE-Algorithms and Biaxial Experiments

    Author : Hans E. Hjelm; Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Keywords : Biaxial experiments; multiaxial elastoplastic behaviour; graphite flakes; FE-codes; hardening behaviour; graphitic grey cast iron;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on multiaxial elastoplastic behaviour of graphitic grey cast iron with the aim to provide physically appropriate and numerically reliable constitutive relations for use in FE-codes. To achieve this goal, this work is divided into three parts: Biaxial experiments are performed on thin cruciform specimens. READ MORE

  5. 3. Prediction of springback in sheet metal forming

    Author : Per-Anders Eggertsen; Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hardening law; Bauschinger effect; Springback; FE-simulation; Yield condition; Elastic stiffness degradation;

    Abstract : The prediction of springback is probably the area in sheet metal forming simulation, where the least success has been achieved in terms solution accuracy. The springback is caused by the release of the stresses in the workpiece after the forming stage. READ MORE

  6. 4. On the Modelling and Numerics of Gradient-Regularized Plasticity Coupled to Damage

    Author : Thomas Svedberg; Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis is primarily concerned with issues that arise in conjunction with the modelling of localization phenomena in solids using gradient-regularized plasticity with coupling to damage. The thermodynamic framework for a larger class of models is established, whereby gradients of the internal variables are included as arguments of the free energy. READ MORE

  7. 5. Deformation Behaviour of A356-T7 Cast Aluminium Alloys Used in High Specific Power IC Engine Cylinder Heads

    Author : Elanghovan Natesan; Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aluminium alloys; fatigue; constitutive models; thermo-mechanical fatigue; a356; cylinder head;

    Abstract : The constant development drive towards higher specific power and lower displacement engines in recent years to produce environmentally friendly high-performance cars has placed increasingly high thermal loads on the internal combustion engine materials. Further, the advent of hybrid power trains placing higher demands on quick starts and a rapid approach to maximum power necessitates the automotive industry to move towards a more robust computational thermo-mechanical fatigue life prediction methodology to develop reliable engines and reduce developmental costs.
