Abstract
This work proposes, for the first time, a fully coupled contact-oxidation corrosion model for copper at high temperature, which simultaneously considers the interaction among contact pressure, oxygen diffusion, and chemical reaction. The model is implemented via an ABAQUS UEL subroutine, enabling the simulation of bidirectional coupling between mechanical contact and oxidation corrosion under service-relevant conditions. Model accuracy is confirmed through comparison with both theoretical solutions of oxygen concentration in equilibrium state and experimental measurements of oxide thickness. The proposed model comprehensively investigates the bidirectional coupling effect between the contact behavior and oxidation reaction process. The effect of different positions of the contact zone and gas boundary on gas diffusion is also discussed. The results demonstrate that the oxidation reaction can affect the changes in contact pressure and contact zone. Compression stress due to contact will inhibit the oxygen ions diffusion and further suppress the progress of oxidation reaction.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Mechanical Sciences (IJMS) serves as a global platform for the publication and dissemination of original research that contributes to a deeper scientific understanding of the fundamental disciplines within mechanical, civil, and material engineering.
The primary focus of IJMS is to showcase innovative and ground-breaking work that utilizes analytical and computational modeling techniques, such as Finite Element Method (FEM), Boundary Element Method (BEM), and mesh-free methods, among others. These modeling methods are applied to diverse fields including rigid-body mechanics (e.g., dynamics, vibration, stability), structural mechanics, metal forming, advanced materials (e.g., metals, composites, cellular, smart) behavior and applications, impact mechanics, strain localization, and other nonlinear effects (e.g., large deflections, plasticity, fracture).
Additionally, IJMS covers the realms of fluid mechanics (both external and internal flows), tribology, thermodynamics, and materials processing. These subjects collectively form the core of the journal's content.
In summary, IJMS provides a prestigious platform for researchers to present their original contributions, shedding light on analytical and computational modeling methods in various areas of mechanical engineering, as well as exploring the behavior and application of advanced materials, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and materials processing.
