Prediction of mechanical properties using multiscale manufacturing simulation and micromechanical models is the focus of this study. Particular problem of coupled dual-scale deformation-flow process such as the one arising in RTM, Vacuum-Assisted Resin Infusion (VARI) and Vacuum Bag Only (VBO) prepregs is considered. A finite element formulation of porous media theory framework is employed to predict the element-wise local volume fractions and the deformation of a preform in a press forming process. This formulation considers coupling effects between macro-scale preform processes and mesoscale ply processes as well as coupling effects between the solid and fluid phases. A number of different micromechanical models are assessed and the most suitable one is used to calculate mechanical properties from volume fractions. Structural performance of the “deformed” geometry is then evaluated in mechanical analysis. An integrated platform is designed to cover the whole chain of analysis and perform the properties’ calculation and transfer them between the modules in a smooth mapping procedure. The paper is concluded with a numerical example, where a compression-relaxation test of a planar fluid filled prepreg at globally un-drained condition is considered followed by a mechanical loading analysis. The development is user friendly and interactive and is established to enable design and optimization of composites.","PeriodicalId":43242,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multiscale Modelling","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43692166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The simplified model was suitable for the study of cracks shorter than 70% size of the uniform Eddy current induced by the probe in a traditional model or experiment. The experiment was conducted to validate the simplified model. Moreover, using the simplified model, the effects of crack depth, orientation, and exciting frequency were studied. The deeper the crack depth was, the greater peak value of [Formula: see text] signal was. The crack angle was linear with the phase of signal.

The RVEs consist of randomly distributed fibers, matrix, and interfaces between the fibers and matrix. Periodic boundary conditions (PBCs) and proportional stressing are implemented to facilitate micromechanical analysis of the composites under controlled stress states. In particular, the failure mechanisms of the RVEs under combined transverse and in-plane shear stressing are investigated. The ratio of in-plane shear stress over transverse stress is kept constant during each simulation. By varying this ratio, the mechanical responses of composites under different stress states are systematically studied and the failure envelopes for different fiber volume fractions are extracted. We find the failure envelope converges as the fiber volume fraction increases. The framework developed in this study can be extended to different stress states allowing us to conveniently examine the failure criteria for UD CFRP composites comprehensively.","PeriodicalId":43242,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multiscale Modelling","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43007424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, numerical multi-timescale simulation is proposed to understand the welding principle, using numerical simulations of ultrasonic welding. The simulation results are validated by comparing with temperature measurements in welding tests. In the multi-timescale simulations, microsecond-scale simulations are performed first. The ultrasonic wave is modeled as a vibration load, and the energy dissipation per vibration at 25, 75, 125, 175, 225, and 275∘C is analyzed. Then, the time derivative of the temperature rise is obtained. In the normal scale simulations, the ultrasonic wave and holding pressure are replaced by a constant load, and the entire process of ultrasonic welding is simulated. The slope of the temperature rise is fitted to the time derivative of the temperature rise obtained from the microsecond-scale simulations, using the material constant as a parameter. Explicit multi-timescale simulations were performed to investigate the relationship between stress concentration and temperature rise due to ED geometry. The result reveals similar temperature behavior to the experimental one, indicating the validity of the multi-timescale method. It suggests that viscoelastic energy dissipation and stress concentration are responsible for the temperature spike.","PeriodicalId":43242,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multiscale Modelling","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46043481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The feasibility of glass and carbon fiber-based hybrid composites is proposed for various high performances due to their versatile mechanical properties. However, anisotropic and non-homogeneity nature creates several machining challenges for manufacturers. It can be regulated through the selection of proper cutting conditions during the machining test. The effect of process constraints like spindle speed (rpm), feed rate (mm/min), and stacking sequences ([Formula: see text] was evaluated for the optimum value of thrust force and Torque during the drilling test. The cost-effective method of hand layup has been used to fabricate the composites. Four different hybrid composites were developed using different layers of carbon fiber and glass fiber layers. The outcomes of variables on machining performances were analyzed by variation of feed rate and speed to acquire the precise holes in the different configurations. The application potential of the proposed composites is evaluated through the machining (drilling) efficiency. The optimal condition for the drilling procedure was investigated using the multiobjective optimization-Grey relation analysis (MOO-GRA) approach.

The stress state in pre-stressed composed dies during cold extrusion process is investigated in this paper, it shows that the combined die can greatly reduce the tangential tensile stress of the inner wall of the die and reduce the strain energy density of the die, thereby improving the strength of the die and extending the life of the die. By increasing the number of pre-stressed rings, the amount of interference can be changed, which indirectly changes the pre-stress applied to the die. The relationship between the die fatigue life and the number of pre-stressed rings indicates that the design of the pre-stressed composed structure above the inflection point is an excess design, and the optimal design should be near the inflection point.","PeriodicalId":43242,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multiscale Modelling","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42266686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Identification of the best parametric combination for a deposition process to achieve desired coating quality is often considered to be challenging due to the involvement of a large number of input process parameters and conflicting responses. This study discusses the development of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system-based models for the prediction of quality measures of two thin-film deposition processes, i.e., SiCN thin-film coating using thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process and Ni–Cr alloy thin-film coating using direct current magnetron sputtering process. The predicted response values obtained from the developed models are validated and compared based on actual experimental results which exhibit a very close match between both the values. The corresponding surface plots obtained from the developed models illustrate the effect of each process parameter on the considered responses. These plots will help the operator in selecting the best parametric mix to achieve enhanced coating quality. Also, analysis of variance results identifies the importance of each process parameter in the determination of response values. The proposed approach can be applied to various deposition processes for modeling and prediction of observed response values. It will also assist as an operator in selecting the best parametric mix for achieving desired response values.","PeriodicalId":43242,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multiscale Modelling","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64017364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
