Description of the New Functionalities 1. Analysis Performance Improvements There are a few major areas where the performance has been substantially improved for large problems in MSC.Marc 2003 release: A. Direct Sparse Solver Improvements Storage improvements have been made in the multifrontal sparse solver which should affect all problems. Furthermore, the default optimizer is now Optimize 11 which results in major speed and memory improvements over the previous optimizers. In Core Storage 400000000 350000000 300000000 250000000 Optimize 11 200000000 Nest.Diss.

Time Min.Degree 200 0 1234567891011 Size Figure 2: Comparison of Matrix Solution Time Description of the New Functionalities 5 Analysis Performance Improvements B. Sparse Iterative Solver Improvements The sparse iterative solver using Incomplete Cholesky preconditioner has been rewritten to achieve significant improvements in speed. This has been achieved for single as well as parallel analysis as witnessed in Case 1: Sparse Iterative Solver Enhancements of the New Features Guide 2003. C. Other Enhancements for Memory Reduction There have been two major changes in the treatment of memory for large problems, namely: • The first is a general rewrite of the memory management scheme and contact data structure to improve memory allocation in large problems, with or without contact. • The second is a contact memory reduction option for cases where only small sliding takes place. In particular for three-dimensional models e.g. automotive engine blocks with large amounts of contact surface data, the memory savings can be significant. Since no significant nonlinear contact behavior is taken into account with this option it does not support friction and coupled behavior. This option can be activated through the CONTACT option or in MSC.Marc Mentat via the button “LINEAR CONTACT WITH REDUCED STORAGE” in JOBS→MECHANCIAL→CONTACT CONTROL→INITIAL CONTACT menu. D. Improvements in Parallel Analysis METIS based domain decomposer has been implemented in MSC.

  • Nonlinear Finite Element and Fiber Element Analysis of Concrete Filled Square Steel Tubular (Cfst) Under Static Loading
    MATEC Web of Conferences 258, 05025 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/20192 5805025 SCESCM 20 18 Nonlinear finite element and fiber element analysis of concrete filled square steel tubular (cfst) under static loading Mahmud Kori Effendi1,* Nor Hayati Abdul Hamid2 1 Civil Engineering Departement, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES), Indonesia 2 Institute for Infrastructure Engineering, Sustainability and Management (IIESM), Universiti Teknologi MARA, 40450 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia Abstract. The combination of thin-walled steel structure with concrete infill can be used as the alternative material properties in the building in Indonesia. This composite material is suitable for seismic- resistant building because it has more ductility than conventional material. In the tsunami event, some tsunami debris strikes the building and induced partial or full collapse of the building. The loading tip shape of tsunami debris which contacts to a tubular surface affects the local deformation or buckling mode of the thin-walled structures. In order to investigate the effects, we conducted three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analyses of concrete filled square steel tubular members subjected to concentrated lateral loads by using the finite element analysis (FEM) program MSC Marc/Mentat. The fiber element analysis is also performed to reduce the analysis time of FEM and simplify the analysis. The accuracy of the FEM and fiber element analysis is verified by the experiment. Being based on the parametric numerical study, it discusses the effect of axial load on the load-deflection relations. It shows that the higher the axial load, the more degradation the ductility of the structure.

  • Finite Element Analysis of the Stress and Deformation Fields Around the Blunting Crack Tip
    Memoirs of the Faculty of Engineering, Kyushu University, Vol.68, No.4, December 2008 Finite Element Analysis of the Stress and Deformation Fields around the Blunting Crack Tip by Reza MIRESMAEILI*, Masao OGINO**, Ryuji SHIOYA***, Hiroshi KAWAI†, and Hiroshi KANAYAMA‡ (Received September 2, 2008) Abstract The main object is to define the stress and deformation fields in a vicinity of a crack in an elasto-plastic power law hardening material under plane strain tensile loading. Hydrogen-enhanced localized plasticity (HELP) is recognized as an acceptable mechanism of hydrogen embrittlement and hydrogen-induced failure in materials. A possible way by which the HELP mechanism can bring about macroscopic material failure is through hydrogen-induced cracking. The distributions of the hydrostatic stress and plastic strain are simulated around the blunting hydrogen induced crack tip. The model of Sofronis and McMeeking is used in order to investigate the crack plasticity state. The approach is valid as long as small scale yielding conditions hold. Finite element analyses are employed to solve the boundary value problems of large strain elasto-plasticity in the vicinity of a blunting crack tip under mode I (tensile) plane-strain opening and small scale yielding conditions. Three different FEM softwares; MSC.Marc, ADVENTURE-Solid and ZeBuLoN are used for structural analysis and results are verified by the previous works. The aim is to compare the results of different rate equilibrium equations in the case of large deformation and large strain elasto-plastic analysis. Keywords: Crack tip plasticity, Hydrogen-induced cracking, Hydrogen embrittlement, Small scale yielding conditions, Finite element * Ph. D.

  • Finite Element Analysis and Simulation Study on Micromachining of Hybrid Composite Stacks Using Micro Ultrasonic Machining Process ______
    FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION STUDY ON MICROMACHINING OF HYBRID COMPOSITE STACKS USING MICRO ULTRASONIC MACHINING PROCESS ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Fullerton ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering ____________________________________ By Panchal, Sagar Rajendrakumar Thesis Committee Approval: Sagil James, Department of Mechanical Engineering Nina Robson, Department of Mechanical Engineering Darren Banks, Department of Mechanical Engineering Spring, 2018 ABSTRACT Hybrid composites stacks are multi-material laminates which find extensive applications in industries such as aerospace, automobile, and electronics and so on. Most hybrid composites consist of multiple layers of fiber composites and metal sheets stacked together. These composite stacks have excellent physical and mechanical properties including high strength, high hardness, high stiffness, excellent fatigue resistance and low thermal expansion. Micromachining of these materials require particular attention as conventional methods such as micro-drilling is extremely challenging considering the non-homogeneous structure and anisotropic nature of the material layers. Micro Ultrasonic Machining (μUSM) is a manufacturing process capable of machining such difficult-to-machine materials with ultraprecision. Experimental study showed that μUSM process could successfully machine hybrid composite stacks

  • Thesis Master’S Degree in Material Engineering Finite Element Analysis of Hot Rolling in the Blooming Mill
    Thesis Master’s degree in material engineering Finite element analysis of hot rolling in the blooming mill Author: Petter Persson Mentor at Sandvik: Mattias Gärdsback and Fredrik Sandberg Supervisor at University of Dalarna: Kumar Babu Surreddi Examiner: Lars Karlsson Subject: Materials Engineering Course: MP4001 Credit: 30 hp Date of examination: 2016-06-13 Abstract: During this thesis work a coupled thermo-mechanical finite element model (FEM) was built to simulate hot rolling in the blooming mill at Sandvik Materials Technology (SMT) in Sandviken. The blooming mill is the first in a long line of processes that continuously or ingot cast ingots are subjected to before becoming finished products. The aim of this thesis work was twofold. The first was to create a parameterized finite element (FE) model of the blooming mill. The commercial FE software package MSC Marc/Mentat was used to create this model and the programing language Python was used to parameterize it. Second, two different pass schedules (A and B) were studied and compared using the model. The two pass series were evaluated with focus on their ability to heal centreline porosity, i.e. to close voids in the centre of the ingot. This evaluation was made by studying the hydrostatic stress (σm), the von Mises stress (σeq) and the plastic strain (εp) in the centre of the ingot. From these parameters the stress triaxiality (Tx) and the hydrostatic integration parameter (Gm) were calculated for each pass in both series using two different transportation times (30 and 150 s) from the furnace. The relation between Gm and an analytical parameter (Δ) was also studied.

  • Multiscale Simulation of Metal Deformation in Deep Drawing Using Machine Learning Bachelor Integration Project
    Multiscale simulation of metal deformation in deep drawing using machine learning Bachelor Integration Project Industrial Engineering & Management University of Groningen Author: F.M. Verwijs s3090345 Supervisors: Prof. dr. A. Vakis (First supervisor) Dr. ir. A.A. Geertsema (Second supervisor) Dr. S. Solhjoo (Daily supervisor) June 19th, 2019 Abstract Crystal plasticity modeling is a powerful and well-established computational materials science tool to investigate mechanical structure{property relations in crystalline materials. The mechanical behavior of crystalline matter is a multiscale problem, whereas the underlying deformation processes such as the slip of dislocations and their reactions and elastic interactions are microscopic problems, and the forming process itself is usually of a macroscopic nature. Information regarding the crystal plasticity of metals in deep drawing processes, can be obtained at microscale. However, for applicability, the larger scale is of importance. To transfer the crystal plasticity information to the larger scale, this information needs to be stored and arranged in a certain way. In this Integration Project, a novel method of integrating the simulations at microscale to larger scale is presented. Crystal plasticity information concerning the material behavior of deep drawing processes is obtained using the DAMASK simulation software, generating representative volume elements, based on various strain rates. An Artificial Neural Network shows the information generated from the crystal plasticity simulations in DAMASK and predicts new data points. The information that is arranged in this machine-learning neural network, will be loaded into a finite element analysis. Based on this information, simulations are performed in MSC.Marc. This ultimately yields the information at larger scale, desired in deep drawing processes.
