The objective of this study was presented with a prediction on the alignment of cementite in pearlite lamella structure of high carbon steel by means of finite-element method(FEM) simulation. Pearlite strcuture was characterized by its nano-sized microstructure feature of alternation ferrite and cementite. FEM simulations were performed based on a suitable FE model describing the boundary conditions and the material behavior. With the alignment of lamella structure in high carbon pearlite steel wire, material plastic behavior was taken into account on plastic deformation and alignment of cementite. The effects of many important parameters(reduction in area, semi-die angle, initial angle of cementite ) on wire drawing process were predicted by DEFORM-2D. As the results, the possibility of wire fracture could be considerably reduced and the productivity of final product could be more increased than before.

This article proposes a digital image correlation (DIC) strain measurement method based on a finite element (FE) algorithm. A two-step digital image correlation is presented. In the first step, the gradient-based subpixels technique is used to search the displacements of a region of interest of the specimen, and then the strain fields are obtained by utilizing the finite element method in the second step. Both simulation and experiment processing, including tensile strain deformation, show that the proposed method can achieve nearly the same accuracy as the cubic spline interpolation method in most cases and higher accuracy in some cases, such as the simulations of uniaxial tension with and without noise. The results show that it also has a good noise-robustness. Finally, this method is used in the uniaxial tensile testing for Dahurian Larch wood specimens with or without a hole, and the obtained strain values are close to the results which were obtained from the strain gauge and the cubic spline interpolation method.

Within the framework of anisotropic combined viscoplastic hardening formulation, accounting macroscopically for residual stress as well as texture development at finite deformations of metals, simple shear analyses for the simulation of fixed-end torsion experiments for ${\alpha}$-Fe, Al and Cu at different strain rates are reviewed with an emphasis on the role of constitutive spins. Complicated responses of the axial stresses with monotonically increasing shear deformations can be successfully described by the capacity of orthotropic hardening part, featuring tensile axial stresses either smooth or oscillatory. Temperature effect on the responses of axial stresses for Cu is investigated in relation to the distortion and orientation of yield surface. The flexibility of this combined hardening model in the simulation of finite inelastic strains is discussed with reference to the variations of constitutive spins depending upon strain rates and temperatures.

We studied about the rotor design change using a Ferrite ring magnet to reduce material cost in the condition of the same stator core design. However, this design direction has many weak points such as the decrease of BEMF, the low maximum output, the irreversible demagnetization characteristics of a permanent magnet and so on. In order to mitigate such disadvantages, an optimization design of the BLDC motor has been developed by changing each design parameter and by improving the electromagnetic structure. In the proposed water pump SPM BLDC motor using Ferrite magnet, the outer and inner diameter of stator is fixed to the value of the conventional IPM BLDC motor using Nd-Fe-B magnet. The design specification requirements should be satisfied with the same output power and efficiency characteristics in the same dimension. As a result of this study, the design comparison results considering driving performances and material cost are represented. Through the actual experiment with the prototype of the designed motor, the simulations results are verified.

In the current study, we present a new model for predicting width spread of a slab with a dog-bone shaped cross section during rolling in the roughing train of a hot strip mill. The approach is based on the extremum principle for a rigid plastic material and a three dimensional admissible velocity field. The upper bound theorem is used for calculating the width spread of the slab. The prediction accuracy of the proposed model is examined through comparison with the predictions from 3-D finite element (FE) process simulations.

Precision control of the slab is crucial for product quality and production economy in hot strip mills. The current study presents a new model for predicting width spread of a slab with a rectangular cross section during roughing. The model is developed on the basis of the extremum principle for a rigid plastic material and a three dimensional admissible velocity field. This model incorporates the effect of process variables such as the shape factor and the ratio of width to thickness. We compare the results of this model to 3-D finite element (FE) process simulations and also to results from a previous study.

본 논문에서는 여러 가지의 구성방정식 모델을 이용하여 NATM 터널의 유한요소 해석의 적용에 대하여 설명하였다. 일련의 2차원 평면변형률 조건하 NATM 터널의 지반-구조물에 대한 해석을 분석하였다. 사용한 4가지 구성방정식 모델로는 선형탄성, Mohr-Coulomb 탄소성, 변형경화, 연화지반모델이다. 터널설계에서는 지표면의 침하, 지보재 축력에 대한 적절한 예측이 필요하다. 수치해석결과 진보된 구성방정식 모델이 지반변형과 지보재의 축력에 대해 보다 적절한 결과를 나타내었다.

Unlike the drawing of round section from round bar, the shaped drawing like polygonal section is known to have influence not only drawing stress but also corner filling. Therefore. this study analyze the drawing process of suqare rod from round bar using nonsteady state rigid-plastic FEM. To investigate effects of process variables of the drawing process of square rod from round bar, FE-simulations with variety of reduction in area and semi-die angle for a given frictional condition have been conducted. By this results, it has to suggest optimal process condition on the drawing stress and the corner filling. In addition, it has determined forming limit considering necking and bulging.

This paper presents numerical estimation of burst pressures of axial cracked U-bend tubes, considering the U-bending process analysis. The validity of the FE simulations is confirmed by comparing with published experimental data. From parametric analyses, it is shown that existing EPRI burst pressure estimation equations for straight tubes can be conservatively used to estimate burst pressures of the U-bend tubes. This is due to the increase in yield strength during the U-bending process. The degree of conservatism would decrease with increasing the bend radius and with increasing the crack depth.

Potentiodynamic polarization, EIS measurements, quantum chemical calculations, and molecular dynamic simulations were used to investigate the corrosion behavior of mild steel in 0.5 M aqueous hydrochloric acid medium in the presence or absence of nystatin drug. Potentiodynamic tests suggested that this molecule could act as a mixed inhibitor due to its adsorption on the mild steel surface. The objective of this study was to exploit theoretical calculations to gain a better understanding mechanism of inhibition. Calculating the adsorption behavior of the investigated molecule on Fe (1 1 0) surface was accomplished using Monte Carlo simulation. Molecules were also investigated using Density Functional Theory (DFT), specifically PBE functional, in order to identify the link between molecular structure and corrosion inhibition behavior of the compound under investigation. Adsorption energies between nystatin and iron were estimated more accurately by utilizing Molecular Mechanics calculation with Periodic Boundary Conditions (PBC). Estimated theoretical parameters significantly assisted our understanding of the corrosion inhibition mechanism exhibited by this molecule. They were found to be in accord with experimental results.
