This paper presents an effective application of a variable-node axisymmetric solid element designated as AQV (Axisymmetric Quadrilateral Variable-node element). The variable-node element with physical midside nodes helps to overcome some problems in connecting the different layer patterns on a quadrilateral mesh in the adaptive h-refinement. This element alleviates the necessity of imposing displacement constraints on irregular (hanging) nodes in order to enforce the inter-element compatibility. Therefore, the elements with variable mid-side nodes can be used effectively in the local mesh refinement for the axisymmetric structures which have stress concentrations. A modified Gaussian quadrature should be adopted to evaluate the stiffness matrices of the variable-node elements mainly because of the slope discontinuity of assumed displacement within the elements. Some numerical examples show the usefulness of variable-node axisymmetric elements in the practical application.

A fully automatic computer simulation technique of axisymmetric multi-stage compound forging processes was presented in this paper. A penalty rigid-viscoplastic finite element method was employed together with an improved looping method for automatically remeshing with quadrilateral finite-elements only. An application example of six-stage axisymmetric forging processes involving one cold and two hot forging processes, two piercing processes and a sizing process was given with emphasis on automatically tracing the metal flow lines through the whole simulation.

This paper introduces two kinds of new four-node quadrilateral axisymmetric elements with independently-assumed strains. They are formulated by the modified Hellinger-Reissner principle so as to employ incompatible displacements and assumed strains. In one of the present elements, the strains from incompatible displacements are corrected to pass the constant strain patch test. The other contains incompatible functions that are obtained from the element boundary condition. The elements are evaluated on the several problems of bending and material incompressibility with regular and distorted meshes. The results show that the new element performs excellently in deformation and stress calculation.

The main objective of this paper is to develop the finite element study on the nonlinear free vibration of functionally graded nanocomposite spherical shells reinforced with graphene platelets under the first-order shear deformation shell theory and von Kármán nonlinear kinematic relations. The governing equations are presented by introducing the full asymmetric nonlinear strain-displacement relations followed by the constitutive relations and energy functional. The extended Halpin-Tsai model is utilized to specify the overall Young's modulus of the nanocomposite. Then, the finite element formulation is derived and the quadrilateral 8-node shell element is implemented for finite element discretization. The nonlinear sets of dynamic equations are solved by the use of the harmonic balance technique and iterative method to find the nonlinear frequency response. Several numerical examples are represented to highlight the impact of involved factors on the large-amplitude vibration responses of nanocomposite spherical shells. One of the main findings is that for some geometrical and material parameters, the fundamental vibrational mode shape is asymmetric and the axisymmetric formulation cannot be appropriately employed to model the nonlinear dynamic behavior of nanocomposite spherical shells.

본 논문에서는 균열을 지닌 축대칭 문제를 해석하기 위하여 시간적분형 운동방정식을 바탕으로 한 유한요소 해법을 제시한다. 유한요소메쉬는 8절점 등매개변수 사변형 요소와 균열선단에서의 1/4절점 삼각형 특이요소로 구성되며, 동적 응력확대계수는 균열면상의 1/4절점의 y방향 변위로부터 구한다. 제시된 해법의 정확성과 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 내부에 원환균열을 지닌 무한 탄성체가 균열면상에서 충격하중을 받을 때의 동적 응력확대계수를 계산하고 타 수치결과와 비교 검토하였다. 응용 예제로서 원환균열과 원주균열을 지닌 중실축과 중공축의 동적 응력확대계수를 균열의 길이와 축의 길이에 따른 영향을 자세히 조사하였다. 균열길이가 커지면 동적 응력확대계수가 커지고, 축의 길이가 길어지면 동적 응력확대계수 곡선의 폭도 함께 증가됨을 확인하였다. 그리고 균열의 위치가 안쪽에 포함될 경우보다는 바깥쪽에 포함될 때 더 큰 동적 응력확대계수가 발생됨을 밝힌다.

In this paper, a parametric study on the influence of friction between materials on pull force in single clinching is conducted using an axisymmetric elasto-plastic finite element method and law of Coulomb friction. An appropriate finite element analysis model is given, which minimizes the effect of the material model and numerical factors including the number of quadrilateral finite elements and blank radius. It is emphasized that the elasto-plastic material model should be employed because the elastic deformation of the internal region is affected more by the pull force. It has been shown that the pull force increases as friction coefficient increases and that the optimized friction coefficient is around 0.4, which is qualitatively comparable with its theoretical value. When the friction coefficient reaches 0.5 in the example studied, the neck fracture is predicted.
