Nanofracture in graphene under complex mechanical stresses
Nanoscale fracture of graphene under coupled in-plane opening and shear
mechanical loading is investigated by extensive molecular dynamics
simulations. Under opening-dominant loading, zigzag edge cracks grow
self-similarly. Otherwise, complex stresses concentrated around
crack-tip can manipulate the direction of crack initiation changing by
30° (or multiples of 30°). Toughness determined by obtained critical
stress intensity factors 2.63–3.38 nN Å−3/2
demonstrates that graphene is intrinsically brittle opposite to its
exceptional high strength at room temperature. Torn zigzag edges are
more energetically and kinetically favorable. Cracking of graphene has
Temperature dependence of the dielectric constant of acrylic dielectric elastomer
The dielectric constant is an essential electrical parameter to the
achievable voltage-induced deformation of the dielectric
elastomer. This paper primarily focuses on the temperature
dependence of the dielectric constant (within the range of 173 K
to 373 K) for the most widely used acrylic dielectric
elastomer (VHB 4910). First the dielectric constant was investigated
experimentally with the broadband dielectric spectrometer
(BDS). Results showed that the dielectric constant first increased
with temperature up to a peak value and then dropped to a
relative small value. Then by analyzing the fitted curves, the Cole–Cole
dispersion equation was found better to characterize the
rising process before the peak values than the Debye dispersion
Road Restraint Systems in Abaqus - 2012
In this paper, a correlation between simulation and a full crash test is presented. In order to achieve good agreement in the correlation, several Abaqus analysis techniques are evaluated.
Traction Prediction of a Smooth Rigid Wheel in Soil using Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian Analysis - 2012
The approach to modeling soil is validated by comparing predicted traction of a trolling rigid wheel to measured traction test date available in the literature. Comparison of the measured and predicted traction force shows that this approach is reasonable for predictin traction in soil.
Integrated Tool for Strain Extraction in Virtual Testing - 2012
This paper presents an automated approach to extract strains of aircraft structural models from widely used CAD and FE environments. The developed approach has been implemented as an integrated tool in widely used CATIA V5 and Abaqus environment. The integrated tool is a quick inexpensive and effecive technique for predicting structural strains.
Modeling the COnstitutive Response of Metals Under Complex Loading - 2012
In this paper, the different "built in" material models based on the isotropic, kinematic and combined istropic-kinematic hardening theories available in Abaqus/Standard are evaluated for carbon steels. The results presented in this study are expected to provide important insight to practicing engineers dealing with inelastic material characteristics.
Structural Topology Optimization of Multilink Suspension System Using ATOM - 2012
This study demonstrates a simulation of an integrated multilink suspension system model in
Abaqus. The model is assessed in Abaqus to determine the suspension strength and fatigue life of each individual link. This topological design optimization is executed for this multilink suspension model using ATOM to determine the critical load path, alternative concept designs, and locations for mass reduction in order to meet the performance requirements.
Thrust Collar Bearing Design Optimization using Isight - 2012
This paper describes the parameter-based geometrical optimization of a thrust collar bearing. The thrust bearing, for example, has to carry the whole axial force of the rotor with only minimal deformation of the collar surface over the turbocharger’s complete operating range.
Pipeline Dynamics with Flowing Contents in Abaqus/Standard - 2012
This paper discusses a method to address this challenge by the creation of a moving
tie constraint via the MPC user routine. This approach allows the change in weight; change in inertia and effects of fluid momentum to be correctly and conveniently captured using dynamic modelling.
