Investigation on blanking of thick sheet metal using the ductile fracture initiation and propagation criterion

In metal forming processes such as sheet blanking, severe plastic deformation localizes in a narrow shear band near blanking clearance, and ductile fracture occurs at the final stage. Because the combinations of large nonlinear strain localization, displacement discontinuity and ductile fracture brought obstacles to numerical simulation, a ductile fracture initiation criterion model and an elasto-plastic finite element method (FEM) were presented to simulate localized severe plastic deformation. Initiation and propagation of cracks were treated by deletion-and-replacement approach. The distributions and developing trends of effective strain and damage were predicted, the influence of blanking clearance on fracture was discussed, and an experiment was performed to explore the forming mechanism.     

DDARF多尺度网格划分方法及其应用

为优化非连续变形分析(Discontinuous Deformation Analysis for Rock Failure)中计算精度和计算时间的关系,文章提出了DDARF多尺度网格划分方法,分别建立了多尺度网格和均匀网格的单轴压缩模型,并进行了数值试验和室内试验的对比;将多尺度网格划分方法应用于大型地下洞室开挖,对洞室附近区域进行了针对性研究。结果表明:DDARF多尺度网格与均匀网格模型单轴压缩试验相比,网格数量相同时提高了裂隙附近的计算精度,裂隙扩展规律与室内试验更为吻合;多尺度网格划分方法应用于地下洞室的开挖,在相同计算精度下减少了计算时间,提高了效率,位移规律和FLAC计算结果吻合度较高;多尺度网格划分方法完善并加强了DDARF模拟岩体裂隙扩展的功能,对大型岩土工程稳定性的优化分析具有重要的实用意义。
