An improved constitutive model for the numerical simulation of semi-solid thixoforming
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to model thixoforming processes, previous papers presented a thermo-mechanical onephase modelling. This first version of constitutive model revealed several limitations: the model could not degenerate properly to pure solid or liquid behaviour neither to free solid suspensions. The aim of this paper was to propose solutions to overcome these limitations.

An Enhanced Viscoplastic Constitutive Model for Semi-Solid Materials to Analyze Shear Localization
Semi-solid materials undergo strain localization and shear band formation as a result of granular nature of semi-solid deformation. In the present study, to analyze the shear localization, a unified viscoplastic constitutive model was developed for the homogeneous flow. Then, a linearized analysis of the stability performed by examining the necessary condition for the perturbation growth. For t...
متن کاملExperimental Study and FEM Simulation of the Effect of Significant Parameters in the Thixoforging of the Gearbox Cap
Semi-solid forming processes are now used for producing near net shape parts especially in the automotive and aircraft industries. Non Newtonian rheology of semisolid alloys and its dependence on the various parameters such as reheating cycle, method used to produce non-dendritic structure, thermo-shear history etc. have made the simulation of the flow behavior of semisolid material a difficult...

n this work, computational fluid dynamics of the flow behavior in a cold flow of fluidized bed is studied. An improved finite volume based finite element method has been introduced to solve the two-phase gas/solid flow hydrodynamic equations. This method uses a collocated grid, where all variables are located at the nodal points. The fluid dynamic model for gas/solid two-phase flow is based on ...

Abstract Gas to liquid (GTL) process involves heterogeneous catalytic chemical reactions that convert synthesis gas to hydrocarbons and water vapor. A three phase reactor, called Low temperature Fischer-Tropsch (LTFT) is commonly applied for GTL process. In this reactor the gaseous phase includes the synthesis gas, light hydrocarbons and water vapor, the liquid phase is a mixture of the h...
