Explosive forming is one of the unconventional techniques in which, most commonly, the water is used as the pressure transmission medium. One of the newest methods in explosive forming is gas detonation forming which uses a normal shock wave derived of gas detonation, to form sheet metals. For this purpose a detonation is developed from the reaction of H2+O2 mixture in a long cylindrical detona...

A newly developed method, named the quasi-dual function method (QDFM) is proposed for extracting edge stress intensity functions (ESIFs) along circular crack fronts from finite element solutions, in a general three-dimensional domain and boundary conditions. The mathematical machinery developed in the framework of the Laplace operator in [17] is extended here to the elasticity system and applie...

OBJECTIVE This study addresses the biomechanical response of isolated kidneys to traumatic insult. METHODS Kidneys were subjected to blunt impact by using a freely swinging right cylindrical pendulum. Force-deformation characteristics were derived for 65 impacted adult pig kidneys. Renal injuries were classified by autopsy, and an injury risk analysis was performed. In addition a finite eleme...

Presented is a total-Lagrangian displacement-based non-linear finite-element model of thin-film membranes for static and dynamic large-displacement analyses. The membrane theory fully accounts for geometric non-linearities. Fully non-linear static analysis followed by linear modal analysis is performed for an inflated circular cylindrical Kapton membrane tube under different pressures, and for ...

The composite pressure vessels are used in varieties of applications such as automobile, aeronautics and chemical engineering. Besides these, they have become very popular in oil and gas transport industries. These pressure vessels are experience very high internal pressures during their operation. The present paper demonstrates a study on cylindrical section of carbon fiber reinforced polymer ...

In this article,the multiobjective optimization of cylindrical aluminum tubes under axial impact load is presented. Absorbed energy and specific absorb energy are considered as objective functions while the mean crush load should not exceed allowable limit.The geometric dimentions of tubes including diameter and length of tube are selected as the design variables.The Non-dominated sorting Genet...

In this paper, the problem of minimizing the number of drawing stages and heat treatments needed for the multi-stage deep drawing of cylindrical shells is addressed. A conventional rule-based computer-aided process planning (CAPP) is utilized within a dynamic programming approach to generate a set of alternative optimal process plans. A finite element analysis is carried out to guide the select...

In this study, the authors use the finite element method to model and analyse a cylindrical copper shelled SLA electrode for EDM operations, which is investigated experimentally in literature. A uniform silver paint thickness and copper shell thickness is assumed around the SLA epoxy core. In the experiment, 2-D analysis was used due to the axissymmetric shape, and steady state and transient di...

This paper presents a methodology for assessing the confidence and the predictive capability of prognosis models, using the application of fatigue crack growth analysis. Structures with complicated geometry and multi-axial variable amplitude loading conditions are considered. Several models – finite element model, crack growth model, retardation model, surrogate model, etc. – are efficiently co...
