in this paper, numerical simulation of frp composite cylinder tubes progressive crushing processes is conducted using ls-dyna. details on the numerical modeling strategy are given and discussed. it is found that triggers introduced in the numerical simulation can effectively model the bevel trigger at the end of the tubular specimens. it is also found that two-layer finite element model based o...

The manufacturing of components for aero engine structures from a flat sheet to the final shape usually requires several steps that may introduce residual stresses and shape distortions in the part. Depending on the magnitude, sign and distribution with respect to the stresses induced by the service load, the remaining stresses may affect the service life of a component, especially when submitt...

BACKGROUND In the state of the art finite element AHBMs for car crash analysis in the LS-DYNA software material named *MAT_MUSCLE (*MAT_156) is used for active muscles modeling. It has three elements in parallel configuration, which has several major drawbacks: restraint approximation of the physical reality, complicated parameterization and absence of the integrated activation dynamics. This s...

The dynamic performances of head cutter for boom-type excavator were researched, and the corresponding dynamic equilibrium equations were derived. Based on the explicit dynamics analysis techniques of the Software ANSYS/LS-DYNA, transient dynamic analysis was carried out to simulate the cutting process of head cutter, and the main kinetic parameters were achieved. Finally, the cutting performan...
