A combined DEM–FEM numerical method for Shot Peening parameter optimisation

A numerical modelling approach capable of simulating Shot Peening (SP) processes of industrial interest was developed by combining the Discrete Element Method (DEM) with the Finite Element Method (FEM).In this approach, shot–shot and shot–target interactions as well as the overall shot flow were simulated efficiently using rigid body dynamics. A new algorithm to dynamically adapt the coefficient of restitution (CoR) for repeated impacts of shots on the same spot was implemented in the DEM code to take into account the effect of material hardening. Then, a parametric study was conducted using the Finite Element Method (FEM) to investigate the influence of the SP parameters on the development of residual stresses.Finally, a two-step coupling method is presented to combine the output of DEM simulation with FEM analyses to retrieve the Compressive Residual Stresses (CRS) after multiple impacts with the aim to evaluate the minimum area required to be modelled to realistically capture the field of residual stresses. A series of such coupled analyses were performed to determine the effect of peening angle and the combination of initial velocity and mass flow rate on CRS.

一种高性能阵列架构研究

现今的应用程序需要更可靠的数据存储.到目前为止,数据存储的可靠性都是依靠不同的RAID级别来保证数据的可靠性,一般采用5个RAID级别[1,2]中的一种.存储方面的数据已经很明显地增长了,但是磁盘的可靠性并没有多大的改善.所以,为了控制存储的成本,有必要提供多元化的存储.在现有系统中加入新的RAID代码需要大量的开发、测试和调试工作,从成本上来讲是不现实的.因此,提出了一种新的通用RAID架构,此架构是基于异或的纠删码的,并将任意扇区和磁盘故障的组合作为基础,因而具有通用性.

基于AEM法的爆破拆除倒塌过程的数值模拟

利用应用单元法(AEM法),以含填充墙的某多层框架结构定向爆破拆除为例,进行倒塌过程的数值模拟。结果表明:在框架结构爆破切口形成后,结构由于重力作用逐渐沿横向偏转,并在横向最外侧的一排柱上形成活动铰,产生翻转倒塌,模拟结果与实际倒塌结果基本相符。在倒塌的过程中,结构爆破切口的横向很快进入大变形倒塌,同时引起横向隔墙的平面失去稳定而倒塌。落地的倒塌碎块,在纵向产生150kN左右的峰值冲击力,在横向产生30~50kN的峰值冲击力。基于仿真结果,可以定量设置防护措施,避免安全隐患。     

Temperature-gradient induced microstructure evolution in heat-affected zone of electron beam welded Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy

The heat-affected zone (HAZ) of electron beam welded (EBW) joint normally undergoes a unique heat-treating process consisting of rapid temperature rising and dropping stages, resulting in temperature-gradient in HAZ as a function of the distance to fusion zone (FZ). In the current work, microstructure, elements distribution and crystallographic orientation of three parts (near base material (BM) zone, mid-HAZ and near-FZ) in the HAZ of Ti-6Al-4V alloy were systematically investigated. The microstructure observation revealed that the microstructural variation from near-BM to near-FZ included the reduction of primary α (α_p) grains, the increase of transformed β structure (β_t) and the formation of various α structures. The rim-α, dendritic α and abnormal secondary α (α_s) colonies formed in the mid-HAZ, while the “ghost” structures grew in the near-FZ respectively. The electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA) and electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) technologies were employed to evaluate the elements diffusion and texture evolution during the unique thermal process of welding. The formation of the various α structures in the HAZ were discussed based on the EPMA and EBSD results. Finally, the nanoindentation hardness of “ghost” structures was presented and compared with nearby β_t regions.

A parallel direct solver for the self-adaptive hp Finite Element Method

In this paper we present a new parallel multi-frontal direct solver, dedicated for the hp Finite Element Method (hp-FEM). The self-adaptive hp-FEM generates in a fully automatic mode, a sequence of hp-meshes delivering exponential convergence of the error with respect to the number of degrees of freedom (d.o.f.) as well as the CPU time, by performing a sequence of hp refinements starting from an arbitrary initial mesh. The solver constructs an initial elimination tree for an arbitrary initial mesh, and expands the elimination tree each time the mesh is refined. This allows us to keep track of the order of elimination for the solver. The solver also minimizes the memory usage, by de-allocating partial LU factorizations computed during the elimination stage of the solver, and recomputes them for the backward substitution stage, by utilizing only about 10% of the computational time necessary for the original computations. The solver has been tested on 3D Direct Current (DC) borehole resistivity measurement simulations problems. We measure the execution time and memory usage of the solver over a large regular mesh with 1.5 million degrees of freedom as well as on the highly non-regular mesh, generated by the self-adaptive hp$hp$-FEM, with finite elements of various sizes and polynomial orders of approximation varying from p=1$p=1$ to p=9$p=9$. From the presented experiments it follows that the parallel solver scales well up to the maximum number of utilized processors. The limit for the solver scalability is the maximum sequential part of the algorithm: the computations of the partial LU factorizations over the longest path, coming from the root of the elimination tree down to the deepest leaf.
