The paper presents a fully automatic finite element procedure for the simulation of industrial bulk metal forming processes. The procedure is based on a rigid (-quasi-viscous) plastic material law. Thermomechanical analyses are performed by loose or full coupling of the heat balance and the equilibrium equations. To ensure a real automatic simulation, the numerical procedure is made robust by using Euler time integration, a Newton-Raphson solver which is coupled with a direct iteration solver, a linear contact algorithm and, finally, a completely automatic hexahedral mesh generation scheme. Severe deformations are detected automatically and are handled by mesh smoothing and/or by remeshing. The all-hexahedral-mesh generation is based on a modified octree scheme. The method is implemented in the ANSI-C programming language. Effectiveness of the method is demonstrated by an industrial application.

Application of computer-aided injection moulding simulation for thermoplastic materials Onalir, B; Kaftanoglu, B; Balkan, Raif Tuna (1998-01-01) This paper presents the computer-aided simulation of an injection moulding process for thermoplastic materials. The reasons for using computer simulation for the injection moulding process are discussed together with description of the mould-filling and cooling phenomena. The paper also traces the difficulties in transferring the geometry of the part database from a computer-aided design environment to a computer-aided analysis environment by proposing several solutions for plastic products. Details of simu...
Computational modelling of carbon nanotube reinforced polymer composites Zuberi, Muhammad Jibran Shahzad; Esat, Volkan; Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014-7) This thesis investigates the effects of chirality and size of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on the mechanical properties of both SWNTs and carbon nanotube reinforced epoxy composites (CNTRPs). First, a novel 3D beam element finite element model is developed based on equivalent-continuum mechanics approach and used for replacing C-C chemical bond for modelling SWNTs. The effects of diameter and chirality on the Young’s moduli, shear moduli, shear strains and Poisson’s ratios of SWNTs are studied. Fo...
Accurate pressure prediction of a servo-valve controlled hydraulic system KILIÇ, Ergin; Dölen, Melik; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Çalışkan, Hakan; Balkan, Raif Tuna (2012-10-01) The main goal of this paper is to predict the chamber pressures in hydraulic cylinder of a servo-valve controlled hydraulic system accurately using advanced modeling tools like artificial neural networks. After showing that the black-box modeling approaches are not sufficient for long-term prediction of pressures, a structured neural network model is proposed to capture the pressure dynamics of this inherently non-linear system. The paper shows that the proposed network model could be easily trained to pred...
Integrated modeling of ring pack performance Keribar, Rifat; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Flemming, Michael F. (1991-01-01) This paper describes an integrated model developed for the detailed characterization and simulation of piston ring pack behavior in internal combustion engines and the prediction of ring pack performance. The model includes comprehensive and coupled treatments of 1) ring-liner hydrodynamic and boundary lubrication and friction; 2) ring axial, radial and (toroidal) twist dynamics; 3) inter-ring gas dynamics and blowby. The model also includes characterizations of oil transport by rings, as film and of ring-b...
Discrete event simulation of the post-earthquake restoration process for electric power systems Ertuğrul, Zehra (2007-01-01) This paper describes a discrete event simulation model of the post-earthquake restoration process for electric power systems. The model explicitly represents the real-life restoration process, enabling development of geographically disaggregated, quantitative restoration curves with uncertainty bounds, a dynamic map showing the spatial distribution of outages changing over time, and information on how personnel and repair materials are used throughout the process. The new restoration modelling approach is a...
