Numerical and experimental analysis of quench induced stresses and microstructures

1998-01-01
Numerical and experimental studies have been carried out to investigate the evolution of residual stresses and microstructures in quenched steel components. In the numerical analysis, a finite element model is implemented for predicting the temperature field, phase changes with their associated internal stresses in axisymmetrical components. The model is verified by several comparisons with other known numerical results. Case studies are performed to investigate the effects of the quench bath temperature and the specimen geometry. Specimen geometry has been analyzed by introducing a hole in a cylinder and varying hole diameter and its eccentricity. Experiments include microstructural examination and X-ray diffraction measurements of surface residual stresses

Numerical and experimental investigation of quench process
Gür, Cemil Hakan; Ozturk, T (1996-11-07)
Numerical and experimental studies have been carried out to investigate the evolution of residual stresses in quenched components induced by temperature gradient and phase transformations. In the numerical analysis, a finite element model is implemented for predicting the temperature field, phase changes with their associated internal stresses in axisymmetrical steel components. The model is verified by several comparisons with other known numerical results. Case studies are performed to investigate the eff...
Numerical simulation of solidification kinetics in A356/SiCp composites for assessment of as-cast particle distribution
CETIN, Arda; Kalkanlı, Ali (Elsevier BV, 2009-06-01)
The present work is aimed at studying the effect of solidification rate on reinforcement clustering in particle reinforced metal matrix composites (PMMCs) through numerical simulations and experimental studies. A macrotransport-solidification kinetics (MTSK) model was used to simulate the solidification kinetics of the PMMCs. The experimental validation of the numerical model was achieved through the Newtonian and Fourier thermal analysis methods. Results reveal that the MTSK model can be successfully used ...
Numerical investigation of non-homogenous plastic deformation in quenching process
Gür, Cemil Hakan (2001-12-01)
The aim of the study is to investigate the evolution of internal stresses and non-homogeneous plastic deformation in quenching by numerical simulation. This paper presents the finite element model of quenching of axisymmetric components and the results of various numerical experiments. In the simulation, first the temperature distribution is determined as a function of geometry and time, Then. a model is described to give the volume fractions of phases as a function of time for the corresponding cooling cur...
Numerical Analysis of Phase Change Material Characteristics Used in a Thermal Energy Storage Device
Bonyadi, Nima; Somek, Suleyman Kazim; Ozalevli, Cemil Cihan; Baker, Derek Keıth; Tarı, İlker (2018-01-01)
In this study, a numerical analysis is performed to investigate the freezing process of phase change materials (PCM) in a predesigned thermal energy storage (TES) device. This TES device is integrated with a milk storage cooling cycle operating under predefined practical conditions. Using this cooling unit, 100 litres of milk is kept cool at 4 degrees C for 48 hours before it is collected. A 2-D model of the TES device is developed in COMSOL Multiphysics to analyze the phase change performance of water-base...
Numerical modeling of the tension stiffening in reinforced concrete members via discontinuum models
Pulatsu, Bora; Erdogmus, Ece; Lourenco, Paulo B.; Lemos, Jose; Tuncay, Kağan (2020-06-01)
This study presents a numerical investigation on the fracture mechanism of tension stiffening phenomenon in reinforced concrete members. A novel approach using the discrete element method (DEM) is proposed, where three-dimensional randomly generated distinct polyhedral blocks are used, representing concrete and one-dimensional truss elements are utilized, representing steel reinforcements. Thus, an explicit representation of reinforced concrete members is achieved, and the mechanical behavior of the system ...
