Abstract:

Knowing the stresses and pressures in the contact between two deformable solids is fundamental in order to optimize the strength and the lifetime of mechanical components such as bearings or gears. These constraints can be determined by the calculation (finite element method or Hertz theory) or by experimental methods such as photoelasticity. The objective of this study is to model and compute the stress field and contact pressure using 3D finite element software. The validation of obtained results is done by comparison with the classical results of the non linear Hertz theory between two deformable cylinders. An application to spur gears with a circle involute profile is done and also validate with the same

Prediction of effective properties for multiphase composite is very important not only to analysis and optimization of material performance, but also to new material designs. In this paper, the effective elastic property of some complex particulate composites is analyzed and compared with numerical results, demonstrating the validity of the proposed approach. We propose the equivalent morphology concept for the numerical homogenization of random composites. In this study, this concept is extended for complex material. A home script based on Python codes is made to automate the generating of Representative volume element with various volume fraction.

In this paper, the study of precipitation reaction in the aluminum alloy known as AGS 6101. For the case of Cold drawn wires process in the open air space and at room temperature for two years, we inspect first the presence of precipitates in the microstructure and study the effect of heat treatment on the activation of this phenomenon [1]. The second objective of this work is to see the effect of natural and thermal aging on the microstructural evolution of cold-drawn aluminum wires (AGS) 6101 [2-5]. The characterization methods used in this work are optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction.
