This study investigates the deformation behavior of commercially pure aluminum using finite element analysis, focusing on the combined equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) and extrusion process. The objective is to analyze the effects of die angle, extrusion ratio, and friction coefficient on the process and the resulting material properties. The findings indicate that a smaller die angle, higher extrusion ratio, and increased friction coefficient all contribute to a greater required process force. While friction between the sample and die wall disrupts uniform plastic strain distribution, increasing the die angle up to 110° and using an extrusion ratio of 6.25 enhance strain uniformity.

The present research study explores the mechanical properties of poly lactic acid (PLA) composites reinforced with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), focusing on their performance in triangular, inclined, and curved support bracket geometries. Tensile tests revealed that tensile stress increases with MWCNT concentrations up to 3 wt.%, but decreases at 5 wt.%. Enhanced mechanical performance at lower concentrations is attributed to uniform CNT dispersion within the PLA matrix, facilitating effective load transfer. Conversely, at 5 wt.%, MWCNT agglomeration disrupts matrix continuity, leading to weaker mechanical properties. The alignment of CNTs with the loading direction significantly influences the performance, with 0° printing angles yielding higher tensile strength due to optimized load transfer. The geometric configuration of the brackets further affects deflection behavior; maximum deflections were observed to decrease with increasing MWCNT content, particularly at 3 wt.%, but slightly increase at 5 wt.%, indicative of reduced stiffness due to aggregation. This work emphasizes the importance of both CNT concentration and geometric design in optimizing the mechanical characteristics of PLA/MWCNT composites; that revealing how to vary geometries impact stress distribution on overall performances.Keywords: 3D Printing, Poly Lactic Acid Composites, Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes, Finite Element Simulation, Nanocomposites

Surface roughness significantly affects the scattering of load-displacement curves and the measurement of mechanical properties by the macro-scale indentation. Many mechanical properties such as modulus of elasticity, yield stress, strain hardening exponent, and hardness can be determined using the indentation results, which are the information obtained from the load-displacement curve. Reliable parameters of the load-displacement (P-h) curve are employed to estimate the mechanical properties. The inaccurate P-h curve leads to a misestimation of material properties. Ignoring the surface roughness might be a source of error in the indentation results. In this paper, the effects of surface roughness on the P-h curve of macro spherical indentation and Brinell hardness number (BHN) were studied. The range of roughness with minimal effect on indentation results was obtained. The surface roughness of 2 and 12 microns was created on the experimental samples using the electrical discharge machining (EDM) process. The finite element simulations were performed with different surface roughnesses. The results showed that roughness affected both the P-h curve and hardness values in different indentation depths and various indenter sizes. It was observed that with increasing the Rq roughness, the P-h curve level and hardness value decreased and that with increasing the indentation depth, the effect of roughness on hardness decreased as well. The neumerical results showed a good agreement with the results of experiments.

Residual stress was measured using the nanoindentation method and the results used for verification of the numerical results. The results showed that with increasing the amplitude of the interface, the maximum stress decreases and then increases with further amplitude increment.

Micro-stamping process is one of the most cost-effective methods to manufacture metallic bipolar plates (BPPs). This research investigates the forming of titanium thin sheet as a potential candidate for BPPs in proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). In this regard, the process was first simulated using finite element (FE) code Abaqus. Afterward, experimental tests were implemented and the validation of the FE model was confirmed using the experimental results. In the simulations, the corner radius of the die, draft angle, and friction coefficient at die/sheet interface were selected as variable factors. Forming force and thickness reduction as response functions were evaluated. It is demonstrated that the die corner radius has more influence on the maximum punch force compared to the draft angle and friction coefficient. The maximum punch force decreases with increasing the die corner radius. On the other hand, in order to have a lower thickness reduction, a high die corner radius, higher draft angle, and low friction coefficient are required.Keywords: Bipolar Plates, Titanium Sheet, Finite element simulation, Micro-stamping

In the present study the combination of extrusion and equal channel angular pressing is imployed for severe plastic deformation of materials. Using this method, a severe plastic deformation was imposed succesfully on pure copper, Al7075 alloy, plain low carbon and microalloyed steels. The cabability of the proposed methode in production of nanostructured materials was approved by anallyzing the obtained microstructures of processed samples with opticaal microscopy and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy.

Also, the plastic deformation was applied on these materials at high temperatures. In the case of Al7075 alloy the microstructure was refined to the mean grain size of 6 µm through the occurance of dynamic recrystallization during deformation at the preheating temperature of 250 ̊C. Also, the plastic deformation of plain carbon steel at the preheating temperature of 930 ̊C demonstrated that the microstructure can be refined to 3 µm through dynamic strain induced transformation of austenite to ferrite. Moreover, the plastic deformation characteristics of combined extrusion-equal channel angular pressing was studied using finite element simultion. The formation of superficial cracks on the topside of Al7075 sample was also predicted using the FEM analysis.Keywords: Extrusion, equal channel angular pressing, finite element simulation, nanostructured material

The effect of process parameters including feed rate (4 and 8 mm) and turn angle (15, 30 and 60°) on damage build-up were also evaluated. The Johnson-cook model was used to simulate the flow behavior of material. By considering compressive stresses, a new revised Latham-Cockcraft damage was calculated and used to determine the optimum process parameters. It was found that the radial and hoop strains in all friction conditions were compressive, while the axial strains were observed to be tensile. The amount of strain (whether it is compressive or tensile strain) was also higher on the outside of the tube compared to its inside. By considering fatigue cycles of a tube element during the process, the feed rate of 8mm, turn angle of 60° and the lowest coefficient of friction were determined as optimum parameters.

Results showed that the corner gap is not formed during deformation of ideally plastic material and the amount of eauivalent strain is higher in the bottom side of sample compared with other regions. However, with increassing the work hardening exponent, the size of corner gap increases and the bottom side recieves less amount of strain. Also, damage factor in the sample of idealy plastic material is higher at the top side compared with other regions and the tensile stresses are aplliyed on this area. Whereas, in the strain hardened material the higher damage factor was observed at the lower half of the sample. Finally. it was concluded that the pressing force increases with increassing the work hardening exponent.Keywords: Equal channel angular pressing, finite element simulation, work hardening, Damage

Since tubes have numerous industrial applications, different attempts are focused on the severe plastic deformation processes of tubes. As an illustration, tube channel pressing (TCP) is an attractive process for this purpose since it can be used for processing of different sizes of tubes. However, more attempts are needed to improve the outcomes of TCP. For example, imposing of a greater strain besides reductions of the strain heterogeneity are the challenges of this process. This work is aimed to optimize the die geometry of TCP through a finite element simulation procedure verified by experiments in order to increase the imposed strain as well as to decrease the strain heterogeneity. Results show that the increase of die curvature radius causes decrease of imposed plastic strain and increase of strain heterogeneity. In addition, the minimum amount of die convex height for imposing of a reasonable strain through TCP is calculated considering the tube thickness and the channel angle. Besides this, the optimum die geometry is recommended in order to minimize the strain heterogeneity.Keywords: Severe plastic deformation, Finite element simulation, Strain analysis

In the present investigation, an artificial neural network (ANN) model is developed to predict the isothermal hot forging behavior of AlCuMgPb aluminum alloy. The inputs of the ANN are deformation temperature, frictional factor, ram velocity and displacement whereas the forging force, barreling parameter and final shape are considered as the output variable. The developed feed-forward back-propagation ANN model is trained with Leven berg–Marquardt learning algorithm. Since the finite element (FE) simulation of the process is a time-consuming procedure, the ANN has been designed and the outputs of the FE simulation of the hot forging are used for training the network and then, the network is employed for prediction of the behavior of the output parameters during the isothermal forging process. Experimental data is compared with the FE predictions to verify the model accuracy. The performance of the ANN model is evaluated using a wide variety of standard statistical indices. Results show that the ANN model can efficiently and accurately predict isothermal hot forging behavior of AlCuMgPb alloy. Finally the extrapolation ability and noise sensitivity of the ANN model are also investigated. It is found that the extrapolation ability is very high in the proximity of the training domain, and the noise tolerance ability very robust.Keywords: AlCuMgPb aluminum alloy, isothermal hot forging, artificial neural network, finite element simulation

Pyroplastic deformation is a distortion of the ceramic shape during the sintering process. It occurs because the flow of the vitreous phase at high temperature and the applied stress due to the weight of the product during sintering process. The aim of this paper deals with describing a numerical-experimental method to evaluate the pyroplastic deformation, to predict the anisotropic shrinkage and heterogeneous densification for ceramic materials during the liquid phase sintering process, as a function of sintering time. For this purpose, three experimental configurations including midpoint deflection, sinter bending and free sintering test were designed; the finite element method are implemented by the CREEP user subroutine code in ABAQUS. The fair accordance between simulation results and experimental data reveals that the shear and bulk viscosity modulus as well as dynamic viscosity used in the simulation are near the real ones. The anisotropic shrinkage factor K_xy has been proposed to investigate the shrinkage anisotropy. It has been shown that the shrinkage along the normal axis of slip casting is about 1.5 times larger than that of casting direction. The inhomogeneity in Von-Misses, pressure, and principal stress intensifies the density non-uniformity in the samples.Keywords: Pyroplastic deformation, Finite element simulation, Heterogeneous densification, Sintering, Anisotropy shrinkage

In this paper, torsion extrusion (TE) process on 1050 aluminum alloy was investigated by simulation as a severe plastic deformation (SPD) method and the effects of friction coefficient, angular velocity of the rotating die and punch speed on maximum punch force were studied. A finite element (FE) model was developed to simulate the TE process via DEFORM software. The FE results were validated compared with experimental results and then the FE model was used for implementing the set of simulations designed by Taguchis L9 orthogonal array. Maximum punch force was determined and put into signal to noise (S/N) ratio and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) techniques to specify the importance and contribution of parameters. The results indicated that the friction coefficient has the most effect on maximum punch force and effects of the angular velocity and punch speed are not sensible. Results analysis represented that maximum punch force enhances by increasing the friction coefficient. Moreover, friction coefficient of 0.18, angular velocity of 0.11 rad/s and punch speed of 0.2 mm/s lead to the minimum punch force.Keywords: Torsion Extrusion, Maximum Punch Force, Finite Element Simulation, Taguchi Method

Kevlar is a type of aramid fibers which is characterized by high strength to low weight ratio. This material is widely used in bulletproof vests and helmets, in which it creates a barrier to projectiles to protect specific objectives, laminated tubes and pressure vessels, etc. In this study the ballistic behavior of Kevlar /epoxy composite and Kevlar fabric is investigated. The results showed that Kevlar fabrics were more resistant against projectiles. Tensile and punch tests revealed that although the Kevlar/Epoxy composite enjoys higher strength, undergoes lower deformation than Kevlar fabric. The results also indicated that the failure mechanism of Kevlar fabric was quite ductile whereas the presence of epoxy in Kevlar/epoxy changed the failure mechanism from ductile to brittle in the form of plugging in ballistic tests. Finally, the ballistic behavior of the Kevlar fabric was simulated by ABAQUS finite element software and the results were validated by the experiment.Keywords: Kevlar fiber, Finite element simulation, Kevlar, Epoxy, Ballistic

The scientific importance of nanocomposites is being increased due to their improved properties. This paper is divided into two parts. First, Al-Al2O3 nanocomposite was produced by using ball milling technique followed by cold compaction and sintering. Microstructure and morphology studies were done through SEM, TEM, and EDX analyses on the produced powder. The mechanical properties of the produced composite were determined by the tensile test. Also, nano-indentation experiment was conducted on the produced composite to determine its hardness. Second, a 2-D axisymmetry model was implemented in ANSYS software to simulate the nano-indentation experiment on pure aluminum and Al-Al2O3 nanocomposite. A conical indenter with 70.3◦ was considered in simulations. The results show that, a homogenous distribution of the reinforcement in the matrix was achieved after 20 h milling. The elastic modulus, yield strength, and the hardness of the produced composite were increased compared to the pure metal. The finite element (FE) simulation results showed a good agreement with the experimental results for nano-indentation experiment. The scatter of the FE results from the experimental results in the pure metal was smaller than that observed for the nanocomposite.Keywords: Nanocomposite, Mechanical Milling, Finite Element Simulation, Hardness

Plastic deformation of 7075 Aluminum Alloy using Integrated Extrusion-Equal Channel Angular PressingGrain refinement improves the mechanical properties and formability of metals and alloys. So far, several different grain refinement methods have been proposed and studied. Severe plastic deformation is one of the most promising and efficient methods. Therefore, in the present study the possibility of imposing a two-step severe plastic deformation (Extrusion and Equal channel angular pressing) on AA7075 alloy using a special designed die is investigated. Using this method, a very coarse grained microstructure with grain size of 94µm is refined to grain size of 7.5µm. Also, microstructural developments during severe deformation with and without preheating are investigated. Plastic strain distribution and temperature variation inside deformed samples are predicted by the use of thermal coupled displacement 3D finite element method. Results of FEM simulations clearly showes that the plastic strain distribution and temperature is non-uniform in sample and this introduces inhomogeneity in the resultant microstructure of sample at different regions.Keywords: severe plastic deformation, 7075 aluminum alloy, finite element simulation
