dc.description.abstract | First, finite element analysis is used to numerically investigate the influence of superimposed hydrostatic pressure on ductility and fracture strain of compressed rings, using the ABAQUS/Explicit solver. As hydrostatic pressure increases, the stress state at the cross-section of the ring changes, and the tensile radial and tangential stress components become compressive. Decreasing stress triaxiality results in higher values of fracture strain. Radial stresses at the ring’s cross-section are more easily affected by hydrostatic pressure. The numerical results show that strain to fracture increases linearly with the hydrostatic pressure regardless of the shape factor or geometry of the rings. Second, the effects of strain rate sensitivity on fracture of laminated rings under dynamic compressive loading are numerically investigated. Adding layers of rate-sensitive material at the outer wall enhances the ductility of the rings. The topographic arrangement and layer thickness play an important role in the crack initiation and propagation path. In the case of having layers of brittle materials inside the cross-section, the cracks initiate in the brittle layers first, from the inner layers at the cross-sections. When the layer thickness is relatively high, a delamination-like behavior occurs at the interface of hard and soft materials. Third, responses of cubic shear–compression models are analyzed numerically. A set of approximate analytical relations are determined to obtain effective stress and effective strain of the material from the displacements of the gauge section and reaction force. A universal prediction model is determined, based on the analyses of 125 simulations, and its performance is tested. The predicted stress–strain curves are in good agreement with the input stress–strain curves of the material with an average error of approximately 3%. These numerical results set a basis for determining stress–strain curve of materials directly from the force–displacement curves of shear–compression tests. | en_US |

dc.description.layabstract | In this thesis, the finite element method (FEM) is utilized to investigate mechanical behavior and large plastic deformation of components under compression and different conditions. In the first and second parts of this work, the ABAQUS/Explicit package, and Johnson–Cook material and failure models are used to study the effects of superimposed hydrostatic pressure and cladding layers of rate-sensitive and rate-insensitive materials on ring compression test. Models of rings with different geometries and different topological arrangements of hard and soft materials will be used in the numerical simulations and the fracture mechanism of the rings under compressive loading will be investigated in detail. In the last part of this work, large plastic deformation at the gauge section of shear–compression models will be studied and a universal relationship for determining stress–strain curves of materials from the force–displacement curves of shear–compression tests will be obtained. | en_US |
