STUDY ON THE DYNAMIC CONSTITUTIVE RELATION OF AZ31B MAGNESIUM ALLOY BASED ON JOHNSON–COOK MODEL Guanghan Zhang1,2, Zhiwu Zhu1,2, Shoune Xiao1, Tao Zhu1, Qijun Xie2 1State Key Laboratory of Traction Power, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu, Sichuan 610031, China 2Applied Mechanics and Structure Safety Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, School of Mechanics and Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu Sichuan 610031, China
To study the mechanical behavior and
constitutive model of a AZ31B magnesium alloy at a high strain rate, the
dynamic response of a strain rate ranging from 1630 to 3544 s-1 to the
AZ31B magnesium alloy was studied by conducting a split Hopkinson pressure
bar experiment. The dynamic stress-strain behavior of the AZ31B magnesium
alloy at a high strain rate was analyzed. The results showed that the AZ31B
magnesium alloy undergoes a change from an isotropic hardening to a strain
softening effect, and no strain rate effect is apparent. In addition, an
improved Johnson–Cook constitutive model is employed to consider the
influence of damage on the material and determine the parameters for the
model. The improved Johnson–Cook model combined with the damage failure
model can demonstrate the isotropic hardening behavior of the AZ31B
magnesium alloy and the strain softening behavior caused by the damage. The
fitting result was determined to be good as compared with the experimental
results.

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS OF DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE OF POLYPROPYLENE BALL BEARINGS Nesrine Gaaliche1,2, Subramanian Chithambaram3, Raouf Fathallah1,4 1Unit of Mechanical Production Engineering and Materials, National School of Engineers of Sfax, University of Sfax, Soukra Road Km 4 BP. 1173-3038, Tunisia 2Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Bahrain, P.O.

Thermoplastic bearings are finding its practical
importance in light duty applications due to their good tribological
property. Investigating the dynamic performance of thermoplastic bearing is
crucial due to the heterogeneous material structure. In this work, effort
has been made to investigate the dynamic performance of healthy and faulty
polypropylene bearings. Condition monitoring of bearings is carried out
using the developed test rig. The influence of the size of the defect,
effect of frequency and load are investigated using vibration analysis.
Radial accelerations and velocities were measured by accelerometers under
different loads and frequencies. Test results reveal that FFT spectrum
allows to localize the defect in the outer or the inner race and to
characterize the defect severity.

STRUCTURAL OPTIMIZATION OF LINEAR VIBRATION ISOLATION SYSTEMS Zh. B. Bakirov, M. Zh. Bakirov, G. D. Tazhenova, Zh. S. Nuguzhinov Karaganda State Technical University, Kazakhstan
This article addresses the problem of structural
optimization of linear vibration isolation systems in various actions. A
generalized criterion is formulated. The criterion reduces the problem of
finding the conditional extremum of the functionality to the finding of the
absolute extreme. Equations for the generalized criterion are obtained by
the transfer function for deterministic, arbitrary kinematic and force
actions. The optimal transfer function of the vibration isolation system is
determined in the process of optimal synthesis. The solution to the problems
of optimal synthesis for kinematic and random effects is given in the form
of "white noise" and an exponentially correlated process, as well as by
determined harmonic kinematic impact.

This article presents the results of the study of
micro-hardness on the end surface along the involute tooth profile after
processing with a rolling tool. The results of the study showed that the
value of micro hardness obtained by processing with "shaver-rolling
device" made of steel R6M5 is obtained within HB 263-271, and when
processed with using "shaver-rolling device" made of ShH15 steel within HB
274-276. The results of experimental studies have shown that with an
increase in cutting speed, the micro-hardness of the side and main working
surfaces of the teeth wheel decreases. The most favorable results were
obtained when processing tools is made of steel ShH15 at cutting conditions:
n = 100–400 rpm; S = 0.2 mm/rotation.

FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF ELASTOMERIC NETWORKS WITH FOCUS ON EFFECTS OF POROSITY Mohammad Hossein Moshaei1, Payman Sharifi Abdar2, Mohammadreza Azmoodeh3 1Department of Mechanical Engineering, Ohio University, Athens, Ohio, US 2Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Ohio University, Athens, Ohio, US 3Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran
One of the common assumptions in analysis of
polymer network on micromechanical level is the non-porosity of the
polymeric media, but it is merely a simplifying assumption. This study
dismissed this assumption and studies the polymeric networks with 10% and
20% porosity and compares them with a polymer media without porosity. To
model the porosity in the polymer network, a random morphology is employed
and using ABAQUS software, nonlinear finite element analysis is performed to
study the structure of the porous polymer network. Comparing the networks
with 10% and 20% porosity with the non-porous network shows the
significant effect of porosity in mechanical behavior of the polymer network
and how it can increase the maximum von-Mises stress remarkably.

INFLUENCE OF MATERIAL NON-LINEARITY ON DELAMINATION IN MULTILAYERED THREE-POINT BENDING BEAMS Victor Rizov1, Holm Altenbach2 1Department of Technical Mechanics, University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy, 1 Chr. Smirnensky blvd., 1046 Sofia, Bulgaria 2Lehrstuhl für Technische Mechanik und Geschäftsführender Leiter Institut für Mechanik G10/58, Fakultät für Maschinenbau, Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg, Universitätsplatz 2, 39106 Magdeburg, Deutschland
Delamination in multilayered three-point bending beam
configurations is analyzed assuming non-linear behaviour of the material in
each layer. For this purpose, an analytical approach is developed by using
the Ramberg–Osgood equation. A solution for the strain energy release rate
is derived by considering the energy balance. The strain energy release rate
is obtained also by analyzing the complementary strain energy for
verification. The solution derived is valid for a beam made of an arbitrary
number of adhesively bonded horizontal layers of different thicknesses and
material properties. Besides, the delamination can be located arbitrary
between layers. The solution is applied for parametric investigations of
delamination behaviour. The effects of delamination position along the beam
height, material non-linearity and delamination length on delamination
behaviour are evaluated. The results obtained in the present study are
benefit to structural design of multilayered three-point bending beams
exhibiting material non-linearity.

SAINT-VENANT TORSION OF A FUNCTIONALLY GRADED CIRCULAR BAR WITH A RADIAL SLIT A. Baksa Institute of Applied Mechanics, University of Miskolc, Hungary
An analytical solution of Saint-Venant's torsion for circular bar with a slit extending in radial direction from the boundary to the axis of bar is presented. The material of the bar is non-homogeneous, isotropic linearly elastic. The shear modulus of the bar is a smooth function of the radial coordinate. This type of the material inhomogeneity is called functionally graded material. The shear modulus as a function of radial coordinate is assumed to be described by a power law function. For arbitrary value of power law index the solution in closed form is obtained for the Prandtl's stress function, shearing stresses, torsion function and torsional rigidity. Results of the presented analytical method are compared with FEM solution.
