Thermo-mechanically coupled sliding contact shakedown analysis of functionally graded coating-substrate structures

Peilin Fu et al.

Summary: The study shows that friction heat can decrease the elastic shakedown limit and elastic limit, with increasing sliding velocity enhancing this decrease. Friction heat can also lead to an increase in residual tensile stress near the surface and a weakening of residual compressive stress further from the surface. The temperature dependence of friction coefficient can increase the elastic shakedown limit and elastic limit.

Dongming Li et al.

Summary: This study proposes a new method to design and optimize the topology of thin-walled tubes filled with lattice structures. The research finds that the cross-sectional configuration and lattice filling distribution have different effects on the crashworthiness of hybrid structures.

Danial Molavitabrizi et al.

Summary: The mechanical behavior of additively manufactured lattice materials under uniaxial and multiaxial tension is investigated in this study. A generic elastoplastic homogenization scheme with a continuum damage model is developed to analyze three different lattice materials under different tension conditions. The influence of micro-architecture on the material's failure behavior and macroscopic mechanical performance is thoroughly discussed. Experimental validation and numerical predictions show that the developed scheme can accurately predict the mechanical and failure behavior of a given lattice material.
