Ce travail consiste à étudier par simulation le phénomène du retour élastique dans le procédé d’emboutissage des tôles métalliques. Un modèle phénoménologique d’élasto-plasticité, incluant deux modèles d’écrouissage combiné, a été implanté dans le code d’éléments finis ABAQUS/Standard, via la routine UMAT, suivant un schéma d’intégration implicite....
The demand for increasing productivity when machining heat resistant alloys has resulted in the use of new tool materials such as cubic boron nitride (CBN) or ceramics. However, CBN tools are mostly used by the automotive industry in hard turning, and the wear of those tools is not sufficiently known in aerospace materials. In addition, the grade o...
In this work, a new physically stabilized and locking-free formulation of the SHB8PS element is presented. This is a solid-shell element based on a purely 3D formulation. It has eight nodes as well as five integration points, all distributed along the “thickness” direction. Consequently, it can be used for the modeling of thin structures, while pro...
The development of a relevant constitutive model adapted to sheet metal forming simulations requires an accurate description of the most important sources of anisotropy, i.e. the slip processes, the intragranular substructure changes and the texture development. During plastic deformation of thin metallic sheets, strain-path changes often occur in ...
In this paper, an extended version of Biot's differential equation is considered in order to discuss the quasi-static stability of a response for a solid in the framework of generalized standard materials. The same equation also holds for gradient theories since the gradients of arbitrary order of the state variables and of their rates can be intro...
In this study, the formulation of the SHB8PS solid-shell element is reviewed in order to eliminate some persistent membrane and shear locking phenomena. The resulting physically stabilized and locking-free finite element consists in a continuum mechanics shell element based on a purely three-dimensional formulation. In fact, this is a hexahedral el...
Based on the weakest link concept, a probabilistic approach in high-cycle multiaxial fatigue is developed to predict, for a given number of cycles, the probability distribution of the fatigue strength for metallic structural components. A three-parameter Weibull distribution is combined with the energy-based and volumetric high-cycle multiaxial fat...
This paper aims at studying the role of sketching in car styling. Prior studies have shown that sketches play a major role in the early phases of design. A definition of the intermediate representations and mental representations will enable a better understanding of how sketches are produced. Two distinct experiments are proposed: a series of inte...
La striction et la rupture au cours de l’opération d’emboutissage figurent parmi les principaux phénomènes limitant les déformations maximales admises par les métaux. Ces phénomènes sont liés à la microstructure des matériaux ainsi qu’aux conditions de sollicitation. Afin de caractériser l’aptitude au formage d’un matériau, et ce pour différents mo...
Largely applied to internal threading of extruded tubes, cold form tapping is now becoming a promising process for internal threading of holes in non ferrous and ferrous solid components, more particularly for mass production in the automotive industry. The aim of this study is to present the surface properties of the threads resulting from form ta...
