Evaluation of different approaches to 3d numerical model development of the contact zone between elementary asperities and flat surface
Journal Title: Journal of Machine Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 4
Abstract
This paper presents two triaxial finite element (FE) models: a “full model” and a “quarter model”, representing the contact between the specimen’s rough surface and the ideally smooth and flat surface of the punch. Models have a contact zone that represents the topography of the real surface and has elastoplastic properties close to those of the real contact. The contact zone was entirely modelled on the basis of roughness measurements performed on a real milled specimen made of 5083 aluminium alloy. The development of the FE models, the stages in their refinement and the interlinking of the contact zone with the material of the specimen are described. The results of the computed deformations occurring during the specimen contact loading with the punch were compared with the experimental results. The possible causes of the observed deviations of the computer simulation results from the experimental ones were discussed. The models were used to analyse the effect of the specimen’s material properties, i.e. Young’s modulus, yield strength, compressive strength and material hardening, on the deformations in the contact. On this basis a procedure for predicting the parameters describing the contact characteristic in cases of changes in the properties of the subsurface zone is proposed

INVESTIGATION OF LOCAL AND MODAL BASED ACTIVE VIBRATION CONTROL STRATEGIES ON THE EXAMPLE OF AN ELASTIC SYSTEM
Nowadays, feed axes are often equipped with multiple parallel-acting actuators in order to increase the dynamics of the machine tool. Also, additional actuators for active damping are widely used. Normally, the drives or...
LIGHTWEIGHT MACHINE ENCLOSURES FOR DYNAMIC AND EFFICIENT PRODUCTION PROCESSES
Usually machining centres for processing wood-based and composite materials have moving partial machine enclosures in the X-axis direction. Because the workpieces to be machined are often large (e.g. aircraft doors), the...
COMPLEMENTING AND ENHANCING DEFINITIONS OF LINE PROFILE COMPOSITE TOLERANCE IMPOSED BY ISO GEOMETRICAL PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
According to the ISO Geometrical Product Specifications (GPS), if two or more specifications of the same characteristic are to be indicated, they may be combined as a composite tolerance. Therefore there are no definitio...
