Simulation of Ball Indentation Process by Elasto-Plastic Contact Analysis

탄소성 접촉 해석법을 이용한 볼 압입시험의 시뮬레이션

Computation of the elasto-plastic solution of ball indentation was carried out by the quadratic programming method. The problem was formulated as an elasto-plastic contact problem under the assumption of small displacement and small deformation and then transformed into a minimization problem. Finite element approximation resulted in a quadratic programming problem. Numerical and experimental study were done with aluminium Al 2024-T351 and commercially pure copper. The computed load-displacement curves were in good agrement with those obtained from experiments. Tabor's relationship for representative strains was also examined. Stress distributions were found to resemble closely those results available in the literature.

본 논문에서는 접촉문제를 보다 정교하게 수식화 함으로써 효율적인 볼 압입 시험 시뮬레이션 방법을 제시하고 이를 실제에 적용하여 방법의 유용성을 보이고자 한다. 아울러 실험을 병행하여 결과를 비교함으로써 해석결과의 신뢰성을 검토한다.
