The development of new techniques for the dynamic measurement of linear viscoelastic properties is an active area of rheometry, and this paper surveys some novel deformation geometries which have been recently reported e.g. oscillating probe-type devices which are imbedded in or placed on the surface of the sample. Small amplitude band-limited pseudorandom noise is used for the displacement signal, with Fourier analysis of the complex waveform of the resistance force yielding the frequency dependent viscoelastic material functions (e.g. storage and loss moduli G", G"). Theoretical calculations of the fundamental equations relating force to displacement and instrument geometry, were carried out with the aid of the correspondence principle of linear viscoelasticity. The rapidity of the tests and flexibility in terms of sample preparation and stiffness mean that this basic technique should find many applications in rheometry. Three examples of oscillatory tests are presented in detail squeeze flow, imbedded needle and concentric sliding cylinder geometries.eometries.

The present study examines the micro-pattern replication on a plastic film using ultrasonic imprinting. Ultrasonic imprinting uses ultrasonic waves to generate repetitive microscale deformation in the polymer film. The resulting deformation heat on the surface of the film causes the surface region to soften sufficiently so that a replication of the micro-pattern can be obtained. To successfully replicate the micro-pattern on a large area of polymer film, a high replication ratio is needed as well as good uniformity over the entire region. In this study, a horn design is investigated by finite element analysis and is optimized through a response surface analysis. In the ultrasonic imprinting experiments, the response surface method was also used to determine the optimal processing conditions for better replication characteristics.

Weatherstrip seals protect passengers form noise, dust, rain and wind out of the vehicle. The more contact area between a body frame and a weatherstrip, the higher efficiency of sealing. A weatherstrip is a sort of an elastomer. Mechanical properties of the weatherstrip is obtained by uniaxial tension test. In this study, nonlinear finite element(FE) analysis is performed to obtain displacements and contact shapes of the weatherstrip. The FE model is developed by using Ogden-foam formulation. In the results of nonlinear FE analysis, the most valuable deformation of the weatherstrip occurred when displacement control value reaches 7.2mm. Severe deformation is observed as the displacement control value become more increased.

The study is concerned with an analysis on the hydrofilm extrusion through conical dies. The upper bound method is adopted for the analysis of metal deformation in connection with hydrodynamic lubrication theory for the lubricant in order to determine the extrusion pressure for some variables such as reduction of area, die cone angle. In the upper bound method, a kinematically admissible velocity field is found by assuming proper streamlines and applying the flow function concept to the region of plastic deformation. The effect of work hardening is incorporated approximately by calculating the strains at the exit of the die. The experiments are carried out with the commercially pure aluminium for some chosen variables at room temperature. It is shown that the theoretical predictions are in good agreement with the experimental observations.

An analytical solution has been developed for the impact response of delaminated composite plates. The analysis is based on an expansion of loads, displacements, and rotations in a Fourier series which satisfies the end boundary conditions of simply-supported. The analytical formulation adopts the Laplace transformation technique, requiring a linearization of contact deformation. In this paper, the nonlinear contact stiffness is replaced by a linearized stiffness, to provide an estimate of the additional compliance due to contact area deformation effects. It has been shown that defects such as delaminations may be modeled as spring stiffness. The change in the impact characteristics as this spring stiffness has been investigated theoretically. Predicted impact responses using analytical solution are compared with the numerical ones from the 3-D non-linear finite element model. From the results, it is shown that analytical solution was found to be reliable for predicting the impact response.

The purpose of this experiment was to see the effect of local basis weight on the local strain during changing moisture content in handsheets. The averaged strain value of the whole size of paper sheet did not give more valuable information to explain non uniform deformation in the paper sheet. The combination of intact strain measurement system KISA (Linear Image Strain Analysis) and local basis weight measurement method using a scanner made it possible to compare local basis weight with local strain to explain moisture induced paper deformation . Usually higher basis weight local area showed higher moisture induced local strain. However, the hygro-induced strain values were highly affected by the behavior of neighbor local areas. Well distributed local basis weight paper would give more uniform local strains than those of non-uniformed local basis weight paper.

Aluminum rear lower arm is designed for luxury sedan and manufactured by hollow sand casting in the present study. Here we present the relationship between local microstructure and coupon tensile test in the rear lower arm. The characteristics of the local tensile deformation are supposed to be dependent upon Si distribution and DAS (dendrite arm spacing). Si distribution affects the yield strength and DAS affects the elongation of local area in the part, respectively.

Recently, Orthotropic steel deck bridges, which have long span decks, have been regarded as one of economical as well as durable bridge types. However, Orthotropic steel deck bridge is used by a lot of welding, which may cause welding defect and deformation of connections. This kind of system happens some damages by the fatigue cracks of welding. The cross-connection of longitudinal rib and transversal rib is one of the weakest point because of the fatigue. The secondary stresses which are from the out-plane deformation of transversal rib and the torsion of longitudinal rib make the topical stress concentration phenomenon. But, it is principle that a Bulkhead Plate is not established in the domestic design standard. Therefore, it is estimated that a study for the installing of Bulkhead Plate is needed. This study with considering these circumstances proves efficiency of Bulkhead Plate and will be presented optimal design details through finite element analysis according to change the geometrical system of Bulkhead Plate and the cross-connection area of longitudinal and transversal rib

It is the objective of this study to analyze the effect of various process variables on the quality of extruded product and extrusion force for semi-solid extrusion of Al2024 with solid phase structure of globular type by the finite element method. Process variables are initial solid fraction, ram speed, semi-angle of die, and reduction in area. The results of experiment are compared with those of simulation in order to verify the usefulness of the developed finite element program. The flow and deformation of semi-solid alloy are analyzed by coupling by coupling the deformation of porous skeleton and the flow of liquid phase. It is also assumed that initial solid fraction is homogeneous.

In order to analyze the stretch forming characteristics of tailored blanks, laser welded blanks of different thickness and strength combinations were prepared and stretching tests were done. The stretching formability of laser welded blanks was reduced as increasing the deformation restraining force ($strength{\times}thickness$) ratio between two welded sheets. Weld line movement was attributed to strain concentration at weaker sheets and resulted in fracture at weaker sid, so that fracture could be predicted by the forming limit of the weak sheet. In the case of a welded blank with the similar deformation restraining force rations between two welded sheets, crack occurred at weld and its forming limit was about 15% less than the base sheet. The effects of lubrication and weld line position on stretch-ing formability were also investigated by experiments. Lower friction did not always give better formability for tailored blanks. Stretching formability was observed to be improved as increasing the area of weak sheet.
