Thermal elastoplastic structural analysis of non-metallic thermal protection systems

An incremental theory and numerical procedure to analyze a three-dimensional thermoelastoplastic structure subjected to high temperature, surface heat flux, and volume heat supply as well as mechanical loadings are presented. Heat conduction equations and equilibrium equations are derived by assuming a specific form of incremental free energy, entropy, stresses and heat flux together with the first and second laws of thermodynamics, von Mises yield criteria and Prandtl-Reuss flow rule. The finite element discretization using the linear isotropic three-dimensional element for the space domain and a difference operator corresponding to a linear variation of temperature within a small time increment for the time domain lead to systematic solutions of temperature distribution and displacement and stress fields. Various boundary conditions such as insulated surfaces and convection through uninsulated surface can be easily treated. To demonstrate effectiveness of the present formulation a number of example problems are presented.

The yield criterion of laminated media.

This study examines the yield criteria for anisotropic laminated media. It will be shown that for laminated media with isotropic layers, the criterion of Tsai and Wu is a direct extension of Von Mises'. Also presented here is a set of equations governing the relative positions of the yield ellipses. Furthermore, a general expression for the yield condition of a laminated medium composed of generally anisotropic layers is obtained.

Effect of interjet spacing on mixing of multiple coaxial jets in supersonic flow

An experimental and analytical investigation of strut-mounted, four-nozzle, downstream facing, gaseous fuel injector assembly was conducted in a Mach 4 air-stream with P = 154 psia and T sub o 520 R. Helium was used as the injectant, and the interjet spacing (S/D) was the main parameter varied. The principal data are in the form of Helium concentration profiles at seven axial stations, Mach number distributions at three axial stations and schlieren photographs of the flow field at different interjet spacings. An approximate analysis was developed based upon a linearization in the Von Mises plane, Crocco integrals for the temperature and concentrations fields and an eddy viscosity model. Good agreement with the data was achieved. It was found that, at these conditions, interjet spacing has an effect on mixing only up to S/D of approximately 2.5, with concentration of injectant becoming smaller as S/D is increased, and the Mach number downstream of the injector tends to decrease with decreasing S/D.

Investigation B: Laminar confined coaxial entrance flow with heat generation

The results of a parametric study on the entrance flow region in a gas core nuclear reactor are presented. The physical system is modeled as laminar confined, coaxial flow with heat generation in the inner fluid. The governing equations include the boundary layer approximations and the assumptions of only radial radiative transport of energy represented as an energy diffusion term. The Von Mises transformation and a zeta transformation are used to transform the equations into nonlinear nonhomogeneous convective-diffusion equations. A unique combination of forward and backward difference equations which yields accurate results at moderate computational times, is used in the numerical method. Results show that the rapidly accelerating, heat generating inner stream actually shrinks in radius as it expands axially.

Turbulent mixing of multiple co-axial gaseous fuel jets in a supersonic airstream

An experimental and analytical investigation of a strut-mounted, four-nozzle, downstream-facing, gaseous fuel-injector assembly was conducted in a Mach 4 airstream at 154 psia and 520 R. Helium was used as the injectant in order to simulate a low molecular weight fuel, and the interjet spacing (S/D) was the main parameter varied. The principal data are in the form of helium concentration profiles at seven axial stations, Mach number distributions at three axial stations, and Schlieren photographs of the flow field at different interjet spacings. An approximate analysis was developed based upon a linearization in the Von Mises plane, Crocco integrals for the temperature and concentrations fields, and an eddy viscosity model. Good agreement with the data was achieved. It was found that, at these conditions, interjet spacing has a significant effect on mixing only up to S/D of approximately 2.5, with the concentration of the injectant at a given point becoming smaller as S/D is increased.

Nonlinear theory of electron neutralization waves in ions beams with dissipation

An analytical theory of nonlinear neutralization waves generated by injection of electrons from a grid in the direction of a homogeneous ion beam of uniform velocity and infinite extension is presented. The electrons are assumed to interact with the ions through the self-consistent space charge field and by strong collective interactions, while diffusion in the pressure gradient is disregarded (zero-temperature approximation). The associated nonlinear boundary-value problem is solved in closed form by means of a von Mises transformation. It is shown that the electron gas moves into the ion space in the form of a discontinuous neutralization wave, which exhibits a periodic field structure (incomplete neutralization). This periodic wave structure is damped out by intercomponent momentum transfer - i.e., after a few relaxation lengths a quasi-neutral plasma results.

Nonlinear transient neutralization theory of ion beams with dissipation

An analytical theory of nonlinear neutralization waves generated by injection of electrons from a grid in the direction of a homogeneous ion beam of uniform velocity and infinite extension is presented. The electrons are assumed to interact with the ions through the self-consistent space charge field and by strong collective interactions. The associated nonlinear boundary-value problem is solved in closed form by means of a von Mises transformation. It is shown that the electron gas moves into the ion space in the form of a discontinuous neutralization wave. This periodic wave structure is damped out by intercomponent momentum transfer, i.e., after a few relaxation lengths a quasi-neutral beam results. The relaxation scale in space agrees with neutralization experiments of rarefied ion beams, if the collective momentum transfer between the electron and ion streams is assumed to be of the Buneman type.

Gaussian ideal impulsive loading of rigid viscoplastic plates

The response of a thin, rigid, viscoplastic plate subjected to a spatially axisymmetric Gaussian ideal impulse loading was studied analytically. The Gaussian ideal impulse distribution instantaneously imparts a Gaussian initial velocity distribution to the plate, except at the fixed boundary. The plate deforms with monotonically increasing deflections until the initial dynamic energy is completely dissipated in plastic work. The simply supported plate of uniform thickness obeys the von Mises yield criterion and a generalized constitutive equation for rigid, viscoplastic materials. For the small deflection bending response of the plate, neglecting the transverse shear stress in the yield condition and rotary inertia in the equations of dynamic equilibrium, the governing system of equations is essentially nonlinear. A proportional loading technique, known to give excellent approximations of the exact solution for the uniform load case, was used to linearize the problem and obtain analytical solution in the form of eigenvalue expansions. The linearized governing equations required the knowledge of the collapse load of the corresponding static problem.

Resizing procedure for structures under combined mechanical and thermal loading

The fully-stressed design (FSD) appears to be the most widely used approach for sizing of flight structures under strength and minimum-gage constraints. Almost all of the experience with FSD has been with structures primarily under mechanical loading as opposed to thermal loading. In this method the structural sizes are iterated with the step size, depending on the ratio of the total stress to the allowable stress. In this paper, the thermal fully-stressed design (TFSD) procedure developed for problems involving substantial thermal stress is extended to biaxial stress members using a Von Mises failure criterion. The TFSD resizing procedure for uniaxial stress is restated and the new procedure for biaxial stress members is developed. Results are presented for an application of the two procedures to size a simplified wing structure.

Gaussian step-pressure loading of rigid viscoplastic plates

The response of a thin, rigid viscoplastic plate subjected to a spatially axisymmetric Gaussian step pressure impulse loading was studied analytically. A Gaussian pressure distribution in excess of the collapse load was applied to the plate, held constant for a length of time, and then suddenly removed. The plate deforms with monotonically increasing deflections until the dynamic energy is completely dissipated in plastic work. The simply supported plate of uniform thickness obeys the von Mises yield criterion and a generalized constitutive equation for rigid viscoplastic materials. For the small deflection bending response of the plate, the governing system of equations is essentially nonlinear. Transverse shear stress is neglected in the yield condition and rotary inertia in the equations of dynamic equilibrium. A proportional loading technique, known to give excellent approximations of the exact solution for the uniform load case, was used to linearize the problem and to obtain the analytical solutions in the form of eigenvalue expansions. The effects of load concentration, of an order of magnitude change in the viscosity of the plate material, and of load duration were examined while holding the total impulse constant.

Implementation of a trapezoidal ring element in NASTRAN for elastic-plastic analysis

The explicit expressions for an elastic-plastic trapezoidal ring element are presented and implemented in NASTRAN computer program. The material is assumed to obey the von Mises' yield criterion, isotropic hardening rule and the Prandtl-Reuss flow relations. For the purpose of demonstration, two elastic-plastic problems are solved and compared with previous results. The first is a plane-strain tube under uniform internal pressure and the second, a finite-length tube loaded over part of its inner surface. A very good agreement was found in both test problems.

Comparison of elastic and elastic-plastic structural analyses for cooled turbine blade airfoils

Elastic plastic stress strain states in cooled turbine blade airfoils were calculated by three methods for the initial takeoff transient of an advanced technology aircraft engine. The three analytical methods compared were a three dimensional elastic plastic, finite element analysis, a three dimensional, elastic, finite element analysis, and a one dimensional, elastic plastic, beam theory analysis. Structural analyses were performed for eight cases involving different combinations of mechanical and thermal loading on impingement cooled airfoils with and without leading edge film cooling holes. The von Mises effective total strains at maximum takeoff computed from the elastic and elastic plastic finite element analyses agreed with 9 percent for rotating airfoils and 28 percent for stationary airfoils with the elastic results on the conservative side.

Influence of stress interaction on the behavior of off-axis unidirectional composites

The yield function for plane stress of a transversely isotropic composite lamina consisting of stiff, linearly elastic fibers and a von Mises matrix material is formulated in terms of Hill's elastic stress concentration factors and a single plastic constraint parameter. The above are subsequently evaluated on the basis of observed average lamina and constituent response for the Avco 5505 boron epoxy system. It is shown that inclusion of residual stresses in the yield function together with the incorporation of Dubey and Hillier's concept of generalized yield stress for anisotropic media in the constitutive equation correctly predicts the trends observed in experiments. The incorporation of the strong axial stress interaction necessary to predict the correct trends in the shear response is directly traced to the high residual axial stresses in the matrix induced during fabrication of the composite.

Development of high-cycle fatigue design curves for a cast aluminum alloy

Life prediction curves for rocket engine pump parts were developed from the results of high-cycle fatigue tests run on cast-aluminum specimens. Notched and smooth specimens were cyclically tested at different mean stress levels at -320 F (78 K). The notch size and mean stress enveloped the design operating conditions. Local stress computed in the groove of the notched specimen was used to represent its fatigue strength. The von Mises criterion was used to determine effective cyclic stresses. The Goodman rule was applied to determine equivalent reversed alternating stresses. The procedure permitted the notched and smooth data sets to each be described by a single curve. High-cycle fatigue life curves were provided for the stress state, mean stress, and stress concentration spanned by the data.

The factor is a linear function of the thicknesses of the parent plates attached by the fillet weld.

Two simplified procedures for predicting cyclic material response from a strain history

Simplified inelastic analysis procedures were developed at NASA Lewis and Pratt & Whitney Aircraft for predicting the stress-strain response at the critical location of a thermomechanically cycled structure. These procedures are intended primarily for use as economical structural analysis tools in the early design stages of aircraft engine hot section components where nonlinear finite-element analyses would be prohibitively expensive. Both simplified methods use as input the total strain history calculated from a linear elastic analysis. The elastic results are modified to approximate the characteristics of the inelastic cycle by incremental solution techniques. A von Mises yield criterion is used to determine the onset of active plasticity. The fundamental assumption of these methods is that the inelastic strain is local and constrained from redistribution by the surrounding elastic material.

Three-dimensional elastic-plastic finite-element analysis of fatigue crack propagation

Fatigue cracks are a major problem in designing structures subjected to cyclic loading. Cracks frequently occur in structures such as aircraft and spacecraft. The inspection intervals of many aircraft structures are based on crack-propagation lives. Therefore, improved prediction of propagation lives under flight-load conditions (variable-amplitude loading) are needed to provide more realistic design criteria for these structures. The main thrust was to develop a three-dimensional, nonlinear, elastic-plastic, finite element program capable of extending a crack and changing boundary conditions for the model under consideration. The finite-element model is composed of 8-noded (linear-strain) isoparametric elements. In the analysis, the material is assumed to be elastic-perfectly plastic. The cycle stress-strain curve for the material is shown Zienkiewicz's initial-stress method, von Mises's yield criterion, and Drucker's normality condition under small-strain assumptions are used to account for plasticity. The three-dimensional analysis is capable of extending the crack and changing boundary conditions under cyclic loading.
