RaDIATE Collaboration Thermal shock studies

As next-generation accelerator target facilities (High Energy Physics, Spallation Sources, ... ) become increasingly more powerful and intense, high power target systems face key technical challenges, such as radiation damage and thermal shock. Those ultimately degrade the performance and lifetime of targets and have been identified as the leading cross-cutting challenges of high-power target facilities. In order to operate reliable beam-intercepting devices in the framework of energy and intensity increase for next generation accelerators, the RaDIATE Collaboration (Radiation Damage In Accelerator Target Environment), established in 2012 and managed by Fermilab, brings together existing expertise in nuclear material and accelerator targets from 20 international institutions, including CERN, to execute a coordinated strategy for high power targetry R&D. In this context, several thermal shock studies were performed at CERN's HiRadMat (High-Radiation to Materials) facility, that took a key step towards improving our knowledge on target damage tolerance. The first experiment HRMT-24, supported by EURCARD2 and completed in 2015, successfully validated the Johnson-Cook strength model developed at SwRI on beryllium S200FH (used for beam window material), providing a better confidence in simulating the thermal shock response of current and future S200FH beryllium components. HRMT-43, supported by ARIES and completed in 2018, tested various materials (Be, C, SiC, Si, Ti and ceramic nanofiber). It was a first and unique test which included pre-irradiated specimens from high energy proton beam irradiation to identify thermal shock response differences between non-irradiated and previously irradiated materials. Real-time measurement of dynamic thermomechanical response of graphite helped to benchmark numerical simulations.

Impact Cratering Calculations

We examined the von Mises and Mohr-Coulomb strength models with and without damage effects and developed a model for dilatancy. The models and results are given in O'Keefe et al. We found that by incorporating damage into the models that we could in a single integrated impact calculation, starting with the bolide in the atmosphere produce final crater profiles having the major features found in the field measurements. These features included a central uplift, an inner ring, circular terracing and faulting. This was accomplished with undamaged surface strengths of approximately 0.1 GPa and at depth strengths of approximately 1.0 GPa. We modeled the damage in geologic materials using a phenomenological approach, which coupled the Johnson-Cook damage model with the CTH code geologic strength model. The objective here was not to determine the distribution of fragment sizes, but rather to determine the effect of brecciated and comminuted material on the crater evolution, fault production, ejecta distribution, and final crater morphology.

Impact and Penetration of Thin Aluminum 2024 Flat Panels at Oblique Angles of Incidence

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are actively involved in improving the predictive capabilities of transient finite element computational methods for application to safety issues involving unintended impacts on aircraft and aircraft engine structures. One aspect of this work involves the development of an improved deformation and failure model for metallic materials, known as the Tabulated Johnson-Cook model, or MAT224, which has been implemented in the LS-DYNA commercial transient finite element analysis code (LSTC Corp., Livermore, CA) (Ref. 1). In this model the yield stress is a function of strain, strain rate and temperature and the plastic failure strain is a function of the state of stress, temperature and strain rate. The failure criterion is based on the accumulation of plastic strain in an element. The model also incorporates a regularization scheme to account for the dependency of plastic failure strain on mesh size. For a given material the model requires a significant amount of testing to determine the yield stress and failure strain as a function of the three-dimensional state of stress, strain rate and temperature. In addition, experiments are required to validate the model. Currently the model has been developed for Aluminum 2024 and validated against a series of ballistic impact tests on flat plates of various thicknesses (Refs. 1 to 3). Full development of the model for Titanium 6Al-4V is being completed, and mechanical testing for Inconel 718 has begun. The validation testing for the models involves ballistic impact tests using cylindrical projectiles impacting flat plates at a normal incidence (Ref. 2). By varying the thickness of the plates, different stress states and resulting failure modes are induced, providing a range of conditions over which the model can be validated. The objective of the study reported here was to provide experimental data to evaluate the model under more extreme conditions, using a projectile with a more complex shape and sharp contacts, impacting flat panels at oblique angles of incidence.

A Realistic Full-Scale 3D Modeling of Turning Using Coupled Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics and Finite Element Method for Predicting Cutting Forces

Computational modelling is an effective technique for understanding the complex physics of machining. Large deformations, material separation, and high computational requirements are the key challenges faced while simulating machining. This work introduces a full-scale three-dimensional model of turning operations using a combined approach based on the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) and Finite Element (FE) methods. By exploiting the advantages of each method, this approach leads to high-fidelity coupled SPH-FE machining models. Cutting forces and chip morphology are the primary results of interest. The machining models are validated with the results of turning experiments. Two-dimensional machining model underpredicts the cutting force and feed force by approximately 49% and 70%, respectively. Moreover, passive force cannot be predicted using the two-dimensional model. On the other hand, with the three-dimensional models developed in this manuscript, the difference between the total simulated force and experimentally measured force is ∼17%. The chip morphologies correlate with experiments in terms of the direction of the chip movement and the “long” continuous chips observed while turning Al 6061. This work expands the realm of machining simulations from two-dimensional orthogonal machining or sectional three-dimensional model to a full-scale realistic simulation. The encouraging simulation results show the potential to study more complex phenomena, such as machining stability and tool path modulation.

Variables Affecting Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics Simulation of High-Velocity Flyer Plate Impact Experiments

This paper describes our work to characterize the variables affecting the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method in the LS-DYNA package for simulating high-velocity flyer plate impact experiments. LS-DYNA simulations are compared with one-dimensional experimental data of an oxygen-free high-conductivity (OFHC) copper flyer plate impacting another plate of the same material. The comparison is made by measuring the velocity of a point on the back surface of the impact plate using the velocity interferometer system for any reflector (VISAR) technique.
