Inverse Identification of Constitutive Model for GH4198 Based on Genetic-Particle Swarm Algorithm.

A precise Johnson-Cook (J-C) constitutive model is the foundation for precise calculation of finite-element simulation. In order to obtain the J-C constitutive model accurately for a new cast and forged alloy GH4198, an inverse identification of J-C constitutive model was proposed based on a genetic-particle swarm algorithm. Firstly, a quasi-static tensile test at different strain rates was conducted to determine the initial yield strength , strain hardening coefficient , and work hardening exponent for the material's J-C model.

Predicting and Improving Interlaminar Bonding Uniformity during the Robotic Fiber Steering Process.

With their high specific stiffness, corrosion resistance and other characteristics, especially their outstanding performance in product weight loss, fiber-reinforced resin matrix composites are widely used in the aviation, shipbuilding and automotive fields. The difficulties in minimizing defects are an important factor in the high cost of composite material component fabrication. Fiber steering is one of the typical means of producing composite parts with increased strength or stiffness.
