Thermal-Mechanical Coupled Manufacturing Simulation in Heterogeneous Materials
Abstract: This work is aimed
to investigate on thermal and thermo-mechanical behaviour of 6061 Aluminium
alloy. The main target of the present investigation is to apply a numerical
procedure to assess the thermo-mechanical damage. Finite element analyses of
the notched tensile specimens at high temperature have been carried out using
ABAQUS Software. The objective was to study the combined effects of thermal and
mechanical loads on the strength and ductility of the material. The performance
of the proposed model is in general good and it is believed that the presented
results and experimental–numerical calibration procedure can be used in
practical finite-element simulation.
