Simulation of stress-strain state at the boundaries of a bimetallic composite to determine tear-off resistance

Abstract

Simulation modeling of the deformation under mechanical action on the sample workpiece of the steel-aluminum bimetallic composite material with a thin aluminum intermediate layer was performed. The stress-strain state along the boundaries of the joint at which the sample workpiece layering occurs was determined. A series of computational experiments with varying the specific work value of the layering under separation conditions was implemented. The level of stresses, leading to the separation of the bimetallic compound, is estimated using the energy criterion. The dependence of the rupture strength along the ring contour on the specific work value of the layering varied in the range of 0.1-0.2 N/mm was calculated. It was established that for the studied variants of the computational experiment, a rigid stress state with the predominance of normal tensile stresses is implemented in place of the beginning of the layering. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
