The present work focuses on the effect of pre-strain on the forming limit curves (FLCs) of aluminium alloy 5052 sheet of 2.5 mm thickness using cruciform samples. To identify the effect of pre-strain on the FLC, the finite element simulations are performed on cruciform samples. The cruciform samples are deformed to a small level of pre-strain in different strain paths. Thereafter, the further deformation under the various strain paths to measure the effect of pre-strain on the forming limits are carried out. Pre-strain in uniaxial, plane strain and biaxial loading conditions are considered in this work. For each case, i.e., uniaxial, plane strain and biaxial conditions two pre-strain conditions are considered. The cruciform samples are carefully thinned in the central region to promote development of large plastic strains there and eventually to neck and fail. The output obtained through simulations are presented in terms of forming limit curves for various strain paths.

Among the various factors, the accuracy of the predictions from the numerical simulation of sheet metal forming processes depends on the material model used to define the mechanical behavior of the blank material. The coefficients of the hardening model to define the flow curve and the plastic strain ratios are commonly determined using the uniaxial tensile tests. The advanced anisotropic yield criteria incorporate material flow behaviour and plastic strain ratio in equi-biaxial tension. In this work, deep drawing of a flat bottom cylindrical cup has been simulated using dual-phase steel (DP600) sheets. The biaxial material properties obtained by conducting hydraulic bulge test and cruciform specimen test are used in the anisotropic yield criteria in the simulations. The hardening curves are extrapolated using different hardening laws in which the coefficients are determined from the stress-strain curves obtained from both uniaxial tensile and hydraulic bulge tests. The predicted peak drawing load and thickness variation in the drawn cups are compared with the experimental results of deep drawing.

The ductile fracture behaviours of two tubular specimens, a AA6260-T4 macrotube (60 mm diameter and 2 mm thickness), and a SS-304L microtube (2.38 mm diameter and 0.15 mm thickness) under non-proportional loading condition are studied using a combined experimental-numerical approach. The experiments are conducted by loading the tubes under axial force and internal pressure along various non-proportional (i.e., corner) paths until failure by controlling the force/pressure ratio. The plastic behaviours of the tubes are characterized using the non-quadratic anisotropic yield criteria Yld2000-2D and Yld2004-3D. The material models are employed in the finite element (FE) simulation of the tube experiments using Abaqus/Standard (implicit). The FE models, which include thickness imperfection to capture the failure modes observed in the experiments, are then used to probe the fracture parameters inside the tube wall where fracture is likely to initiate. It is observed that the fracture strains from the non-proportional loading results are noticeably different when introduced to the proportional fracture strains, revealing the path-dependence fracture behaviour in tubular specimens.

Lightweight concept approach in sheet metal forming requires, among others, thickness reduction and geometry complexity. This combination dramatically promotes the wrinkling occurrence, which can be considered as one of main failure mode that toolmakers must consider. The sheet metal wrinkling determination research usually considers the wrinkling in flange and conical area of a cylindrical cup. For complex geometries the loadings are more diverse than in the deep drawing of a cylindrical cup involving shear stress states. In this context, the present work proposes the application of two different wrinkling determination methodologies in an experimental sheet metal specimen loaded by shear in an aluminum alloy. One of the methodologies involves geometrical parameters to trigger the onset of wrinkling and the other methodology is physically based and considers the evolutions of the in-plane minor strain and its strain rate. The experimental formability test requires a dedicated clamping apparatus to allow its kinematics to be similar to a tensile test. Results allowed the identification of the stress state that triggered the wrinkling occurrence, and the determination of the critical strains that allow plotting the wrinkling limit curve of the sheet material.

Cryogenic power electronic conversion (< 123 K) is expected to offer higher efficiencies for future all-electric transportation platforms. Low temperature operation of converters together with integration of wide bandgap devices (WBG) can enable higher switching frequencies with reduced filtering components. This paper briefly reviews the passive components involved in the development of a cryogenic converter. The paper also reviews in detail the converter development with WBG devices by far, and provides a discussion on benefits achieved, and challenges in terms of auxiliary components and measurements. The last part of the paper gives a discussion on envisioned challenges, and different research directions for future superconducting power conversion systems.

In various structural applications polymer composites are exposed to sub-zero and even cryogenic temperatures which may initiate of microstructural damage. To anticipate these events, one needs to understand the behavior of composites in a sub-zero environment. This study focuses on damage initiation and accumulation, and its influence on the properties of cross-ply glass fibers epoxy composites at sub-zero temperatures. The effect of bromine modification of epoxy, and the dissolution in an organic solvent on the mechanical performance of the produced composite is also investigated. To evaluate the influence of a sub-zero environment on the mechanical performance of glass fiber epoxy laminates, tensile tests in a sub-zero environment of unconditioned specimens were carried out. The quasi-static tensile tests were performed to measure the elastic modulus of the composites while loading-unloading experiments were performed to monitor the initiation (and accumulation) of microstructural damage and its influence on the stiffness of glass fiber epoxy laminates. The results of cryogenic damage and fracture in the laminates are discussed with a focus on the degradation of properties of glass fiber crucial for their use in structural applications: strength and stiffness.

Available experimental data dealing with critical heat flux (CHF) of liquid hydrogen (LH2), liquid methane (LCH4), and liquid oxygen (LO2) in pool and flow boiling are compiled. The compiled data are compared with widely used correlations. Experimental pool boiling CHF data for the aforementioned cryogens are scarce. Based on only 25 data points found in five independent sources, the correlation of Sun and Lienhard (1970) is recommended for predicting the pool CHF of LH2. Only two experiments with useful CHF data for the pool boiling of LCH4 could be found. Four different correlations including the correlation of Lurie and Noyes (1964) can predict the pool boiling CHF of LCH4 within a factor of two for more than 70% of the data. Furthermore, based on the 19 data points taken from only two available sources, the correlation of Sun and Lienhard (1970) is recommended for the prediction of pool CHF of LO2. Flow boiling CHF data for LH2 could be found in seven experimental studies, five of them from the same source. Based on the 91 data points, it is suggested that the correlation of Katto and Ohno (1984) be used to predict the flow CHF of LH2. No useful data could be found for flow boiling CHF of LCH4 or LO2. The available databases for flow boiling of LCH4 and LO2 are generally deficient in all boiling regimes. This deficiency is particularly serious with respect to flow boiling.

Advancements in electronics technology that operate at cryogenic temperature require the study of thermal properties of the materials and interfaces used to connect these systems to a source of cooling. A test facility has been developed to investigate thermal properties important to these applications, bulk conductivity and contact resistance, over the temperature range from 4 K to 40 K. Bulk conductivity tests were conducted on OFHC copper sourced from three different commercial vendors to determine the degree of variation between the commercial sources and the level of agreement with the values found in literature. Preliminary analysis found RRR values within the range of 50 to 75 for all sources examined. These results are in line with previous studies and confirm the consistency of copper conductivity regardless of the source. The contact resistance tests focus on measuring the variation of contact resistance with applied force over the range from 90 N to 161 N for gold-plated OFHC copper samples with surface roughness in the range of 1 to 2 micrometer. Results from these tests will provide insight into the significance of force on contact resistance. The results from both tests will help guide the design of heat paths in future cryogenic electronic technology.
