mesh type

Submitted by aslan ahadi on

Hi

i am trying to simulate hot compression behaviour of a titanium alloy. in this investigation i consider this material as strain rate and temperature dependent. also i consider all kind of heat transfer like conduction between cylinder and Die also cylinder and enviroment.

can any body help me in detailed, that what kind of mesh is the most appropriate one for this analysis.(Reduction in height is 50%)

Crack tip stress and formation of Plastic/influence zone for composite solid rocket propellants

The necessity to understand the crack behaviour of composite solid rocket propellants as it helps in analysis of service life of rocket motors. Experimental data reveals that a material’s microstructure at the crack tip can have a significant effect on the local damage near the crack tip and crack growth behaviour in particulate composites.
