1) Modeling and Design Experience:

l  Developing a finite element analysis for the press hardening considering plasticity by the phase transformation of steel (on going)

l  Investigate constitutive behavior of Transformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP)

l  Developed a new finite element formulation for the elasto-plastic strain rate potential, srp2004.

l  Developed a meso-scale simulation procedure to study the strengthening mechanism of metallic materials. The new simulation unit which simulates dislocation density pileup and transmission near the grain boundaries revealed that the high dislocation densities near the grain boundaries are responsible for the size dependent strengthening like Hall-Petch relation.

l  Stress-strain response of nanocrystalline materials by Finite Element Method based on rate-dependent crystal plasticity. Investigate grain size effect and grain spatial distribution effect on the mechanical response of nanocrystalline material by the binary plastic transformation rule. The method will be applied to study the phase transformation of shape memory alloy (cowork with Peter M. Anderson at OSU)

l  Developed crystal plasticity finite element program to optimize the deformation texture after upset of Tantalum material. Various sensitivity tests were carried out to investigate the effect of process (friction, upset speed) and material (rate sensitivity, hardening rate etc.) on the final upset texture and stress-strain response.

l  Develop novel hardening model for AZ31B magnesium alloy sheet. Unusual asymmetry in tension and compression is incorporated into the novel two-surface model. The developed constitutive equations have been implemented into finite element program.

l  Originated a process/material optimization method to reduce sheet metal springback after forming. The new constitutive equations were developed and implemented into commercial FE program ABAQUS via User Material Subroutine, UMAT/VUMAT. The new model along with non-linear hardening and non-quadratic yield potential showed advantages in prediction capability in the automotive industry.

l  Developed combination type isotropic-kinematic hardening model to better predict the cyclic behavior of light-weight sheet materials such as aluminum alloys and high strength dual-phase steel. The developed constitutive equations were mathematically formulated and implemented into FE program.

l  Conducted a series of FEA simulations to improve crashworthiness of automotive parts. These include numerical sensitivity study on both material and process parameters.

l  Conducted thermo-mechanical FE simulations to reduce the bowing phenomenon in production of thin LCD glass. Visco-elastic constitutive equations were implemented into static FEM program and sensitivity tests were performed for the speed of inflow glass melt, upwind speed, speed of side roller etc.

l  Introduced anisotropic visco-elasticity to design high stiffness fiber reinforced composite C-shaped ring. The analytical and numerical modeling techniques were developed to design the medical device for the fixation of broken or abnormal bone.

l  Developed robust contact algorithm to reduce computational expense in simulation of sheet metal forming. The research oriented FE code SHEET-3 originally developed at OSU was modified to include more capabilities such as draw bead, general tool surfaces etc.

 

2) Materials and Metallurgical Experience:

l  Room temperature cyclic tension/compression tests and drawbend springback tests for AZ31B magnesium alloy sheets.

l  Studied the microstructural response of BCC metals after tensile deformation using fine scale Orientation Image Microscopy (OIM) experiments which can capture the evolution of lattice curvature. Tensile tests, and rolling tests were conducted for mechanical properties. Co-worked with BYU (research group of Brent L. Adams)

l  Conducted time independent/dependent springback tests (the OSU draw-bend tests, in R.H. Wagoner group) to study the springback phenomenon of several automotive sheets such as aluminum alloy and high strength steels.

l  Developed a new tension/compression test device to prevent buckling during the compressive test of thin sheet metals. Performed cyclic tests using this device and characterized the unloading and reverse loading behavior of thin aluminum alloy, magnesium alloys and DP-Steel sheets.

l  Conducted bending test of fiber reinforced composite C-ring. The results showed better prediction capability when the material is modeled with anisotropic visco-elasticity.

l  Fabricated fiber reinforced composites including uni-axial laminates and 3-dimensional multi-axial braided structure. The mechanical properties of highly non-linear polymeric material were measured and utilized for a novel constitutive equations.
