Its goal is to combine LS-DYNA and the open-source CFD solver OpenFOAM to simulate the production process of continuous fiber-reinforced plastics, particularly the resin-transfer-molding (RTM) process, in which the layers of dry fabric (unidirectional or woven) are formed in the mold (draping) and then filled with liquid resin with high pressure at injection points. Through a combined analysis of both the structural mechanical and the fluid dynamical phases, a better prediction and thereby optimization of the textile components properties as well as injection points can be achieved, improving the manufacturing process. The draping simulation of the fabric layers is carried out with LS-DYNA, while the injection simulation of the matrix material is performed in full 3D with OpenFOAM. A key question in this research project is how local porosities can be derived from the structural computation in the draping step. The purpose of the presented subproject is to develop a graphical user interface (GUI) to enable the simulation of the entire RTM process of long-fiber-reinforced components including the transfer of results between the draping and injection phases. The complete simulation task is relatively complex and involves several software packages, meaning a high effort for the user to get familiarized with. To circumvent this, the GUI aims at requiring from the user only the minimum necessary input data, creating and running the simulation and mapping tasks in the background, and showing graphically all demanded intermediate and final results. For the draping step several current fabric materials such as *MAT_034, *MAT_234, *MAT_235, *MAT_249 are available. Several modelling techniques for the composite setup are also conceivable, including a workflow similar to metal forming applications. In the injection step the fabric is modelled as a porous medium and different transport models and liquid resin types are at hand. For the data transfer between the draping and injection models, i.e. the mapping of data between shell and volume meshes within the developed GUI, first the OpenFOAM volume mesh is converted to LS-DYNA format and the necessary passing parameters are extracted from the output files, then the mapping tool DYNAmap [3] from DYNAmore GmbH is invoked, and finally the OpenFOAM command files are created. After the injection simulation is started and successfully terminated, information, such as the distribution of air inclusions or the shear stress distribution to analyze the reorientation of component fibers, is available and can be transferred from the 3D fluid mesh to an LS-DYNA shell mesh for further computations, for instance a crash simulation. This backward data mapping between volume and shell meshes can then be performed inside the GUI.

A1 - Wagner, Marcus T1 - Simulation of Fluid-Structure Interaction between injection medium and balloon catheter using ICFD T2 - 11th European LS-DYNA Conference 2017, 9 - 11 May, Salzburg, Austria N2 - Arteriosclerosis is a major health issue worldwide. While it is commonly treated by the implantation of an balloon-expandable stent, micro injuries may occur during stent deployment, and induce in-stent restenosis, whose consequence can be fatal. Studying this undesirable phenomenon is usually limited as experimental data is hard to obtain on ethical ground. Numerical simulation are performed to better understand this problem. To construct a more realistic simulation of a balloon-expandable stent, a partitioned strongly-coupled FSI simulation of the balloon deployment was set up using the ICFD solver of LS-DYNA, - a quite innovative approach. The complex balloon configuration as well as the interaction of the injection medium and the balloon structure was considered. The balloon structure consisting of shell elements was obtained from preliminary balloon folding and pleating simulations. The balloon consists of a flexible thin walled polyamide. The injection fluid is implemented using volume elements. Balloon deployment was initiated by a pressure boundary condition inducing a volume flow into the balloon. The initial feasibility analysis showed promising result including a continuous balloon deployment and a reasonable development of the fluid pressure and velocity field. However, applying this FSI approach to a more complex balloon structure led to a non convergent solution. The non-convergence could be mainly reduced to mechanical factors including the low wall thickness of the balloon (< 0.05 mm) and the flexibility of the polyamide. Further, the ICFD solver shows less accuracy concerning the FSI conditions when dealing with thin flexible structures as well as enclosed volumes. A shell thickness of 0.06 mm is believed to result in a convergent solution.

T1 - On the importance of modeling balloon folding, pleating, and stent crimping: An FE study comparing experimental inflation tests JF - International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering N2 - Finite element (FE)–based studies of preoperative processes such as folding,pleating, and stent crimping with a comparison with experimental inflation tests are not yet available. Therefore, a novel workflow is presented in which residual stresses of balloon folding and pleating, as well as stent crimping, and the geometries of all contact partners were ultimately implemented in an FE code to simulate stent expansion by using an implicit solver. The numerical results demonstrate that the incorporation of residual stresses and strains experienced during the production step significantly increased the accuracy of the subsequent simulations, especially of the stent expansion model. During the preoperative processes, stresses inside the membrane and the stent material also reached a rather high level. Hence, there can be no presumption that balloon catheters or stents are undamaged before the actual surgery. The implementation of the realistic geometry, in particular the balloon tapers, and the blades of the process devices improved the simulation of the expansion mech-anisms, such as dogboning, concave bending, or overexpansion of stent cells. This study shows that implicit solvers are able to precisely simulate the mentioned preoperative processes and the stent expansion procedure without a preceding manipulation of the simulation time or physical mass.

Therefore the laser-transmission welding process is used to join thermoplastic polymers in visible regions. The clamping force in this case plays a decisive role when it comes to the weld quality. Simulating the clamping pressure with finite element techniques is therefore highly attractive to understand the principal of the process. Thermoplastic polymers under tensile load often show a brittle behavior coupled with softening. Simulating such materials is quite difficult for FEM programs. In this case a finite element study of the tensile test in LS-DYNA and ANSYS Wb 14 with respect to the material models was analysed. The experimental data get validated in comparison with the FEM solution for a tensile test. The material models and the problems in simulating softening behavior for thermoplastic polymers were discussed Y1 - 2012 UR - https://www.oth-regensburg.de/fileadmin/media/fakultaeten/m/labore/FEM/pdf/fb-2012_paper_acum.pdf N1 - DVD-ROM SP - 1 EP - 10 CY - Grafing bei München ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Wagner, Marcus A1 - Pinsky, Peter M.

Typically, such partial field solutions include, for example, surfaces enclosing the radiating structure or even single points in the computational domain. The multiple-frequency partial-field (MFPF) method starts out by reformulating the finite element matrix system into a suitable shifted form. The DtN map is used as a radiation boundary condition and is interpreted as a low rank update of the matrix problem. The shifted standard form is then approximated by a rational matrix-valued Padé approximant and solved simultaneously over a frequency range. To obtain the Padé approximation, a banded unsymmetric Lanczos process is applied on the standard shifted form exploiting the matrix Padé-via-Lanczos connection. Numerical examples show the feasibility of the outlined procedure.

LS-DYNA Forum, 9. - 10. Oktober 2012, Ulm N2 - Structural mechanic properties of fiber reinforced plastics depend on the single components’ properties, namely matrix and fiber [5]. Simple micromechanic homogenization theories reach a limit when a laminate consists of fabric reinforced layers instead of unidirectional layers. The ondulations of warp and fill yarn caused by the textile semi-finished product are the reason why the mesoscopic scale, which is in between the microscopic and the macroscopic scale, has to be taken into account when mechanically characterizing fabric reinforced composites [3]. In this scale a mesomechanic kinematic can be derived analytically. Especially, when considering free damped vibrations of structures the repeated acting of the kinematic correlation significantly affects the damping behaviour to higher values compared to theoretically predicted damping ratios. The model is investigated using Finite-Element-Analyses and basically validated experimentally.

To prevent vibrations, which occur by sudden acceleration or stopping of those masses, elastomeric tubular dampers [1] are used. The dampers are made out of carbon filled elastomers. A good knowledge about the material behaviour of metals is available. But for the numerical investigation of complete deep-drawing dies the elastomeric dampers must be taken into account, too. To characterize the material behaviour of the elastomers tensile tests and pressure tests were carried out. The received material data from the tests were read into LS-DYNA [2]. Simulation models of the tensile test and the pressure test were created for LS-DYNA according to the real dimensions and boundary conditions. For validation purposes, calculations of loading cycles were done to enable a comparison between test data and simulation results. For the calculations the implemented material model *MAT_SIMPLIFIED_RUBBER_WITH_DAMAGE (*MAT_183) was used. The comparison shows a good fitting between the test data and the calculation results with respect to the mechanical material behaviour by using this material model in single loading cases. The settings from the simulations of material tests were transferred to simulations of dampers, which are used in deep-drawing dies.

The limits of applicability of the shell elements are sometimes disregarded, which leads to an error in predictions of important values such as springback geometry. The underlying kinematic assumptions of the shell elements do not hold where the thickness of In the metal sheet approaches the value of the radius of curvature. Complex three-dimensional material behavior effects cannot be represented precisely as the result of the simplified kinematics. Here we present a model adaptivity scheme based on a model error indicator. The model-adaptive technique presented in this paper aides to resolve only the critical areas of the structure with a three-dimensional discretization while keeping reasonable computational cost by utilizing shell elements for the rest of the structure. The model error indicator serves as a guide for subsequent automatic adaptive re-meshing of the work-piece followed by a model-adaptive finite element analysis. The accuracy of the approximation obtained by the model-adaptive technique coincides well with that of a more expensive solution obtained with solid elements only.
