Modeling and calculating welding structures on the base of applied programs use

 

The analysis of existing calculations of solidity of the elements of mechanized mining complex shows that they are mainly based on the semi imperial formulas, introduced in tabulating form or on the traditional calculating schemes of resistance of materials. At the same time during the last years the concept “The Fitness For Purpose” has gained the serious recognition, in its frame the procedure of analysis was suggested, based on the combination of standard material test and numerical computation with engaging contemporary approaches of mechanic deformation and destruction. That’s why the problem of creation of modern welding metal constructions, meeting the requirements of exploitation, is closely connected with the development of précised methods of calculation.

At the heart of the creation of new system methods of calculation  of metal construction support a block-hierarchical approach is put. According to the position in the hierarchy of description mathematical models are divided into models relating to micro-, macro- and meta-levels (figure 1) [1].

The totality of factors of interactions between mechanized mining complex and mining rock is examined. The analysis of these factors is fulfilled according to the chosen calculating schemes and life measurements.

On macro- and micro- level the analysis of tension deformation status of elements and components of metal constructions of the mechanized mining complex is conducted. Constructional accordance of the real product and its model is fulfilled on the base of the use of analysis calculus of approximation. The calculation of the technological factors is done on the base of the description of the real geometry of weld (with cold weld, constructional flaws and etc) and registration of residual tension and warping. In the relevant methodology of engineering the calculation of data isn’t reflected. The use of the methods of micro-modeling let solve this task. At the same time three-dimensional model (3D-KA- model) is used for the analysis of tension deformation status (TDS) of metal construction as a whole, and two-dimensional model (2D-KA-model) is used for the estimating on the micro-level the strength of weld with the calculation of faults and technological factors.

Different types of the analysis of one-dimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional structural models require special numerical methodology and computer algorithm. The solving more complicated tasks make approach more exigently to the choice of CAE – computer aided engineering, which is necessary for applying computer analysis [2].

The program ANSYS is the program, which main aim is to fulfill practically any analysis with the help of the method of resulting elements. Today many leading world corporations consider necessarily to have the program supplying by  firm ANSYS. Powerful functional capability of CAE , the system of  ANSYS, let apply it for solving solidity tasks such as to define the residual and operating tension and deformation during the calculation of the strength of the metal constructions. The peculiarity of the program is file compatibility for all members of ANSYS family for all used platforms.

The facilities of the analysis and optimization of the program are easily moved to the models, created by the systems of preparation of engineering documents (CAD) due to the use of format IGES and STEP for consignment of geometry or appropriate interface of the leading CAD – systems such as CATIA, AutoCAD and etc.

For the viewing the results two postprocessors of program ANSYS can be used. The general postprocessor is used for the analysis of the results one step of the solving and provides getting line level, the picture of deformation condition, the list of results, estimation of errors of calculation, carrying out the calculation on  the base of  received data and so on. The postprocessor of the process of loading is used for reviewing  the results in specified points of rated model at every step of the solution, one can get the graphics of the results as the function of time so the frequency, the listing of the results, fulfill the arithmetic and algebraic calculation.

The structure of file organization of ANSYS is given in figure 2.

For the enhancement of the methods of the analysis of weld it’s necessary to have exact data about the tension and deformation in the section of junction in different geometrical connections and applied loading. The correct understanding of forms and size of the plastic zone, of the density of deformation in it and of the evolution of these quantities in the process of growing of external loading let define the laws of appearing and further development of the flaw in the zone of thermal influence of weld processes. The use of numerical methods and powerful calculating means have given the opportunity to get the distinct boarder, separating plastic zone, besides tension-deformed state. The growth of the size of the plastic zone before the top of the flaw leads to the necessity of changing the linear mechanic of destruction to non-linear.

   Let’s examine the distribution of tensions and plastic deformation in the section of corner weld during  the static loading, close to limit. The investigation of regularities of elastic plastic deformation of welds was conducted on the base of MKA. The model of the theory with the condition of fluctuating Miezes at bilinear law of strengthening was used. The present model has mainly been used for heavily deformed isotropic materials. In figure 3  the calculated scheme and main geometrical parameters of cross junction are given.

    In figures 4, 5 and 6 the separate results of calculating definition of this junction are given.

    Material is the steel with the following characteristics : σT = 260 MPa; E=2· 105 MPa; v=0,3; ET = 7350 MPa, where ET = parameter of strengthening non-linear area of curved deformation.

   Thicknesses S1 and   S2   were invariable and equal to 18 mm. The size of non-melting is 2a, cathetus Ky  and Kz . Two variants of conditions in the direction of axis Z were examined: 1) condition of flat tension state σz = 0; 2) condition of flat deformation εz= 0.

   Melting in these occasions was equal to H = (S1 – 2a)/2 = 6 mm. The data of figure 4 correspond to the condition εz= 0. The investigation sets that the essential role in density of tension and deformation in the top of non-melting is acted by its size in the direction of axis Y - Δ (gap). The growth of the gap Δ from 0,1 to 2 mm makes an essential influence on maximum quantity of σi and  in the top of non-melting. So  changes from 6,3% to 3,6%. At the same time average quantities of tension in the section φ = const are not changed considerably (from 346 MPa to 302 MPa).

   The following analysis let specify that in sections φ= const the distribution of tension is far away from equal at φ < π/3. However as early as φ > π/3 this unevenness considerably decreases which is connected with intensive plastic current in these sections. Volumetric tension state in the condition of flat deformation suggests the constrainness of plastic current, that explains essential difference in density of σi and  in the comparing variants. As the consequence of this at flat tension state there is the increase of σi and especially of  .

    The data of figures 5 and 6 illustrate the influence of change of geometrical parameters of 2a, Kx, Ky on the quantities σi and . It can be seen that the decrease of non-melting of 2a from 12 to 4 mm (figure5) diminishes the value of σi approximately to 32% however at the same time plastic deformations decrease considerably (at 1,9 times). The reduce of the cathetus of the weld from 20 to 10 mm (figure 6) increases sharply σi and  till the meaning at which the solidity is unreal. The decrease of the attitude Kx/Ky  at the same sectional area of roller reduces meanings of σi and .

    Consequently the following conclusion can be made:

1.     At loading welding conjunctions with fillet welds by static load at the cross section appears the volumetric tension state with the longitudinal tensions σz .

2.     The essential influence on the concentration of elastic plastical tensions and deformations in the top of non-melting is made by size Δ. At the same time average meanings σi and   practically don’t change outside this area.

3.     The degree of coincidence of given facts let extend accepted conditions from the calculation for further investigations.
