About shot peening, I know realize that you have quite thin material. In my line of work 0,4 mm would be considered as foil... got confused by the imperial measures. Maybe try glass bead blasting which will give you residual stresses but not deform the surface too much. Residual stresses will...
continuing on the paranthesis in the previous post. Surface condition is extremly important here do not forget to shot peen the spring to make sure you have negative compressive stresses in the surface.
good luck
By accident i found a GNU program that could do what I´ve always wanted Excel to do, RLplot (http://rlplot.sourceforge.net/)can do nice looking plots with log-log scale with major units of 10,20,30 and minor ticks at 11,12 etc. and many other things. The program for windows is a single binary...
I don´t have any solution and I´ve tried many of the other plot programs on the market and only ORIGIN can do a half decent plot with a logritmic axis where the scale is say 40 to 70 with labels for 40, 50 , 60 and 70...
This is very annoying especially when dealing with e.g. fatigu e data. You...
Thanks for replying MToft. After thinking about my problem for a while I´ve found that I don´t need to model this behaviour at the moment. As usual if you let a few days pass you´ll cool down and go back to reality....
My experience based on my companys data from grey Iron (tons and tons of...
Is there anyone that has experiences of modelling cast iron (grey Iron) in ABAQUS. I´m thinking of the phenomena with different elastic plastic behaviour in compression and tension. ?
