An Extended Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian Finite Element Modeling in Powder Forming Process

This document presents an extended arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) finite element model to simulate large deformations in powder compaction processes. The ALE formulation allows the computational mesh to move independently of the material, reducing mesh distortions. The model also uses an extended finite element method (X-FEM) with enrichment functions to approximate the displacement field of elements along material interfaces. Together, the ALE and X-FEM methods can simulate the high deformations at the die-powder boundary while taking advantages of both Lagrangian and Eulerian approaches. The model was developed to better understand powder compaction, an industrial process used to form powder materials into dense parts through applied pressure.

AN EXTENDED ARBITRARY LAGRANGIAN-

EULERIAN FINITE ELEMENT MODELING IN


POWDER FORMING PROCESS

Presented by Submitted to
Pawan Kumar Dr. R.k. Patel
(2019DN21)
Objective
• To simulate the high deformation in powder compaction at
the boundary of die and powder interface.
Powder Compaction
• It is process of compacting material powder in a die
through the application of high pressure.
ALE
• Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eularian : It is a finite
element formulation in which the computational
system is not a prior fixed in space (e.g. Eulerian-
based finite element formulations) or attached to
material (e.g. Lagrangian-based finite element
formulations).
• Need Of ALE: ALE based simulations can
eliminate many of the drawback of traditional
lagrangian-based and Euleian-based finite
element simulation have.
• ALE-based finite element formulations can
reduce to either Lagrangian-based finite element
formulations by equating mesh motion to material
motion or Eulerian-based finite element
formulations by fixing mesh in space.
• Material motion: xm = f(X, t)
• ALE motion: xg = f(X, 0)
• Mesh motion: xm = ˆf (xg, t)
• Mesh displacement : ug(xg, t) = xm − xg
• Mesh velocity: vg(xg, t) = (∂xm/∂t)|xg
• In ALE formulation, the convective velocity c is
defined using the difference between the material
and mesh velocities as:
ALE formulation the momentum equation can
• In
be written as:

where, ρ= Density
σ= Cauchy’s stress
b= Body forces
Petrov-Galerkin method
• The Petrov–Galerkin method is a mathematical method
used to obtain approximate solutions of partial differential
equations which contain terms with odd order.
• Different space for test function and solution function.
• Weak form of momentum equation:

Where: δvi= Galerkin test function


δvPG= Petrov Galerkin test function
Ω= Spatial domain
• The Petrov–Galerkin test function can be related
to nodal values using the Galerkin shape
function: Ni’=Ni+kcjNi,j.
where , Ni= Galerkin shape function.
Ni’= Petrov Galerkin shape function
• Internal nodal force can be computed in
referential domain as:

where, Ωˆ: ALE domain


• Applying the finite element discretization, the ALE
stiffness matrix can expressed as:

• In Lagrangian approach quadrature point


coincide with material point regardless of
deformation of continuum.
• In ALE approach Gauss point does not coincide
with material point.
X-FEM
• It is a numerical technique that extends the
classical finite element method (FEM) approach
by extending the solution space for solutions to
differential equations with discontinuous
functions.
• The standard FE approximation can be enriched
with additional functions by using the X-FEM.

Where, ui= classical nodal displacement


aj= Nodal dof
ψ(x)= Enrichment function
• (a): The X-FEM method is used to discretize the
intersected elements by partitioning the domain with some
triangular sub-elements.
• (b)The enrichment of displacement field is
applied to correct the standard displacement
approximation by incorporating discontinuous
fields through X-FEM method.
• The choice of enrichment function is depend on
the condition of problem.
• Applying the level set enrichment function ψ(x)
based on its nodal values as:
• strain matrix relating the increments of strain and
displacement can be written as:
• the discrete system of equations can be obtained
as;
Kd=f
where, K= Global Stiffness matrix
d= Vector of unknown of nodal point ui and aj
at nodal point.
f= External force.
Conclusion
• the extended finite element method was presented in the
framework of arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian finite element
model to simulate the large deformation in powder
compaction processes.
• The technique was applied by employing enrichment
functions to approximate the displacement field of the
elements located on the interface.
• The technique was applied to take benefits of both
Lagrangian and Eulerian approach both.
