A three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis model is presented to study mixed-mode interfacial delamination for a pull-off test consisting of a thin film strip debonded from a glass substrate. Since the strain energy release rates of all three modes (Mode I, Mode II, and Mode III) and the mode mixities vary along the width of the debond front, prediction of the in-situ shape of the debond front remains an interesting and challenging topic. A cohesive zone model is incorporated into the three-dimensional finite element model to predict the interfacial crack propagation profile for the film deformation regime ranging from bending plate to stretching membrane. This three-dimensional finite element model is found to provide additional insights for interfacial delamination for the pull-off test.

Abstract A finite element model was developed to simulate the tire-rim interface. Elastomers were modeled by nonlinear incompressible elements, whereas plies were simulated by cord-rubber composite elements. Gap elements were used to simulate the opening between tire and rim at zero inflation pressure. This opening closed when the inflation pressure was increased gradually. The predicted distribution of contact pressure at the tire-rim interface agreed very well with the available experimental measurements. Several variations of the tire-rim interference fit were analyzed.

Torsional Analysis

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) beam finite element model was developed to investigate the torsional stiffness of a twisted steel-reinforced cord-rubber belt structure. The present 3D beam element takes into account the coupled extension, bending, and twisting deformations characteristic of the complex behavior of cord-rubber composite structures. The extension-twisting coupling due to the twisted nature of the cords was also considered in the finite element model. The results of torsional stiffness obtained from the finite element analysis for twisted cords and the two-ply steel cord-rubber belt structure are compared to the experimental data and other alternate solutions available in the literature. The effects of cord orientation, anisotropy, and rubber core surrounding the twisted cords on the torsional stiffness properties are presented and discussed.
