Taylor Bar
A quarter model of a Taylor bar impacting a rigid wall. This model is analyzed in different ALE methods.
Bar AThis is a quarter model of a Taylor bar impacting a rigid wall. The Taylor bar is used in experiments to determine strain rate effects in metals. The input deck A is set up for a Lagrangian analysis. Elements at the bottom of the bar get highly deformed. |
Bar BThis is a quarter model of a Taylor bar impacting a rigid wall. In input deck B ALE smoothing and 1st order advection is used. During deformation process, elements at the bottom of the bar stay more well-shaped in comparison to input deck A. Calculation takes about double the time. |
Bar CThis is a quarter model of a Taylor bar impacting a rigid wall. In input deck C ALE smoothing and 2nd order advection is used. During deformation process, elements at the bottom of the bar stay more well-shaped in comparison to input deck A. Calculation takes about triple the time. |
Bar DThis is a quarter model of a Taylor bar impacting a rigid wall. In input deck D ALE smoothing and 2nd order advection is used. Calculation time is reduced by increasing the number of cycles between advections. |
