Numerical Analysis of Stress States for Graphitic Cast Iron Structures

Article Preview

Abstract:

The presented work is focused on the analysis of stress distribution around the graphitic particles in microstructure of ductile cast iron with the spheroidal shape of graphite (SGCI) and grey cast iron with the lamellar shape of graphite (LGCI). The analysis was made with help of the finite element method in the software system ADINA.v.8.6.2. On the basis of the real structure, the finite element method was used for creation of the model which was subsequently used for calculation of the distribution of stress in the material structure. The input data for numerical analysis were obtained on the basis of evaluation of the structure with help of image analysis. The numerical analysis proved that graphitic particles in the matrix cause the accumulation of stress and the distribution of given stress depends on the shape of the graphitic particles.
