Abstract

The paper presents the results of the analysis of the influence of the applied plate layer on the state of stress in the bimetallic perforated plate. The finite element method ANSYS program was used for numerical calculations. The paper presents the results of stress tests for a single-layer clad plate made of S355J2 steel and a bimetallic perforated plate consisting of layers made of S355J2 steel and titanium. In addition, the study presents the results of the research on the influence of the method of loading, i.e. the concentrated force P in the geometric center of the plate and the external pressure q on the entire surface of the plate, and the method of support, i.e. free support and fixed, on the location of stress concentration zones in the bimetallic circular perforated plate. It has been shown that the presence of a perforated layer in the plate reduces the value of the equivalent von Mises stress by a minimum of approximately 30% in the base (steel) layer.

Summary

Introduction

I n engineering structures, e.g. process equipment [1] or energy equipment [2], elements consisting of many layers and of many materials are used, i.e. bimetallic (plated) elements (Fig. 1) [3, 4], laminated elements [5] and composite elements [6] Such structural elements may include layers made of structural steel, titanium alloys, brass, aluminum, nickel, and of non-metallic materials such as polyethylene, glued wood, glass fibers and carbon fibers. These types of elements are most often used due to the improvement of corrosion resistance, appropriate frictional properties or special properties of thermal conductivity as well as the mechanical parameters of the structure in which such elements are present. The use of elements consisting of many types of materials and multiple layers allows to obtain a material with specific properties that a single-layer material does not have
