Compressive Strength of Four-Layer Titanium-Steel Adapter with Soft Interlayer of Varying Thickness

Abstract

The work presents the result of the 3D finite element simulating of four-layer titanium-steel titanium + niobium + copper + steel 12Cr18Ni10Ti composite adapter behavior under axial compression using a SIMULIA/Abaqus software package. The "stress-strain" curves for adapters with various thicknesses of the copper sublayer was obtained. The differences in the deformation of niobium and copper sublayers on the outer and inner surfaces of the adapter was shown.
