Finite Element analysis of aluminum tube hydroforming based on non-quadratic yield function
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although very accurate in representing the material anisotropy, finite element analysis based on direct use of a polycrystal model is CPU-intensive (Guan et al., 2006a). In the present study, this Taylor-type polycrystalline model was firstly used to predict the anisotropy coefficients of Yld96 yield function. Then this phenomenological anisotropic yield function was implemented into ABAQUS/Standard finite element code, using UMAT, for the hydroforming simulation of a 6061-T4 extruded aluminum tube. It was shown that compared with von Mises (1913) and Hill’s (1948) yield function, the Yld96 material model’s predictions are in better agreement with experimental data.

Investigation on the Ultrasonic Tube Hydroforming in the Bulging Process Using Finite Element Method
In ultrasonic tube hydroforming, the tube is hydro formed while the ultrasonic vibration is applied to the die. Prior studies provide experimental proof that ultrasonic tube hydroforming reduces corner radius, improves lubrication and uniform thickness. Use of ultrasonic vibration can decrease friction at the tube-die interface. Few attempts have been made to analyze the wire drawing while the ...

متن کاملInvestigating the Ultrasonic Assistance in the Tube Hydroforming Process
The purpose of introducing ultrasonic vibrations in the tube hydroforming process is to create more formability by obtaining a lower corner radius, improve thickness distribution of the wall and provide good tribological conditions at the tube and the die interface. Vibrations imposed on the die create alternating gaps which improve the formability in the tube hydroforming process in the presen...
