abstract

tube hydroforming (thf) process is used to produce the complex components from the initial cylindrical tubes. in this paper, t- shape component was formed using a tube hydroforming machine and the residual stresses of hydroformed tube was determined by hole drilling method. subsequently, the thickness distribution and residual stresses of final tube were investigated using experimental and finite element (fe) methods. the results represented the top of the protrusion has the minimum thickness, whereas the maximum thickness appears in the bottom zone of t-shape tube. the fe results showed that the maximum principal stress in the middle part of piece has own maximum value while the maximum value of minimum principal stress is located in the top of protrusion and the fillet transition region of the protrusion. it is found that the value of residual stress, protrusion height and thickness distribution in simulated results were in good agreement with the experimental results.

experimental and numerical study of through thickness residual stresses distribution in sheet metals produced by ecar

abstract: the equal channel angular rolling (ecar) is one of the severe plastic deformation processes, which can develop a shear deformation into a sheet metal. in this process, internal stresses are created due to the different strain levels experienced in different locations at the same time. the incremental hole drilling method is an effective technique for the evaluation of the through-thic...

Theoretical and experimental study on the hydroforming of bifurcation tube

Hydroforming is one kind of plasticity working, which can be used to increase the diameter, to change the geometry, or to expand the outer walls of cylindrical shells or tubes. The forming principle of hydroforming is by using a die to constrain the outer geometry of a tube and then pumping high pressure oil into the inner tube, so as to force part of the tube to flow into the die cavity. In or...

Numerical Study on Effect of Bilinear Pressure Path on Corner Filling in Hydroforming of Tube in Box-Shape Die

Die corner filling is very important in tube hydroforming process. Definition of the internal pressure path is a key factor in improving the corner filling.  However, the factors that cause improvement of corner filling are still unclear. In this paper, effect of bilinear pressure path on corner filling in hydroforming of tube in box-shape die is studied using both finite element simulation and...
