Abstract:

Reshaping process is a widely used method for producing tubes with non-circular cross sections. Owing to the friction between pipe and rolls, initial round pipe moves forward and consequently, it gradually formed into square or rectangular one. In practice, geometric profile of the rolls will be changed after a while. These changes would be detrimental the production of faultless products. Therefore, in this paper the reshaping process is studied considering wear phenomena on the rolls. This study is a co-operation with a related industry at which square tubes are produced using reshaping process. In order to investigate the production line, considering industrial datasheets, the process is modeled by means of a commercial FEM package, ABAQUSExplicit. The reshaping process is simulated as a 3D model and subsequently the sustainable regions to wear are investigated. The influences of significant parameters such as material and thickness of strip, as well as friction coefficient on the worn area, are studied. At the end, the FEM reults are comprised with the experiments reults and a good consistency between them is seen.

Determination of Buckling Limit of Strain in Cold Roll Forming through Finite Element Analysis

In this study, Buckling Limit of Strain (B.L.S.) is introduced as one of the most important limiting factors in cold roll forming process. B.L.S. is calculated by the finite element procedure. Then for two particular processes with existing analysis and experimental results, B.L.S. has been determined and evaluated. LUSAS 12.3 is used for finite element analysis. The results show that when buck...

A two dimensional Simulation of crack propagation using Adaptive Finite Element Analysis

Finite element method (FEM) is one of the most famous methods which has many applications in varies studies such as the study of crack propagation in engineering structures. However, unless extremely fine meshes are employed, problem arises in accurately modelling the singular stress field in the singular element area around the crack tip. In the present study, the crack growth simulation has b...

Finite Element Simulation of Welding Distortion in Large Structure

Fusion welding is widely used in heavy industries to join different parts together. But sometimes welding-induced distortions cause problems like misalignment during assembling and make costs to remove them. Thus it is imperative to predict and mitigate them to improve weldments quality and also reduce in fabrication costs. This study at first will introduce inherent deformation method for pred...

Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced RC Bracket Using CFRP Plates

CFRP composites have unique application qualities such as high resistance and durability to environmental conditions, having relatively low weight and easy to install in strengthening concrete structure elements. The brackets should be strengthen sufficiently if they are not calculated and implemented well. Application of the CFRP is one of the methods for such purposes. The study involves usin...
