Determination of the optimum loading path (internal pressure- axial feeding) to restrict the Bursting, buckling and wrinkling through tube hydroforming process is necessary to produce an acceptable tube. In this paper, the wrinkling and fracture criteria are implemented to an finite element code devoted to the simulation of tube hydroforming processes. Using the ANSYS parametric design language...

Hydroforming patch technology for damaged screen pipes is designed based on tube hydroforming technology, and the methods determining forming pressure range defects are selected according to process. The model established technical demand parameters pipe repair. From mechanical properties of material digital–analog comparison analysis formability, it found that determiners formability (such as ...

In real crash cases, simple bending behavior is not common. this case, using the three-point test to examine provides a closer simulation in terms of representation structure under loading. It seen literature that products with tube sections are generally used as door im-pact beams. On other hand, when examining developed high strength steels, it studies on profiles only evaluated hydroforming....

in recent years, the hydroforming due to reduction in weight and increase in strength of automotive parts has attracted attention of the automotive industry. thus, the knowledge of the process to produce parts with desired quality and accuracy has been growing. one of the effective methods in improving the formability in the hydroforming is known as pulsating hydroforming. however, the reason o...

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/Sta...

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...

Hydroforging is a hybrid forming operation whereby a thick tube is formed to a desired geometry by combining forging and hydroforming principles. Through this process hollow structures with high strength-to-weight ratio can be produced for applications in power transmission systems and other structural components that demands high strength-to-weight ratio. In this process, a thick tube is defor...

The hydroforming technology can realize overall forming of large storage tank’s bottom, but the quality is affected by many technological parameters. In view wrinkling and cracking defects integral bottom in hydroforming, a multi-objective optimization model established for process parameters including pre-expansion pressure, hydraulic blank holder force, fillet radius holder. Based on finite e...
