Hydroforming processes of metal tubes and sheets are being widely applied in manufacturing because the increasing demand for lightweight parts sectors such as automobile, aerospace, ship-building industries [...]

this paper presents a control model of the hydroforming and the dual hydroforming process of atube. the theoretical part includes calculations to measure the change in tube thickness through thedeveloped process. the hydroforming and the dual hydroforming processes are simulated in thesolidsimulation software and the static and the dynamic simulations are modeled. theobtained results for the t-...

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 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...
