  • Rigid-plastic hybrid element analyses of the plane strain upsetting
    YM Guo; K Nakanishi; Y Yokouchi
    A rigid-plastic hybrid element method (HEM) for simulation of metal forming is developed. This method is a mixed approach of the rigid-plastic domain-BEM and the rigid-plastic FEM based on the theory of compressible plasticity. Because the compatibilities of not only velocity but also velocity's derivative between the adjoining boundary elements and finite elements can be met, the velocities and the derivatives of the velocity can be calculated with the same precision for the rigid-plastic HEM. Then, it is considered that the rigid-plastic HEM is a more precise method in formulation than the conventional rigid-plastic FEMs for which the compatibilities of velocity's derivative cannot be met. The plane strain upsetting processes with two friction factors are analyzed by the rigid-plastic HEM in this article.

  • Hot backward extrusion comparative analyses by a combined finite element method
    YM Guo; Y Yokouchi; K Nakanishi
    Deformation and temperature of hot backward extrusion are complex owing to interaction between deformation and temperature. In this paper, two- and one-way axisymmetric hot backward extrusion problems are analyzed by a combined finite element method, which consists of the volumetrically elastic and deviatorically rigid-plastic finite element method and the heat transfer finite element method. The volumetrically elastic and deviatorically rigid-plastic finite element method is different from the conventional rigid-plastic finite element methods, and has some merits in comparison with the conventional methods. Because contact surfaces between workpiece and tools of the one-way extrusion are different from those of the two-way one, the deformation and temperature of the one-way extrusion are different from those of the two-way one. Contours of effective strain rate, effective strain, temperature, effective stress and hydrostatic stress, as well as plots at different reductions for the two extrusions are obtained successfully. Differences of calculated results for the two extrusions can be clearly seen through comparative analyses.
    Because the bulk modulus is introduced into the volumetrically elastic and deviatorically rigid-plastic finite element method, influence of temperature on hydrostatic stress can be considered in this paper.

  • Hot forging simulation by the volumetrically elastic and deviatorically rigid-plastic finite-element method
    Y. M. Guo; K. Nakanishi; Y. Yokouchi
    The authors have formulated the volumetrically elastic and deviatorically rigid-plastic finite-element method and have verified that this method has some merits such as automatic error-correcting by comparison with conventional rigid-plastic finite element methods. In this paper, an axisymmetric hot forging of 1015 steel is analyzed by the volumetrically elastic and deviatorically rigid-plastic finite element method. The forging processes of from 0 to 30% reduction in the vertical height of the dies are simulated. To consider the thermal effect of the hot forging, a combined simulation of plastic deformation and heat transfer with finite element methods is done. The numerical results are visualized by post-processing. Contours of temperature, effective strain rate, effective strain, effective stress, volume strain rate, hydrostatic stress and shear stress, as well as nodal velocity fields are obtained successfully., Elsevier Science S.A., 19 May 1999, Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 89-90, 111-116, English, 0924-0136, 80011112785, 0345533944

  • A comparison between the volumetrically elastic and deviatorically rigid-plastic FEM and the penalty rigid-plastic FEM
    YM Guo; Y Yokouchi; K Nakanishi; S Kamitani
    The volumetrically elastic and deviatorically rigid-plastic finite element method (FEM) is a different method from the conventional penalty rigid-plastic FEM, and has some merits in comparison with the penalty rigid-plastic FEM. To secure numerical evidence on the difference between the two kinds of methods and to show the merits of the volumetrically elastic and deviatorically rigid-plastic FEM, this paper makes analyses of the upsetting of an aluminium alloy column by the two kinds of methods. Then, normal solutions are compared with deviant solutions that are given by relaxing convergence criteria of the iterative solution in a calculated step by the two kinds of methods, respectively. In this way, it can be clarified that the errors of the step virtually disappear, and that the calculated results are largely corrected in the next step and the later steps for the volumetrically elastic and deviatorically rigid-plastic finite element analysis.

  • Adaptive load incrementation algorithm during a process of local unloading in the elastic-plastic finite element analysis.
    YOKOUCHI Yasuto; NAKAMURA Motoichi
    There are two approaches in the incremental finite element analysis of elastic-plastic problems; one takes an explicit scheme using forward Euler integration formula with adaptive load incrementation, the so-called rmin method, and another implicit scheme with iterative procedures such as the Newton method. This paper discusses an algorithm of determining incremental step size in the former approach. A new additional restriction is proposed for the determination of the loading factor rmin when unloading takes place. A concept of admissible error is introduced where errors in stress increments are defined as the difference between one computed by assuming the elastic-plastic constitutive relation and the other computed by assuming the elastic relation. The error norm should be restricted within specified value. Numerical examples are demonstrated to show that the algorithm is reasonable., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, Dec. 1990, Transactions of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers Series B, 56, 532, 2437-2442, Japanese, 0387-5008, 110002373265, AN0018742X
