Experimental studies of the wheel rim workpieces with additional technological corrugations have been carried out the results of which showed the ineffectiveness of this technique in profiling to increase thickness of the radial profile junctions of the semi-finished product. The comparison of profiling methods was carried out according to the Cochran's criterion and Student t-test. The additional experiments aimed at the determination of the flexural strain on differently shaped workpieces confirmed the impossibility of creation of the upthrust in the meridional direction during the deformation of the closed shells with straightening of the technological seats (corrugations). It is determined that the seats on the shell unbend in the tangential direction, the bending moments are damped nearthe site of the load application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
