Analysis of the Parameters Affecting Warping In Radial Forging Process

Abstract

Radial forging is a process in which one or two punches move axially causing a radial flow into a die cavity by means of which a flange is formed. During forging, warping, in which the lower face of thin flange rises from the die face may occur. To better understand the effect of parameters affecting the warping in radial forging a Finite Element analysis was used to simulate the process with isotropic elastic-plastic material model. Parameters such as die corner Radius (r) or shape and ring gap Height (H), on the warping, were investigated and results were compared with experimental work. It has been shown that increasing ring gap height and die corner radius will lead to warping reduction. Also it has been shown that special profile such as chamfered die, tapered ring gap, cosine profile and polynomial function may be used to reduce the warping

Finite element analysis of strain distribution in ZK60 Mg alloy during cyclic extrusion and compression

“…As a result, the strain homogeneity is improved with the increases of corner radius. Djavanroodi et al [16] have recently shown that the increase of the corner radius Distant from center to surface (A-B) (mm)…”

Analysis of the Model Checkers' Input Languages for Modeling Traffic Light Systems

“…There are many model checking systems which are developed; the most popular are SMV (McMillan, 1999;Islam et al, 2010), UPPAAL (Bengtsson et al, 1995;El Emary and Al Rabia, 2005), SPIN (Holzmann, 2003) and PRISM (Marta, 2003, Chandren et al, 2010. Each of the model checkers comes in a package with its own input language which has strict notations and features (Bhaduri and Ramesh, 2004;Djavanroodi et al, 2008). The SMV language is used to describe a finite state transition relational model.…”
