A VISION SYSTEM TO SUPPORT DETERMINATION OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF TUBES REQUIRED FOR COMPUTER MODELLING OF TUBE HYDROFORMING
Journal Title: Computer Methods in Materials Science - Year 2016, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Reliability of computer modelling of tube hydroforming depends strongly on mechanical properties of tubes, which are difficult to determine and sensitive to tube production methods. Some developments in experimental set-up and the vision system for tensile tests of specimens cut from the tube in the axial and circumferential directions are presented. The high accuracy of results obtained by this system has been crucial for determining strains in the tested tubes as well as flow curves for tube material and its planar anisotropy
APPLICATION OF THE IMMUNE ALGORITHM IRM FOR SOLVING THE INVERSE PROBLEM OF METAL ALLOY SOLIDIFICATION INCLUDING THE SHRINKAGE PHENOMENON
In the paper the mathematical model of the inverse one-dimensional problem of binary alloy solidification, with the material shrinkage phenomenon taken into account, is defined. The process is described by using the mode...
NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF DAMAGE DURING HOT FORMING
The main aim of the presented research is the analysis of damage evolution in 16MnCrS5 steel during hot forming based on results obtained from finite element modelling. Particular attention is put on the interaction betw...
CELLULAR AUTOMATA MODEL OF CARBONITRIDES PRECIPITATION PROCESS IN STEELS
Cellular Automata (CA) model of carbonitride precipitation in microalloyed steels is presented in the paper. The model accounts for an increase of dislocation density due to plastic deformation and predicts kinetics of p...
