Abstract: For a cylinder-beam integrated hydraulic press (CBIHP), the hydraulic cylinder is also functioned as an upper beam. It is the key structural component that outputs the driving force to forge parts. Compared with the traditional three-beam and four-column hydraulic press which has a cylindrical hydraulic cylinder, the structure and force distribution are significantly different for CBIHP. It is able to have higher nominal force and larger section of plunger which the pressure is applied on when the contour geometric dimension is the same. Also, CBIHP has lighter weight and larger section modulus when the nominal force is the same than the traditional hydraulic press. Finally, a 6300KN cylinder-beam integrated hydraulic press, which is the first CBIHP in the world and designed by Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) in 2012, is also introduced in this paper. It can be seen from the results of numerical simulation for the CBIHP that both of the stresses and displacements on the press in the loading process are allowable.

Abstract: Firstly, the geometry condition of useful wrinkles during the hydroforming of double-cone tube was given. Then the stress condition of useful wrinkles was given by formula between the parameters of wrinkles shape at the end of axial feeding and internal pressure, hoop stress and axial stress. The analytical results were compared with the FEM analysis and experiments results. The results show that the useful wrinkles must meet both the geometry condition and the stress condition. The geometry condition of useful wrinkles is that the area of arbitrary length of wrinkles is a little smaller than the area of corresponding die cavity. The stress condition of useful wrinkles is that shape parameter G is not smaller than the radius R at the top of middle wrinkle. That means the increment of thickness strain dεt is positive and no thickness thinning will occur during the calibration. When the wrinkles didn’t match geometry condition, the dead wrinkles or bursting will take place. And when the wrinkles didn’t match stress condition, the bursting at top of middle wrinkle will occur during the calibration.
