Abstract: In this paper, finite element predictions of a tensile test of cylindrical specimens obtained by rigid-plastic and elastoplastic finite element methods are compared in terms of tensile load-elongation curve and deformed shape. The flow stress curve used for this study is obtained by a scheme of obtaining flow stress at large strain from tensile test of cylindrical specimen using rigid-plastic finite element method. The two predictions are compared in a quantitative manner and discussed not only to find some similarity but also to distinguish the elastoplastic finite element method from the rigid-plastic finite element method.

Abstract: In this project, a rigid plastic Finite Element Method (FEM) simulator was developed for simulating the plastic flow material in rotary forming. The simulation result was able to predict the cup height of the final product up to an accuracy of 80% and the localized deformation which leads to failure in the deformation process. The workability of the aluminum disc was also studied to understand the material flow behavior under incremental bending and flow forming by utilizing a lathe machine.

Abstract: This paper has established geometry model of the rigid-plastic Finite Element Model (FEM) basing on the foundation of similarity theory. It has simulated and analyzed the material of ASTM-Gr.D used by finite element analysis software of metal plastic DEFORM with different negative clearance values blanking, which obtains the caver of the different negative clearance values with roll-over with sheared zone with punching load. According to the result of simulation, it has made an experiment on the ASTM-Gr.D of 2.0(mm) thickness with the different negative clearance, and obtained samples with sheared well and no burr, which summarized that it could achieve no burr in fine blanking when the values of negative clearances value took -0.1 ~ -0.3mm.

Abstract: The analysis for rigid plastic forming problems with finite element method can lose considerable accuracy due to severely distortional meshes. By measuring the mesh equality of elements, a coupling algorithm for rigid plastic problems have been proposed based on the interface element method, which converts the FE analysis into the EFG computation to preserve the accuracy in the region where meshes have been severely distorted. Numerical example shows that the present algorithms exploit the respective advantages of both the FE method whose computational efficiency is high and the EFG method which can throws out mesh distortions and be suitable for rigid plastic forming analysis.

Abstract: The effects of rolling parameters on the broadwise deformation of the workpiece are analyzed by rigid-plastic finite element method. At the basis of better grasping the effective law on freedom broadwise deformation ,the effects of the Oval height and Oval width on the Forced /Restricted broadwise deformation in rolling process are analyzed. Considering the equivalent strain,the effects of the Oval height and Oval width are gotten again using the related strain data in the DEFORM-3D post-processing.

Abstract: The analysis for die forging forming problems with finite element method can lose considerable accuracy due to severely distortional meshes. The element-free Galerkin method is suitable for large deformation analysis and provides a higher rate of convergence than that of the conventional finite element methods. A rigid-plastic meshless method based on the element-free Galerkin method has been applied to die forging problems. The arc-tangent friction model is used to handle frictional contact and the penalty method is applied to impose the volumetric incompressibility conditions. By dividing all integration points set into the point subset of the rigid zones and the point subset of the plastic zones, nonsmoothness of the rigid-plastic constitutive relation can be eliminated. A die forging example has been analyzed to demonstrate the performance of the method.
