A Study on the Tool Geometry Effects in the Swage Autofrettage Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Swage autofrettage is one of the methods used for increasing life time of tubes and thick wall cylinders under the dynamic loading condition. In this paper swage autofrettage process of thick walled tubes are simulated using ABAQUS commercial code and effect of tool design on the residual stress distribution are investigated. For validating numerical results some experiments were performed and results of experimental and numerical methods showed good agreement with each others.
