A Selective Reduced Integration 8-Node Hexahedral Element by Assumed Strain for Coining Simulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

A selective reduced integration 8-node hexahedral element for coining simulation is developed in this paper. The element is free of volume locking by assumed strain method. The standard velocity gradient matrix is derived in which the shear items are ignored to avoid shear locking. Hourglass modes are successfully suppressed without user-input parameters. The element is successfully employed in the coining simulation package - COINFORM. Numerical tests and experiments of a typical coin are carried out to show the good performances of the element.
