A One-Point Quadrature Element Used in Simulation of Cold Ring Rolling Process

Abstract:

A single-point load will be applied on the ring in the cold ring rolling process when the ring vibrates violently. This arouses hourglass in finite element simulation of the process using reduced integration element. A one-point quadrature element with hourglass control developed by Hu is used, and the user-defined control parameters are not required. Hourglass energy can be reduced to 3 percent of the internal energy. The element is applied to simulation of a pure radial cold ring rolling with rectangular section. Compared with the experimental results, the simulation results are proved to be accurate. Key-Words: one-point quadrature; Hourglass control; finite element; cold ring rolling
