The deep drawing of titanium thin-walled surface part was simulated based on a self-developed three-dimensional finite element model. After an investigation on forming rules, a virtual orthogonal experimental design was adopted to determine the significance of processing parameters, such as die radius, blank holder force, and friction coefficient, on the forming process. The distributions of thickness and equivalent plastic strain of the drawn part were evaluated. The results show that die radius has a relative major influence on the deep drawing process, followed by friction coefficient and blank holder force.
The aim of this research was to develop an experimental-numerical approach to characterize the effect of constant loading coupled with elevated temperature on epoxy bulk adhesive and predict the stress degradation of bulk adhesive specimen under 15% and 25% tensile failure load for automotive industry. A power-law creep model was built to simulate the effect of temperature and loading on adhesive mechanical behavior, and the related strength degradation simulation has also been implemented using a creep strain dependent ductile damage model. Experiments were conducted on bulk adhesive specimens under constant temperature coupled with mechanical load and the corresponding experimental results provided creep parameters for the simulation procedure as well as effective validation with the numerical results in this study. The results obtained from experiments and numerical simulations were also in good agreement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
