Finite element modelling and simulation of bulk material forming

Abstract

Purpose -To provide a selective bibliography for researchers working with bulk material forming (specifically the forging, rolling, extrusion and drawing processes) with sources which can help them to be up-to-date. Design/methodology/approach -A range of published (1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005) works, which aims to provide theoretical as well as practical information on the material processing namely bulk material forming. Bulk deformation processes used in practice change the shape of the workpiece by plastic deformations under forces applied by tools and dies. Findings -Provides information about each source, indicating what can be found there. Listed references contain journal papers, conference proceedings and theses/dissertations on the subject. Research limitations/implications -It is an exhaustive list of papers (1,693 references are listed) but some papers may be omitted. The emphasis is to present papers written in English language. Sheet material forming processes are not included. Practical implications -A very useful source of information for theoretical and practical researchers in computational material forming as well as in academia or for those who have recently obtained a position in this field. Originality/value -There are not many bibliographies published in this field of engineering. This paper offers help to experts and individuals interested in computational analyses and simulations of material forming processes.

Modeling and Simulation of Steel Rolling with Microstructure Evolution: An Overview

“…[7,8] As one of the numerical methods employed in rolling simulations, the finite-element method (FEM) is representatively implemented and developed for rolling applications due to its expandability in coping with the increasing complexity of the process and shape diversity. [9][10][11] In parallel with the needs of computational optimization based on the FEM, different commercialized software for academy and/or industry usage are available. [12][13][14][15] To predict the final properties of the rolled products, computational modeling of the process should consider two major parts: large plastic deformation during rolling and thermal analysis.…”

Thermo-viscoplastic numerical modeling of metal forging process by Pseudo Inverse Approach

“…A series of developments in the large deformation elasto-plastic analysis in the following decades lead to the development of simulation codes for industrial forming applications. A review of these developments and their application to metal forming processes have been presented in [3][4][5] and an extensive bibliography of finite element modelling of bulk material forming maybe found in [6]. All these developments were concerned with the direct analysis (forward analysis) of the metal forming problem using an incremental method, starting from a given initial shape, to simulate the large plastic deformation and the contact friction in a step-by-step method.…”

An approximate efficient finite element approach to simulating a rotary forming process and its application to a wheel-bearing assembly

“…During the last decade, a great deal of research [4] has been performed on the finite element methods [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] used for bulk metal forming simulations, with the result that most metal forming processes can now be simulated. A few studies have also attempted to apply three-dimensional finite element methods to numerically simulate rotary forming processes, including ring rolling and rotary forging, since Kim et al [16] applied a rigidplastic finite element method [5] to simulate ring rolling processes two and a half decades ago.…”
