In this paper, backward and forward–backward-radial extrusion processes of aluminum have been simulated using finite element method. Due to the extreme deformation of the workpiece and the restrictions of the Lagrangian approach to simulate such problems, the arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) and the Eulerian descriptions have been implemented in backward and forward–backward-radial extrusion processes, respectively. Operator-split method is used to solve the coupled governing equations of the Eulerian and the ALE formulations. To validate the finite element simulations, the results have been compared with experimental data in terms of extrusion load and geometry of final products. A good agreement has been seen between the results demonstrating the capability of the Eulerian and the ALE methods on finite element simulation of extrusion processes.

Abstract A finite element model was developed to simulate the tire-rim interface. Elastomers were modeled by nonlinear incompressible elements, whereas plies were simulated by cord-rubber composite elements. Gap elements were used to simulate the opening between tire and rim at zero inflation pressure. This opening closed when the inflation pressure was increased gradually. The predicted distribution of contact pressure at the tire-rim interface agreed very well with the available experimental measurements. Several variations of the tire-rim interference fit were analyzed.
