Abstract Liquid Impact Forming (LIF) is a new composite forming technology based on Tube Hydroforming (THF) technology, which changes the volume of mould cavity through impact load and rapidly generates internal pressure to realize tube forming. It does not need external pressure supply source, and it is low cost and high efficiency. In order to study the forming characteristics of the natural bulging area of thin-walled metal tubes under different model side lengths and different model closing velocities, the change of the cavity volume of thin-walled metal tubes under impact hydraulic bulging was firstly analyzed theoretically, and a mathematical model of internal pressure was established. Then the effects of different loading parameters on the internal pressure, bulging height and wall thickness distribution in the natural bulging area of thin-walled metal tube were studied. Finally, through the comparison of finite element simulation analysis and experiment, it was found that the deviation between the experimental results and the numerical simulation was within 5%, which verified the accuracy and reliability of LIF. It also provides a certain theoretical research and application basis for the development of LIF of metal thin-walled tube.

The propagation of plastic zones in a thin-walled sandwich-type cylinder has been analysed theoretically. Boundary conditions are clamped-clamped at both ends, i.e. no rotation is permitted. The material was assumed to behave isotropically and to obey the yieid criterion of Huber-Hencky-von Mises. Deformation was computed on the assumption that the vector of rate of strain was normal to the plastic-interaction curve. The predicted result was verified experimentally. Four specimens were built by lamination of a hexcell core between two concentric cylinders. In the two mild-steel specimens, the initial stage of plastic flow conformed well with the prediction. This proved that plastic flow is not initiated at the mid-position between the end constraints. In two aluminium specimens, this phenomenon of incipient plastic flow could not be observed owing to the absence of a pronounced yield point. The overall agreement was, however, satisfactory.

A numerical solution for analysis of the bulging process of a thin-walled tube under internal pressure and axial force is proposed. The solution is applied to a case in which the longitudinal stress resulted from internal pressure and external compressive load is tensile along the whole length of the bulged tube. To verify whether the solution is applicable, theoretical and experimental results on the bulging of copper tubes have been obtained and are compared in this paper.

The stress analysis of a multi-mitred pipe bend when subjected to an internal pressure and a simultaneous in-plane or out-of-plane bending load has been developed. Stress patterns and flexibility factors calculated by this analysis are compared with experimental results from a large-diameter, thin-walled, three-weld, 90° multi-mitred bend which was subjected to in-plane bending tests at various internal pressures.
