The Relationship

There are many advantages of magnesium alloy such as light mass, nonrattling and electromagnetic interference shield. Yet, its ductility was poor at room temperature and plastic forming was difficulty due to its close-packed hexagonal structure. In this paper, the superplasticity of magnesium alloy AZ91D was explored and the relationship between flow stress and true strain were achieved at different temperature by tensile tests. It was found that the flow stress of AZ91D as cast was less than 20MPa at 340-450°Cand superplastic deformation could be used to manufacture magnesium alloy parts. Utilized superplastic air bulking mold, AZ91D seamless pipes with variable cross-section were manufactured successfully based on process parameters being optimized. Moreover, the relationship between loading path of internal pressure and wall thickness was analyzed also.

Simple Equations

When considering the creep of cylinders subjected to internal pressure, the theory of Johnson et al. takes into account progressive changes of radial, circumferential and axial stress at any point in the wall thickness. This approach differs from that put forward by Bailey, who assumed that these stresses remained constant with time. The present paper summarizes an examination of both theories, with particular reference to outside and bore diameters, and presents simple equations which enable circumferential strain to be calculated without using the complex graphical integration procedure suggested by Johnson. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that these equations are mathematically identical with those derived by Bailey.

Shakedown Limit

A simplified technique for determining the shakedown limit load of a structure employing an elastic-perfectly-plastic material behavior was previously developed and successfully applied to a long radius 90-degree pipe bend. The pipe bend is subjected to constant internal pressure and cyclic bending. The cyclic bending includes three different loading patterns namely; in-plane closing, in-plane opening, and out-of-plane bending moment loadings. The simplified technique utilizes the finite element method and employs small displacement formulation to determine the shakedown limit load without performing lengthy time consuming full cyclic loading finite element simulations or conventional iterative elastic techniques. In the present paper, the simplified technique is further modified to handle structures employing elastic-plastic material behavior following the kinematic hardening rule. The shakedown limit load is determined through the calculation of residual stresses developed within the pipe bend structure accounting for the back stresses, determined from the kinematic hardening shift tensor, responsible for the translation of the yield surface. The outcomes of the simplified technique showed very good correlation with the results of full elastic-plastic cyclic loading finite element simulations. The shakedown limit moments output by the simplified technique are used to generate shakedown diagrams of the pipe bend for a spectrum of constant internal pressure magnitudes. The generated shakedown diagrams are compared with the ones previously generated employing an elastic-perfectly-plastic material behavior. These indicated conservative shakedown limit moments compared to the ones employing the kinematic hardening rule.

Abstract The present paper makes an attempt to depict the effect of ovality in the inlet pigtail pipe bend of a reformer under combined internal pressure and in-plane bending. Finite element analysis (FEA) and experiments have been used. An incoloy Ni-Fe-Cr B407 alloy material was considered for study and assumed to be elastic-perfectly plastic in behavior. The design of pipe bend is based on ASME B31.3 standard and during manufacturing process, it is challenging to avoid thickening on the inner radius and thinning on the outer radius of pipe bend. This geometrical shape imperfection is known as ovality and its effect needs investigation which is considered for the study. The finite element analysis (ANSYS-workbench) results showed that ovality affects the load carrying capacity of the pipe bend and it was varying with bend factor (h). By data fitting of finite element results, an empirical formula for the limit load of inlet pigtail pipe bend with ovality has been proposed, which is validated by experiments.

Good Agreement

The effect of oscillation of internal pressure on the formability and shape accuracy of the products in a pulsating hydroforming process of T-shaped parts was examined by finite element simulation. The local thinning was prevented by oscillating the internal pressure. The filling ratio of the die cavity and the symmetrical degree of the filling was increased by the oscillation of pressure. The calculated deforming shape and the wall thickness are in good agreement with the experimental ones. It was found that pulsating hydroforming is useful in improving the formability and shape accuracy in the T-shape hydroforming operation.
