Abstract This paper extends the finite element simulation scheme to handle the problem of tires undergoing sliding (skidding) impact into obstructions. Since the inertial characteristics are handled by the algorithm developed, the full range of operating environments can be accommodated. This includes the treatment of impacts with holes and bumps of arbitrary geometry.

Dynamic and quasi-static tensile tests of 5083P-O aluminium alloy were carried out using RPL100 electronic creep/fatigue testing machine and the split Hopkinson tension bar, respectively. The dynamic constitutive relation of the material at high strain rates was studied, and the constitutive model in accordance with Cowper–Symonds form was established. At the same time, a method to describe the constitutive relation of material using the strain rate interpolation method which is included in LS-DYNA software was proposed. The advantages and accuracy of this method were verified by comparing the results of the finite element simulation with the fitting results of the Cowper-Symonds model. The influence of material strain rate effect on squeezing force, energy absorption and deformation mode of the squeezing energy-absorbing structure based on the constitutive models of 5083P-O were studied by means of finite element simulation. The results show that when the strain rate of the structure deformation is low, the material strain rate strengthening effect has little influence on the structure. However, with the increase of the strain rate, the strengthening effect of the material will improve the squeezing force and the energy absorption of the structure, and will also influence the deformation mode, that is, the decrease of the deformation with high strain rates while the increase of the deformation with low strain rates.

Vacuum hot bulge forming (VHBF) is becoming an increasingly important manufacturing process for titanium alloy cylindrical workpiece in the aerospace industries. Finite element simulation is an essential tool for the specification of process parameters. In this paper, a two-dimensional nonlinear thermo-mechanical couple FE model was established. Numerical simulation of vacuum hot bulge forming of titanium alloy cylindrical workpiece was carried out using FE analysis software MSC.Marc. The effects of process parameter on vacuum hot bulge forming of BT20 titanium alloy cylindrical workpiece was analyzed by numerical simulation. The proposed an optimized vacuum hot bulge forming process parameters and die size. And the corresponding experiments were carried out. The simulated results agreed well with the experimental results.

A forming sequence of one-piece automobile steel wheels without welding was designed. In this forming process, the one-piece wheel was formed from a circular blank only by multi-stage stamping operations, and a deeply drawn cup was formed into the wheel. Two humps of the rim flange for fixing the tire were formed in the flaring and flanging stages. The humps of the rim in the opening and outer side were formed by buckling the inner flange of the rim, and by swelling the outer flange with an upper die having a short land, respectively. In addition, the number of stages was considerably reduced from 16 stages to only 9 stages by combining the deep drawing and ironing stages and by adding a holding die in the flaring stages. The forming sequence of the one-piece wheels was evaluated by both finite element simulation and miniature experiment.

The recent push to use more aluminium in automobiles has stimulated interest in understanding electromagnetic forming (EMF), which uses induced electromagnetic fields to generate high strain rates during the forming process. The high strain rates increase the formability of aluminum materials and might reduce elastic spring-back and wrinkling of the workpiece. Primary emphasis is placed on including of all relevant physical phenomena, which govern the process, as well as their numerical representation by means of simplified electrical equivalent circuits for the EMF machine and fully coupled field approach of the transient electromagnetic and mechanical phenomena. Moreover, the thermal effects due to Joule heating by eddy currents and plastic work are considered. The numerical model predicts the electromagnetic field, temperature, stress, and deformation properties that occur during the forming process. The numerical results of the tube deformation are compared with available experimental data.
