Aiming at the flexible 3D stretch bending with multipoint dies for the aluminum profile, the numerical simulation analysis of the bending process was carried out by ABAQUS finite element software. In the multipoint stretch bending (MPSB) process, the influence of the number of die units on the springback for the complex section profile was studied. The shape error between the forming parts and the target parts was reduced through the method of die surface modification. The results showed that the springback of the aluminum profile could reach a minimum when the number of die units was 25 under the precondition of saving cost and ensuring the quality of forming parts. In the numerical simulation, the maximum shape error of the forming parts reduced from 18.824 mm to 2.456 mm; in the test, the maximum shape error reduced from 27.26 mm to 6.03 mm through the method of die surface modification.

Bending Process

The springback is one of the main defects in the flexible 3D stretch-bending process. In this paper, according to the orthogonal design of experiments, the numerical simulation analysis of the springback for the 3D stretch-bending aluminum profile is carried out by the ABAQUS finite element software. And to investigate the effect of material properties on the springback, the range analysis of the orthogonal experiment is performed. The results show that these material properties of the aluminum profile (elastic modulus E, yield strength σy, and tangent modulus E1) might have the biggest influence on the springback of the aluminum profile, and the optimized forming parameters are founded as follows: the horizontal bending degree is 14°, the vertical bending degree is 14°, the number of multipoint stretch-bending dies is 10, the friction coefficient is 0.15, and aluminum alloy grade is 6063. Moreover, the model of the BP neural network for the prediction of the springback is established and trained based on the orthogonal experiment, and the results with the BP neural network model are in good agreement with experimental results. So it is obvious that the BP neural network could predict effectively the springback of 3D multipoint stretch-bending parts.

Stretch Bending

The finite element numerical simulation method was used to study the stretch-bending process of asymmetric L-section aluminum alloy profiles. The geometrical parameters of the multipoint dies (MPDs) are studied to influence the shape accuracy and springback of the L-section profile after bending. The results show that the profile curvature of the MPD after the profile is bent has a great influence on the stress-strain distribution, springback value, and shape accuracy. In order to obtain uniform stress-strain of the profile and reduce the springback and shape error, the MPD is optimized by numerical simulation analysis, which has a certain reference value of providing a theoretical basis for the rational design of the flexible stretch-bending.

Simulation Results

In the flexible stretch bending of multi-point roller dies process, the deformation of workpiece is mainly driven by clamps. Therefore, the movement track of clamp has a great influence on the forming effect of workpiece. Y-profile, T-profile, and L-profile are taken as the research objects. Simulation and experiments are carried out with two different movement tracks. The influence of the movement tracks on shape error, springback error, and thickness variation of different profiles is discussed. The experimental results of the three profiles processed by the double-sided forming method are consistent with the simulation results, which proves the accuracy of the numerical simulation. The results show that the movement track has a great influence on shape error. Compared with double-sided forming, one-sided forming can effectively reduce springback error. The two different movement tracks have no obvious influence on thickness change.

Permafrost Regions

The geological environment along a buried pipeline in permafrost regions is complex, where differential frost heave often occurs. To understand the changes in the stress behavior of pipeline structures caused by corrosion while laying them in permafrost regions, we established a thermo-mechanical coupling model of buried pipeline with corrosion defects by using finite element software. Numerical simulation analysis of buried pipeline was conducted. The effects of the frost heave length, the length of the transition section, the corrosion depth, and the corrosion length on the stress displacement were obtained. These analyses showed that the stresses and displacements of the pipeline with corrosion defects in permafrost regions can be simulated by using the finite element software numerical simulation method. Afterward, the corrosion resistances of pipelines with different corrosion lengths and depths were investigated via an electrochemical testing method. These results can provide some useful insights into the possible mechanical state of buried pipeline with regard to their design and construction, as well as some useful theoretical references for simulating real-time monitoring and safety analysis for their operation in permafrost regions.

In order to study the vibration influence of tunnel drilling and blasting method on the built tunnel with small clear distance, taking the intersection of Zhuhai Dahengqinshan No. 1 tunnel and Zhuji urban rail tunnel as the engineering background, we used ABAQUS finite element software to conduct numerical simulation analysis on the influence of different blasting loads on existing tunnels with small clear distance in Zhuji tunnel construction. The following conclusions were drawn: the blasting construction of the tunnel under construction had the greatest impact on the vault of the existing tunnel; when the peak load was reduced by half, the stress value, vertical displacement, and resultant velocity of Mises were also reduced by half, which indicates that reducing the peak value of blasting load appropriately can ensure the safety of tunnel construction. When the peak load is 2.7 MPa, the measured and simulated values were less than the resultant velocity limit required by the specification. In addition, the relative error between the measured value and the simulated value was less than 5%, indicating the accuracy of the numerical simulation.
