In order to fully understanding the distribution of residual stress after riveting and the relationship between residual stress and riveting process parameters during riveting, Finite Element Method was used to establish a riveting model. Quasi-static method to solve the convergence difficulties was adopted in riveting process. The riveting process was divided into six stages according to the stress versus time curves. The relationship of residual stress with rivet length and rivet hole clearance were established. The results show numerical simulation is effective for riveting process and can make a construction for the practical riveting.

There is an enormous need in the health welfare sector to manufacture inexpensive dialyzer membranes with minimum dialysis duration. In order to optimize the dialysis cost and time, an in-depth analysis of the effect of dialyzer design and process parameters on toxins (ranging from tiny to large size molecules) clearance rate is required. Mathematical analysis and enhanced computational power of computers can translate the transport phenomena occurring inside the dialyzer while minimizing the development cost. In this paper, the steady-state mass transport in blood and dialysate compartment and across the membrane is investigated with convection-diffusion equations and tortuous pore diffusion model (TPDM), respectively. The two-dimensional, axisymmetric CFD model was simulated by using a solver based on the finite element method (COMSOL Multiphysics 5.4). The effect of design and process parameters is analyzed by solving model equations for varying values of design and process parameters. It is found that by introducing tortuosity in the pore diffusion model, the clearance rate of small size molecules increases, but the clearance rate of large size molecules is reduced. When the fiber aspect ratio (db/L) varies from 900 to 2300, the clearance rate increases 37.71% of its initial value. The results also show that when the pore diameter increases from 10 nm to 20 nm, the clearance rate of urea and glucose also increases by 2.09% and 7.93%, respectively, with tolerated transport of albumin molecules.

Deep drawing process, one of sheet metal forming methods, is very useful in industrial field because of its efficiency. The deep drawing process is affected by many material and process parameters, such as the strain-hardening exponent, plastic strain ratio, anisotropic property of blank, friction and lubrication, blank holder force, presence of drawbeads, the profile radius of die and punch, etc. In this paper, a finite element method is used to investigate the cylindrical deep drawing process. The thickness of product and the forming force predicted by current simulation are compared with the experimental data. A finite element method is also used to investigate the maximum forming load and the minimum thickness of products under various process parameter conditions, including the profile radius of die, the clearance between die cavity and punch and the blank holding force. Furthermore, the material anisotropy and process parameters effect on the earing are also investigated.

The main causes of performance variation in tube bending process are variations in the mechanical properties of material, initial tube thickness, coefficient of friction and other forming process parameters. In order to control this performance variation and to optimize the tube bending process parameters, a robust design method is proposed in this paper for the tube bending process, based on the finite element method and the Taguchi method. During the robust design process, the finite element analysis is incorporated to simulate the tube bending process and calculate the objective function value, the orthogonal design method is selected to arrange the simulation experiments and calculate the S/N ratio. Finally, a case study for the tube bending process is implemented. With the objective to control tube crack (reduce the maximum thinning ratio) and its variation, the robust design mathematical model is established. The optimal design parameters are obtained and the maximum thinning ratio has been reduced and its variation has been controlled.

Nowadays, the compound fine-blanking forming process is one of the most important processes to produce complicate multifunctional parts without subsequent machining. However, the big die-roll occurs in the sharp area is a common problem in this process. In this paper, the method with negative punch-die clearance was proposed to solve this problem by comparing three feasible plans. In addition, the influence on the process with different value of the negative punch-die clearance was studied by the finite element method (FEM). The results of this study verified that the process with suitable value of the negative punch-die clearance can result in significant decrease of the die-roll size. The relationship between the material flow near the region of die-roll and the punch-die clearance was also clarified.
