Springback is an inevitable phenomenon while the load is released due to the elastic property after tube bending. This leads to an increase in the radius of curvature and elongation by plastic deformation, a reduction in the bending angle of the bent tube, a decrease in dimensional accuracy and fits with others difficulty. By elastic–plastic finite element methods (FEM), a reasonable simulation model for thin-walled tube bending is established to define the relationships between process parameters and springback angle, plastic deformation. With 210 kinds of models, the results show that: 1) Springback angle and plastic elongation of bending tube are related to bending angle, bending die diameter and tube thickness. 2) Controlling functions for plastic elongation and springback angle in bending tube process are given, which is verified by tube bending experiments.

Abstract Due to demand of strong toughness of thin walled tube, and good secondary forming properties and high-precision dimension, New plastic forming method should be researched to achieve a complete filling, uniform deformation and microstructure evolution during forming process.To obtain the deformation mechanisms of a new composite extrusion for thin walled tube fabricated by tube corrugated equal channel angular extrusion has been researched which is shorten as “TC-ECAE” in this paper. Finite element DEFORMTM-3D software to investigate the plastic deformation behavior of magnesium billet during TC-ECAE process has been employed. Computed parameters including workpiece material characteristics and process conditions have been taken into consideration. The pridictions of strains distributions and damage distributions and effective stress distributions and flow velocities distributions and microstructures evolutions have been explored. The results proved that the TC-ECAE process is a forming method for magnesium alloy tube which is suitable for large scale industrial application. The TC-ECAE process would cause serve plastic deformation and improve the dynamic recrystallization of magnesium alloy during TC-ECAE process.

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.

Ratcheting and fatigue damage of thin-walled tube under cyclic bending and steady internal pressure is studied. Chaboche's nonlinear kinematic hardening model extended by considering the effect of continuum damage mechanics employed to predict ratcheting. Lemaitre damage model [Lemaitre, J. and Desmorat, R. [2005] Engineering Damage Mechanics (Springer-Verlag, Berlin)] which is appropriate for low cyclic loading is used. Also the evolution features of whole-life ratcheting behavior and low cycle fatigue (LCF) damage of the tube are discussed. A simplified method related to the thin-walled tube under bending and internal pressure is used and compared well with experimental results. Bree's interaction diagram with boundaries between shakedown and ratcheting zone is determined. Whole-life ratcheting of thin-walled tube reduces obviously with increase of internal pressure.
