By applying the shear damage criteria, facture occurrence for roll forming of U Section parts of TRIP 600 steel is analyzed with nonlinear finite element. In accordance with the maximum value of steel sheet of plastic strains for the fracture initiation and with the application of the element deletion technology of the ductile fracture, the calculation of the damage evolution parameters of the material fracture is successfully set up. By applying the explicit dynamic solution method, the fracture finite element analysis of TRIP600U type section roll forming is realized, and the relationship among the stress, strain, energy density as well as damage evolution and material fracture is obtained.

The creep deformation and damage evolution of nickel base superalloy (Waspaloy) at 700 °C are studied using the classic Kachanov–Rabotnov (KR) and a recently developed Sin-hyperbolic (Sinh) model. Uniaxial creep deformation and Bridgman rupture data collected from literature are used to determine the model constants and to compare the KR and the Sinh solutions. Finite-element (FE) simulations on a single eight-node element are conducted to validate the accuracy of the FE code. It is observed that KR cannot predict the creep deformation, damage, and rupture life of nickel base superalloys accurately using one set of constants for all the stress levels. The Sinh model exhibits a superior ability to predict the creep behavior using one set of constants for all the stress levels. Finite-element analysis (FEA) on 3D Bridgman notched Waspaloy specimen using the Sinh model is conducted. The results show that the Sinh model when combined with a representative stress equation and calibrated with experimental data can accurately predict the “notch effect” observed in the rupture life of notched specimen. Contour plots of damage evolution and stress redistribution are presented. It is demonstrated that the Sinh model is less stress sensitive, produces unconditional critical damage equal to unity at rupture, exhibits a more realistic damage distribution around the crack tip, and offers better crack growth analysis than KR.

In this paper, the ram of boring and milling machining center is taken as the research object. A new method that hydraulic pull rods compensation is proposed to solve the problem of deformation compensation of long stroke ram of boring and milling machining center. Firstly, the method of finite element analysis is used to get the laws of ram deformation and the relationship curve between the ram deformation and the stroke of ram. Secondly, the preliminary calculation value of pull rods compensation force is derived based on the theoretical analysis of material mechanics. The relationship curve between compensation force and the stroke of ram is obtained by finite element analysis and polynomial least squares method. Finally, the analyzed results are as follows: the laws of ram deformation distribution is accurately predicted by the used method, the deflection error of the ram is well controlled,and the machining precision is significantly improved.

This paper deals with experimental and finite element analysis of the stretch flanging process using AA- 5052 sheets of 0.5 mm thick. A parametrical study has been done through finite element simulation to inspect the influence of procedural parametrical properties on maximum thinning (%) within the stretch flanging process. The influence of preliminary flange length of sheet metal blank, punch die clearance, and width was examined on the maximum thinning (%). An explicit dynamic finite element method was utilized using the finite element commercial package ABAQUS. Strain measurement was done after conducting stretch flanging tests. A Mesh convergence examination was carried out to ascertain the maximum percentage accuracy in FEM model. It is found through finite element simulation that the width of sheet metal blanks has a greater impact on the maximum percentage of thinning as compared to preliminary flange length, and clearance of the punch dies.

Abstract How to enlarge the output displacement is a key issue in the research field of microgrippers. It is difficult to further enlarge the output displacement for the traditional displacement transmission mechanism (DTM). In this research, a two-stage amplification cylinder-driven DTM based on the compliant mechanisms is designed to realize the displacement output expansion. The opening and closing of the clamping jaws is driven by the air cylinder to enlarge the output displacement of the microgripper. According to the analysis of statics model of the mechanism, the relationship between the output displacement of the microgripper and the driving pressure of the cylinder is established. The magnification of the microgripper is obtained using a dynamic model. Moreover, based on the finite element analysis, the mechanical structure parameters are optimized. The microgripper was fabricated by utilizing wire electro discharge machining (WEDM) technique, and then a series of experiments were carried out to obtain the relationship between the displacement and the driving pressure. It is found that the maximum output displacement measured is 1190.4μm under the pressure of 0-0.6 Mpa, corresponding to the magnification of 47.63. Compared with the results of finite element analysis and theoretical calculation, the test results have a discrepancy of 2.39% and 6.62%, respectively. The microgripper has successfully grasped a variety of micro-parts with irregular shapes, and parallel grasping can be achieved, demonstrating the potential application of this design in the field of micromanipulation.
