In recent years, the style of 3C products demanded thin and small results due to gradual trends, though most of the industry is forming a continuous manner of stamping. However, the material thickness cannot be changed in products. This paper employs the rigid-plastic finite element (FE) DEFORMTM 3D software to investigate the plastic deformation behavior of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) workpiece for the forming processes of cellphone covers. In addition, this study utilizes the Solid Work 2010 3D graphics-rendering software for modeling, which is simulation software used to import various forming process conditions. The software analyzes the effective strain, the effective stress, critical damage value, and the die radius load distribution of the work-piece. Furthermore, this study used simulative software to analyze its forming processes for changes in grain size of the microstructure. The analytical results confirm the suitability of the current finite element software for forming processes of cellphone covers.

At present, a fundamental knowledge of the thermal and mechanical interactions occurring during the extrusion of magnesium is lacking. This acts as a serious technological barrier to the cost-effective manufacturing of lightweight magnesium alloy profiles. In the present research, a three-dimensional finite element (FE) simulation of extrusion to produce a magnesium alloy profile with a cross shape was carried out as an efficient means to gain this understanding. It revealed the redistribution of temperatures in the billet throughout the process from the transient state to the steady state, the formation of the deformation zone and dead metal zone, and varying fields of effective stress, effective strain, effective strain rate, and temperature close to the die orifice. The predicted extrudate temperature and extrusion pressure were compared with experimental measurements. The key to controlling the extrudate temperature and extrusion process was found to lie in the capabilities of predicting the temperature evolution during transient extrusion, as affected by extrusion conditions. The relationship between ram speed and the extrudate temperature increase from the initial billet temperature was established and experimentally validated.

Major Factors

In the cross wedge rolling process, many factors must be controlled to obtain the required plastic strain and desired tolerance values. The major factors include the wedge relative velocity, the forming angle, the spreading angle, and sectional reduction. This paper uses rigid-plastic finite element (FE) DEFORMTM 3D software to investigate the plastic deformation behavior of an aluminum alloy (A7075) workpiece as it is processed for cross wedge rolling. This study analyzes the effective strain, the effective stress, and the X-axial load distribution of the workpiece under various rolling conditions. Furthermore, using simulation software to analyze the changes to the microstructure by the rolling process, this study presents analytical results that confirm the suitability of the current finite element software for cross wedge rolling.

Based on the rigid-plastic deformation finite element method and the heat transfer theories, the forming process of cross wedge rolling was simulated with the finite element software DEFORM-3D. The temperature field of the rolled piece during the forming process was analyzed. The results show that the temperature gradient in the outer of the work-piece is sometimes very large and temperature near the contact deformation zone is the lowest while temperature near the center of the rolled-piece keeps relatively stable and even rises slightly. Research results provide a basis for further study on metal flow and accurate shaping of work-piece during cross wedge rolling.

In port crane industry, the surface hardening technique is widely used in order to improve the strength of wheel. But the hardening depth is chosen only by according to the experience, and the effect of different hardened depths is not studied theoretically. In this paper, the contact stresses in wheel with different hardening depth have been analyzed by applying three-dimensional finite element model. Based on this model, the ANSYS10.0 finite element software is used. The elastic wheel is used to verify the numerical results with the Hertz’s theory. Three different hardening depths, namely 10mm, 25mm and whole hardened wheel, under three different vertical loads were applied. The effect of hardening depth of a surface hardened wheel is discussed by comparing the contact stresses and contact areas from the numerical results.

Taking the concrete face cock-fill dam upper reservoir of Tianchi as an example, the stress and deformation characteristics of concrete face rock-fill dam are studied in-depth in this paper. The article builds a fine three-dimensional finite element model of Tianchi upper reservoir by a nonlinear elastic model of the finite element software ADINA. The stress and deformation of the two conditions under completion and storage for the dam are calculated ,which will be analyzed to obtain stress - strain distribution of the dam in two conditions, comparing dam stress and deformation before and after impoundment to get impact of the water pressure on the dam stress and deformation: comparing after impoundment and completion , the dam water level displacement of upstream side from role of horizontal water pressure will increase , the dam upstream offsets to downstream , but the offset is little ; Due to dam is affected by vertical hydrostatic pressure and uplift pressure after impoundment , the dam settlement is slightly less than the completion in storage.
