Finite element method analysis of surface roughness transfer in micro flexible rolling

Micro flexible rolling aims to fabricate submillimeter thick strips with varying thickness profile, where the surface quality of products is mainly determined by initial workpiece surface roughness and subsequent surface asperity flattening process, which is affected by process parameters during rolling. This paper shows a 3D finite element model for flexible rolling of a 250 μm thick workpiece...

Analysis of Strain Inhomogeneity in Vortex Extrusion using Finite Element Method and Response Surface Methodology

The effect of geometrical parameters involved in vortex extrusion (VE) die design, on AA1050 aluminium alloy processed by VE were investigated using finite element analysis (FEA) and response surface methodology (RSM). For this, VE die length (L), reduction in area (RA), twist angle , and position of control points in Beziers' formulation (C1) were considered as input parameters and strain inho...

Analysis of Surface Roughness and Micro-hardness in Roller Burnishing of Aluminum Alloy 6061

Burnishing is a chip-less finishing process, in which a hard roller or ball presses the surface layer of part to perform plastic deformation in the surface layer and produce improved finish, enhanced hardness and compressive residual stresses on the surface of special materials such as Aluminum and Brass. In the following research, the effect of input parameters such as feed rate, cutting speed...

A Proposed Modeling Method in Finite Element Slope Stability Analysis

Limit-equilibrium method (LEM) and finite element method (FEM) with strength reduction method (SRM) techniques are the most widely used analysis tools in slope stability assessment. Recently, researchers have reported that both factor of safety (FOS) values and failure surfaces obtained from LEM and FEM are generally in good agreement, except in some particular cases. In this paper, the FOS and...
