This study simulated the deformation of a hot runner manifold and nozzle assembly during operation, aiming to address potential leaks premature failure. Both thermal mechanical models were used simultaneously accurately capture system behavior. A simplified set boundary conditions was proposed for efficient problem-solving. Analysis simulation results revealed that posed risk catastrophic failu...

The purpose of this study is to develop a forging process of automotive parts that satisfies the deformation characteristics. The analyses of temperature variation and deformation behavior of the material are important to obtain the optimal forging products. The hot compression test was carried out to know formability at high temperature. In order to define the optimum forging conditions includ...

The viscoplastic deformation of polycrystals under uniaxial loading is investigated to determine the relationship between hot spots in stress and their location in relation to the microstructure. A 3D full-field formulation based on fast Fourier transforms for the prediction of the viscoplastic deformation of poly-crystals is used with rate-sensitive crystal plasticity. Two measured polycrystal...
