The internal hydroforming of large stainless-steel eggshells from a stepped preform is investigated in this paper. nominal major and minor axes the eggshell were 1537 1070 mm, respectively. was fabricated thin-walled (1.9 mm thick) sheets comprised twelve conical segments inscribed inside target eggshell. then hydroformed, its wall thickness shape measured. yield load distribution material hard...

In ultrasonic tube hydroforming, the tube is hydro formed while the ultrasonic vibration is applied to the die. Prior studies provide experimental proof that ultrasonic tube hydroforming reduces corner radius, improves lubrication and uniform thickness. Use of ultrasonic vibration can decrease friction at the tube-die interface. Few attempts have been made to analyze the wire drawing while the ...

In this paper, hydroforming process of bent tubes in T-shaped die is studied for pulsating and linear pressure paths by the finite element method. Forming Limit Diagrams (FLDs) and thickness distribution curves are used to investigate the effect of pulsating pressure on hydroforming process. In addition, the obtained numerical results are compared with experimental results of hydroforming of st...

Hydroforming processes of metal tubes and sheets are being widely applied in manufacturing because the increasing demand for lightweight parts sectors such as automobile, aerospace, ship-building industries [...]

this paper presents a control model of the hydroforming and the dual hydroforming process of atube. the theoretical part includes calculations to measure the change in tube thickness through thedeveloped process. the hydroforming and the dual hydroforming processes are simulated in thesolidsimulation software and the static and the dynamic simulations are modeled. theobtained results for the t-...

determination of the optimum loading path (internal pressure- axial feeding) to restrict the bursting, buckling and wrinkling through tube hydroforming process is necessary to produce an acceptable tube. in this paper, the wrinkling and fracture criteria are implemented to an finite element code devoted to the simulation of tube hydroforming processes. using the ansys parametric design language...

Hydroforming patch technology for damaged screen pipes is designed based on tube hydroforming technology, and the methods determining forming pressure range defects are selected according to process. The model established technical demand parameters pipe repair. From mechanical properties of material digital–analog comparison analysis formability, it found that determiners formability (such as ...

in recent years, the hydroforming due to reduction in weight and increase in strength of automotive parts has attracted attention of the automotive industry. thus, the knowledge of the process to produce parts with desired quality and accuracy has been growing. one of the effective methods in improving the formability in the hydroforming is known as pulsating hydroforming. however, the reason o...
