in this study, an extended stress-based forming limit diagram (fld) for prediction of necking based on the marciniak and kucznski (m-k) model is represented and applied in tube hydroforming. the bulge forming of a straight tube is simulated by finite element method and verified with published experimental data. this adaptive simulation technique is based on the ability to detect the onset and g...

In this study, "Buckling Limit of Strain" (B.L.S.) is introduced as one of the most important limiting factors in cold roll forming process. B.L.S. is calculated by the finite element procedure. Then for two particular processes with existing analysis and experimental results, B.L.S. has been determined and evaluated. LUSAS 12.3 is used for finite element analysis. The results show that when bu...
