Some experiences of shape‐forming process: experiments and numerical simulations

Abstract

Proposes the particle model as an improved finite element method for the analysis of metal forming, particularly highlighting the forging process. Analyses the forged material in the present modelling in conjunction with non‐material domain, and expresses the process not by the finite element deformation, but by the “movable particle” which discriminates the material domain. This “fixed mesh” algorithm gives the capabilities treating metal forging problems easily. Demonstrates the effectiveness of the method using some applications.
