A Study on Arbitrary Cross Section Shaped Three-Dimensional Extruion with Upper Bound Method-Finite Element Method Couple

임의 단면 형상의 3차원 압출에 대한 상계해법-유한요소법 Couple에 관한 연구

The extrusion velocity of billet through a die and the shapes of the die are the important factors in the metal forming process of the extrusion of billet. in recent years, the life cycle of products is goingfaster. Although the former finite element method was capable of yielding a detailed analysis, it requires lots of time and extensive coding effort. Then, some simple devices were developed and based on upper bound method. For this purpose , a kinematically admiasible velocity field is formulated for extrusion of cylinders with arbitrary cross section and die profile on their outer surfaces by using a modified upper bound approach, which configures simulataneous extruding speeds in three directions . Also, In order to display mesh of the cold forward extrusion process using the approach , the automatic three-dimentional mesh generation produced by the approach coupled finite element method with upper bound method.
