A Finite Element Analysis of Electromagnetic Forming for Tube Expansion

전자기 확관성형의 유한요소 해석

The analysis of electromagnetic forming process consists of the analysis of the electric circuit and the dynamic deformation analysis. The purpose of the electric circuit analysis is to calculate the magnetic pressure and to apply it to the deformation analysis. Some investigators performed the analysis assuming the pressure distribution in longitudinal direction. However there was a difference between the calculated and experimental results. The difference mainly came from the assumption of the pressure distribution. One must know the magnetic field distribution in an actual situation for the analysis to be less erroneous. In this work the electromagnetic field analysis was performed by the finite element method to obtain a more realistic pressure distribution. A better agreement between the calculated and experimental results was obtained. It became possible to predict the deformation behavior of the workpiece of finite length.
