Currently tube hydroforming has many studies and applications in manufacturing industry, especially in automotive industry. But tube hydroforming was applied to the automotive component with simple shape. So the manufacturer and the researcher proposed additional processes to form the automotive component with complex shape. It is prebending and preforming. Prebending is to crush bend or rotary draw bend a tubular blank into a shape that facilitates placement into the next forming tool. Preforming is where the prebent tube is crushed into a shape that facilitates placement into the final forming tool. This paper analyzed and compared to the tube hydroforming process to using of general and preformed bending tube, also explained the importance of tube bending and preforming process. The explicit finite element program PAM-STAMP$\^$TM/ was used to simulate the tube hydroforming operations.

Recently the plastic fuel tube is usually used to reduce production cost and weight in automobiles. These days, material used to plastic fuel tube is the polyamide12. The fuel tube is made of the PA12. Post deformation of the tube has been changed by environmental temperature. So, it is important to prevent post deformation. The experiment is performed to investigate post deformation of the tube produced by each bending process. In this study, the results we obtained are used to bending process system for post deformation as the environmental temperature of the tube. It turned out that the method of steam heating and air cooling was shown less deformation than other methods.

This paper presents the experimental and theoretical results of SUS 304 stainless tubes with different diameter-to-thickness ratio (D/t ratio) subjected to pure bending creep. Pure bending creep occurs when a circular tube is bent to a desired moment and held at that moment for a period of time. It was found that the magnitudes of the creep curvature and ovalization of tube cross-section increase faster with a higher hold moment than that with a lower one. Due to continuously increasing curvature, the circular tubes eventually buckle. Finally, a theoretical form was proposed in this study so that it can be used to describe the relationship between the creep curvature and time. Theoretical simulations are compared with the experimental test data, showing that good agreement between the experimental and theoretical results has been achieved.

The wall thickness of the Ti-6Al-4V Large-Diameter Seamless Tube, which is supposed to be a very important parameter in a system design, was measured during $360^{\circ}$ cold bending processes. The factors or processes affecting the wall thickness include 1) primary bending, 2)secondary or finishing step of the $360^{\circ}$ bending, 3)cleaning processes in CERO TRUTM(CT)process. But thinning effects of the wall thickness during the cleaning processes are negligible compared to those during the formers. The variations in the percentages of the change in wall thickness were found to be from -14% to +16%.

Proper material constitutive models for concrete-filled tube (CFT) columns of circular cross section and subjected to pure bending moment are proposed. These material models are implemented into the Abaqus finite element program and verified against experimental data. It has been shown that the steel tube does not provide good confining effect to the concrete core when the CFT columns is subjected to pure bending moment. When the diameter-to-thickness ratio of the CFT columns is small, the behavior of the CFT column is the same as the steel tube without a concrete core.

This paper describes effect of the bending deformation of high voltage composite bushing with winding tension. The composite bushing can be formed, by adding silicone rubber sheds to a tube of composite materials. The FRP tube is internal insulating part of a composite bushing and is designed to ensure the mechanical characteristics. Generally the properties of FRP tube can be influenced by the winding angle, wall thickness and winding tension. As winding tension is increased glass contents was increased in the range of 70.4~76.6%. In the bending test, winding tension is increased residual deflection was decreased in the range of 14.0~12.2 mm.

The static analysis of spinning functionally graded (FG) nanotube on the basis of the nonlocal strain gradient theory (NSGT) is presented. The high-order beam theory is employed for mathematical modeling of the tube structures according to the Sinusoidal shear deformation beam theory. The energy conservation principle is operated to generate the equations. The centrifugal force is assumed along the tube length due to the rotating of the tube, moreover, the nanotube is made of functionally graded material (FGM) composed of ceramic and metal phases along the tube radius direction. The generalized differential quadratic method (GDQM) is utilized to solve the formulations. Finally, the numerical results are discussed in detail to examine the impact of different relevant parameters on the bending the buckling behavior of the rotating nanotube.
