Forging process simulation

Submitted by vicky_raizada on

Hello friends,

I am doing My Graduation in Mechanical, right now i am on a project and want to simulate Forging cylinderical billets in order to optimise the process parameters, hence it is required to optimize the process parameters like temp., speed , stroke, material flow etc. as a function of Die design and friction. I want to simulate it in ANSYS plz help me how to go for it, because finally i want stress, strain rate, strain, material flow as the final  result.

FEA ANSYS WORKBENCH VERSION 12.1.0

Submitted by ahsan_552 on

hello

 this is my first post on this website

 i am a undergraduate student workin on my dessertation

i have a rectangular plate thickness 2mm dimensions 150 X 50 mm. there are 2 V notch on the plate and a crack is meant to b growin between the V notch that are 

at an angle of 45°. 

i am not good on FEA if some one could please help me with a tutorial to do the problem on FEA and numerical calculations with stress intensity factor, crack growth rate and modelling stresses on the plate.

 

mesh dependence of continuum damage mechanics approach

Submitted by setareh on

Hello Everyone,

I am a beginner in FEA of composites under impact in commercial explicit code Pam Crash.I want to know why the behaviour of composite plies with CDM approach show mesh dependency?Or a more general question for me is that what makes the FE simulation of a material with strain softening behavior mesh dependence(If this conclusion is right)? Does it make any difference with regard to mesh dependency if one uses implicit codes??

Thanks

Setareh
