Finite element calculation of thermal coupling between workpiece and tools in forging

M.P. Miles, L. Fourment, J.L. Chenot

A finite‐element model for calculating the die temperatureprofile for a hot‐forging operation is presented. The workpieceis modelled as a thermo‐viscoplastic material, while the…

A dynamic explicit/rigid‐plastic finite element formulation and its application to sheet metal forming processes

D.W. Jung, D.J. Yoo, D.Y. Yang

In the present work a rigid‐plastic finite elementformulation using a dynamic explicit time integration scheme isproposed for numerical analysis of sheet metal formingprocesses…

An efficient 4‐node 24 D.O.F. thick shell finite element with 5‐point quadrature

Albert A. Groenwold, Nielen Stander

A 4‐node flat shell quadrilateral finiteelement with 6 degrees of freedom per node, denoted QC5D‐SA, ispresented. The element is an assembly of a modification of thedrilling…

Fluid‐structure interaction: application to structures in an acoustic fluid medium, part 1: an introduction to numerical treatment

F.H. Hamdan, P.J. Dowling

This paper is concerned with the treatment offluid‐structure interaction problems. The paper is divided in anumber of sections. The first is an introduction to thehistorical…

Fluid‐structure interaction: application to structures in an acoustic fluid medium, part 2: literature review on near‐field and far‐field fluid formulations

F. H. Hamdan, P. J. Dowling

This paper, which is concerned with fluid‐structure interactionanalysis, is a sequel to our earlier paper which gave an introduction to thenumerical treatment of such systems. The…
