A computer simulation of the internal pressure expanding was  performed for pipes with uneven wall thickness made of steel, aluminum and titanium alloys. For this simulation software tool ESI Virtual-Performance 2016.0 was used that implements the finite element  method. The convergence and accuracy of the solution was estimated  by comparison with known solutions. A full factorial computational  experiment was performed by varying factors: the initial wall thickness variation of pipes, D/S and parameter of alloys hardening. The  regression equations were obtained by the internal pressure at the time  of destruction and final wall thickness variation from these factors. It  was found that the variation in wall thickness in the distribution pipe  rupture occurs in the thin wall. A wall with minimum thickness continues thinning with an almost constant maximum wall thickness, which  leads to an increase in the transverse variation in wall thickness. It was  concluded that the increase of the initial variation in wall thickness  pipe speeds up the process of rupture in the area of thin wall. It is recommended in conduits conducting high-pressure fluid to apply pipes  with minimal variation in wall thickness.

In conventional spinning of cones, the cone-wall thickness variation was studied using blanks of 1100-0 commercially pure aluminum sheet of 0.050-in. thickness. The results revealed that the radial stress induced in the unspun flange is the major cause of nonuniform wall thickness of spun cones. The theoretical tangential force component was derived by use of the deformation energy method. Qualitative agreement was found between the theoretical and the experimental values of tangential force component in the underspinning conditions.

Cardiovascular disease of major and minor arteries is a common cause of death in Western society. The wall mechanics and haemodynamics within the arteries are considered to be important factors in the disease formation process. This paper is concerned with the development of an efficient computer-integrated technique to manufacture idealized and realistic models of diseased major and minor arteries from radiological images and to address the issue of model wall thickness variability. Variations in wall thickness from the original computer models to the final castings are quantified using a CCD camera. The results found that wall thickness variation from the major and minor idealized artery models to design specification were insignificant, up to a maximum of 16 per cent. In realistic models, however, differences were up to 23 per cent in the major arterial models and 58 per cent in the minor arterial models, but the wall thickness variability remained within the limits of previously reported wall thickness results. It is concluded that the described injection moulding procedure yields idealized and realistic castings suitable for use in experimental investigations, with idealized models giving better agreement with design. Wall thickness is variable and should be assessed after the models are manufactured.

Internal high pressure forming is a kind of the modern plastic processing technology. Using liquid as the pressure transmitting medium, explore the effect of internal high pressure parameter on the three passing pipe technique, internal high pressure forming technique is applied on the three-dimensional shape parts deformation. In this study, we simulate the three-way pipe process by finite element software, analyze the forming force influence to the tube forming quality and get the changeable regulation of the pipe wall thickness with conclusion of the wall thickness variation, which provides the reference data and guidance for the actual production of the three-way pipe.

In this study, porthole die used for extrusion of a solid heatsink profile with wall thickness variation ratio up to 15.3 was designed using finite element (FE) simulations. To improve the flow balance in the die, a design approach was introduced to find the appropriate die structure, which includes the porthole and pocket geometry correction, the bearing length adjustment, and the port bridge structure modification. Using the proposed die, the predicted velocity relative difference (VRD) and the maximum velocity difference (ΔV) of extrudate were significantly lower than those of an initial die, which was preliminarily designed based on general design experiences. The required extrusion force and the residual stress in the product were also reduced significantly. Then, the effects of the port bridge structure and welding chamber height on the behavior of the metal flow in the die were investigated. To verify the proposed die design, experimental extrusions were conducted on a 930-ton extruder. The experiment results showed that the extruded product fulfilled the requirements for dimensional tolerances. The design approach presented in this paper can be useful for practical implementation of die design when extruding similar solid heatsink profiles with large wall thickness variation.
