A second order scheme for the time discretization of the elasto-plastic or elasto-viscoplastic behavior is proposed, based on a velocity approach. The complete set of equations is given for the evolution problem in the case of small rotations approximation. The method is quite general and may be applied to a large class of constitutive equations. The finite element discretization is briefly outlined and it is shown that the procedure is quite similar to that of previous displacement formulations. A numerical example concerning the sheet metal forming process, with an elasto-viscoplastic behavior and a membrane approximation, is presented. The numerical tests show a considerable improvement in accuracy for a given increment of time.

This study aims to find a solution to improve the formability in a deep drawing process. For this purpose drawbeads were used to avoid wrinkles and ruptures. The finite element method was applied to simulate the 3D metal forming process using a die and drawbead. The drawbead amount, position, size and form were studied for their affects on the formability. 3 drawbead patterns with 3 different heights were examined. The simulation was performed for each drawbead pattern and each drawbead geometrical parameter and the failure elements were counted. The best pattern chosen was the pattern that resulted in the least failure elements.

Hot extrusion is a metal forming process with a huge importance in the manufacturing of long metallic bars with complex shapes, and because of this, academics and industries are especially interested in better understanding how metal flows during the process. In order to have a reliable computational tool that can help to solve and to obtain material internal flow, experimental tests and numerical simulation with the finite element method were carried out to obtain results of the velocity fields generated in hot direct extrusion of aluminum billets (aluminum alloy 6351). The experimental results of the velocity field will be used to validate a computational code based on the finite volume method.

Deep drawing is a very important metal forming process. Thin steel sheet is important material for manufacture of numerous products with deep drawing and stamping. Cold working provides also the possibility of making parts of various shapes, from the simplest to those with a high degree of complexity whose execution through other methods is uneconomical, difficult and sometimes even impossible. In this paper it is analyzed both experimentally and with the help of the finite element, the behavior of the blank during the cylindrical cup deep drawing process, using the ANSYS software program and the finite element method. A comparison is realized between the experimental and the analytical results, elaborating a representative set of problems that analyze the variation of the die punch clearance, movement of the punch and with or without lubrication. The results of the research are useful in developing a sensible design of experiments.

This paper presents results of theoretical and experimental research works on metal forming process of a hub. A typical technology of forging on hammer of this part with flash was discussed. Two new processes of a hub forging were proposed, characterized by large material savings in comparison with typical technology. The first process is based on forming without flash of a forging with axial cavity. The second one is connected with forming of forging from pipe billet. The realization of these processes is possible at the application of a press with three movable working tools. Theoretical research works were done on the basis of simulations by means of finite element method. Simulations were made mainly in order to determine kinematics of material flow in forging processes and precision of shape and dimensions of obtained products. The first of the proposed processes was experimentally verified and a product of good quality was obtained. Material consumption of the analyzed processes and other factors acting on their effectiveness were also compared.
