An upper bound method for the process of plane strain extrusion through a wedge-shaped die is derived. A technique for constructing a kinematically admissible velocity field satisfying the exact asymptotic singular behavior of real velocity fields in the vicinity of maximum friction surfaces (the friction stress at sliding is equal to the shear yield stress on such surfaces) is described. Two specific upper bound solutions are found using the method derived. The solutions are compared to an accurate slip-line solution and it is shown that the accuracy of the new method is very high.

Bound Theorem

A method for selecting admissible velocity fields is presented for incompressible material. As illustrations, extrusion processes through three basic types of curved dies have been treated: cosine, elliptic, and hyperbolic. Upper-bound theorem is used in obtaining mean extrusion pressures and also in choosing the most suitable deformation pattern for extrusion through square dies. Effects of die geometry, friction, and material properties are discussed.

This paper is concerned with an attempt to find an upper bound solution for the problems of steady-state extrusion of asymmetric polygonal section bars through rough square dies. A class of kinematically admissible velocity fields is examined, reformulating the SERR technique, to get the velocity field that gives the lowest upper bound. This velocity field is utilized to compute the non-dimensional average extrusion pressure at various area reductions for different billet aspect ratios.

Flow Through

A variety of mathematical models may be used to analyze plastic deformation during a metal-forming process. One of these methods—limit analysis—places the estimate of required power between an upper bound and a lower bound. The upper- and lower-bound analysis are designed so that the actual power or forming stress requirement is less than that predicted by the upper bound and greater than that predicted by the lower bound. Finding a lower upper-bound and a higher lower-bound reduces the uncertainty of the actual power requirement. Upper and lower bounds will permit the determination of such quantities as required forces, limitations on the process, optimal die design, flow patterns, and prediction and prevention of defects. Fundamental to the development of both upper-bound and lower-bound solutions is the division of the body into zones. For each of the zones there is written either a velocity field (upper bound) or a stress field (lower bound). A better choice of zones and fields brings the calculated values closer to actual values. In the present work, both upper- and lower-bound solutions are presented for plane-strain flow through inclined converging dies. For the upper bound, trapezoidal velocity fields, uni-triangular velocity fields, and multi-triangular velocity fields have been dealt with and the solutions compared to previously published work on cylindrical velocity fields. It was found that in different domains of the various combinations of the process parameters, different patterns of flow (cylindrical, triangular, etc.) provide lower upper-bound solutions. The lower-bound solution for plane-strain flow through inclined converging planes is newly developed.

Formal Requirements

The choice of a kinematically admissible velocity field has a great effect on the predictive capacity of upper bound solutions. It is always advantageous, in addition to the formal requirements of the upper bound theorem, to select a class of velocity fields satisfying some additional conditions that follow from the exact formulation of the problem. In the case of maximum friction law, such an additional condition is that the real velocity field is singular in the vicinity of the friction surface. In the present paper this additional condition is incorporated in the class of kinematically admissible velocity fields chosen for a theoretical analysis of two - layer cylinders subject to compression and twist. An effect of the angular velocity of the die on process parameters is emphasized and discussed.

Following Part I which investigated an upper bound approach to plane strain deformation of a rigid, perfectly plastic material, this Part II considers the same approach as applied to actual forming operations. The processes of drawing and extrusion, of metal cutting and of rolling are analyzed, and explicit equations are developed to calculate the surfaces of velocity discontinuity (shear boundaries), velocity discontinuities, and the upper bound on power for these processes. Both the simple, unielement velocity fields as well as the more complex multielement fields are explored. The upper bound solution is shown to be a function of the independent (input) and pseudoindependent (assumed) process parameters as minimized by an optimization procedure. Rules concerning the assumption of pseudoindependent parameters are presented and the optimization procedure is discussed. Final conclusions lead the way for the application of upper bound analyses to such industrial processes as sheet and strip drawing, extrusion, forging, rolling, leveling, ironing and machining, and to the investigation of such flow failure modes as central bursting, piping and end splitting (alligatoring).

Mean Strain

An upper bound solution, based on a kinematically admissible velocity field, is proposed for plane-strain symmetrical extrusion through wedge-shaped dies. The pattern chosen consists of a double-triangle arrangement of velocity discontinuities and the solution was optimized using a digital computer programme. Analysis of the results for a full range of die angles, reductions and frictional conditions provides useful predictions relating to the formation of dead zones. Such an analysis is given in detail for a 90° die. The results obtained compare favourably with the predictions of analytical slip-line field solutions in the regions where such solutions are available. The solution is also extended to accommodate the strain-hardening characteristics of the material. These results show that the alternative mean strain hypothesis is prone to errors in the presence of friction. This solution also yields an indication of the nature of the hardness distribution across the extruded product with particular reference to the effects of die geometry and reduction in area.

Good Agreement

In this paper, plane strain extrusion through arbitrarily curved dies is investigated analytically, numerically, and experimentally. Two kinematically admissible velocity fields based on assuming proportional angles, angular velocity field, and proportional distances from the midline in the deformation zone, sine velocity field, are developed for use in upper bound models. The relative average extrusion pressures for the two velocity fields are compared to each other and also with the velocity field of a reference for extrusion through a curved die. The results demonstrate that the angular velocity field is the best. Then, by using the developed analytical model, optimum die lengths which minimize the extrusion loads are determined for a streamlined die and also for a wedge shaped die. The corresponding results for those two die shapes are also determined by using the finite element code and by doing some experiments and are compared with upper bound results. These comparisons show a good agreement.

AbstractThe degree of interactions between fibers and the tendency of fibers to form flocs play an important role in effective unit operation in pulp and paper industry. Mechanical treatments may damage the structure of the fiber cell wall and geometrical properties, and ultimately change the fiber-fiber interactions. In this study, the gel crowding number, compressive and shear yield stress of fibrillated acacia pulps were investigated, and the results showed that the gel crowding number of the refined pulp samples ranged from 8.7 to 10.7, which were much lower than that of un-refined pulps. As the concentration increased, both the compressive yield stress {P_{y}} and shear yield stress {\tau _{y}} of all suspensions increased accordingly, and the yield stress was found to depend on a power law of the crowding number. Moreover, the values of {\tau _{y}}/{P_{y}} were also examined and the variation of {\tau _{y}}/{P_{y}} became largely dependent on the fiber morphology and mass concentration.

The upper bound of the average ram pressure, based on an assumed radial flow velocity field, is derived for plane strain extrusion. Ram pressures are calculated for a complete range of reduction ratios and die angles, considering a wide range of frictional conditions. Results are compared with upper-bound ram pressures obtained by considering velocity fields other than the radial flow field, and it is shown that for a considerable range of reduction ratios and die angles, the radial flow field yields better upper bounds for the average ram pressure.
