Combined experimental and numerical analysis of bulge test at high strain rates using split Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus

High strain rate bulge test technique which is introduced in this paper adopts a rubber-pad as pressure carrying medium to bulge a sheet metal at high velocity using split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system. The experimental set-up is based on conventional hydraulic bulge test which is modified to mount on SHPB. The thickness thinning of the sheet metal during the test will be considered as a measure of true strain of the bulged sheet. The theoretical approach is developed in this study to attain pressure–strain curves of sheet metals during high strain rate bulge forming process. This approach is followed by a finite element simulation of the process in ABAQUS/Explicit software. To verify the developed method, analytical and finite element methods are compared with experiments.     

Investigation on deformation behavior of sheet metals in viscous pressure bulging based on ESPI

In order to analyze the effect of viscous medium on the deformation behavior of sheet metals in viscous pressure bulging (VPB), the entire deformation process including instability and fracture was investigated real-timely by the aid of electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI). Images of speckle patterns were captured continuously to obtain fringe patterns representing the full field strain rate. Values of strain rates were calculated based on the fringe patterns. The evolution of the weak region from the initial defect to the groove until crack was also observed through the fringe patterns. The onset of diffuse and localized necking were determined qualitatively and quantitatively. Experimental results show that the deformation of sheet metals in VPB passed through five states, namely, uniform deformation, strain localization, diffuse necking, localized necking and fracture. A defect emerged in strain localization. The growth of the defect caused the diffuse necking and generated a groove. The groove expanded mainly in length direction until the localized necking occurred. Finally the specimen fractured as a result of groove deepening. The tangential adhesive stress provided by viscous medium in VPB restricted the locally larger strain of the specimen. The diffuse necking was postponed greatly. Theoretical prediction of the limit strains of sheet metals in VPB would be made based on the experimental results in further work.     

Research on sheet-metal flexible-die forming using a magnetorheological fluid

Related studies showed that viscosity has a great effect on the formability of sheet metal in viscous pressure forming. However, the viscosity of viscous medium keeps constant in VPF. In this paper, a new flexible-die forming method for sheet metal using magnetorheological (MR) fluids, magnetorheological pressure forming (MRPF), is proposed, which enables the viscosity of flexible-die medium adjustable by changing the magnetic fields during the forming process. Squeezing tests of MR fluid show that its rheological behavior can be changed greatly under different magnetic fields. Magnetorheological pressure bulging tests of Al1060 sheet are conducted on the self-designed experimental apparatus. Experimental results show that MR fluids can be used effectively as a flexible-die medium to form the parts and its rheological behavior can be adjusted during bulging process. Variation of MR fluid's rheological behavior can lead to different forming pressure load paths and have an effect on sheet metal formability. For the same piston stroke of 8.0 mm, when the magnetic flux density is 0.180 T and 0.318 T, average dome height of bulging specimen is 8.71 mm and 10.61 mm, respectively. The value increases significantly by 21.8%. At the same time, the maximum thickness strain increases from −9.2% to −23.0%.     

Viscous warm pressure bulging process of AZ31B magnesium alloy with different ellipticity dies

Based on the bulging principle of different ellipticity dies, the methyl vinyl silicone rubber with excellent thermal stability and heat transfer performance was chosen as the viscous medium. The finite element analysis and experiments of viscous warm pressure bulging (VWPB) of AZ31B magnesium alloy were conducted to analyze the influence of different ellipticity dies on the formability of AZ31B magnesium alloy. At the same time, based on the grid strain rule, the forming limit diagram (FLD) of VWPB of AZ31B magnesium alloy was obtained through measuring the strain of bulging specimens. The results showed that at the temperature range of viscous medium thermal stability, the viscous medium can fit the geometry variation of sheet and generate non-uniform pressure field, and as the die ellipticity increases, the difference value of non-uniform pressure reduces. Meanwhile, according to the FLD, the relationship between part complexity and ultimate deformation was investigated.
