| Abstract: | Whether the proposed mechanical model fits in the nature of technology is the key to solving the problems during three dimensional simulation of power spinning. The study of mechanical model includes: the definition of the contour of contact zone and processing the velocity and frictional force boundary conditions on contact zone. The movement locus of roller surface is a spiral cone and contact zone between roller and workpiece is a part of cone surface of roller. So the contour of the contact zone is intersected by roller cone surface, spiral cone surface and cylindrical surfaces. In this paper, a solution to defining the contour and applying space restriction of the contact zone was proposed. Considering the sudden change in the direction of foctional force on the contact zone during power spinning, an inverse tangential frictional model was adopted to solve the problem. So a new mechanical model comes into being and the 3 - D FEM simulation results prove it to be right. |
