The arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian(ALE) finite element analysis is applied to the axisymmetric hot extrusion through continuous dies. In order to simulate hot forming problems, an ALE scheme for temperature analysis is proposed. The computed results are compared with experimental results as with those by pure Lagrangian method. In the present study mesh control is accomplished by the use of isoparametric mapping of quadrilaterals.

In the case of hollow cylinder extrusion using porthole die, the effects of extrusion parameters-temperature, the speed of extrusion, the shape of the die and mandrel-on metal flow in porthole die extrusion of aluminum have been investigated. There have been few studies about condenser tube extruded by porthole die. This study was designed to evaluate metal flow, welding pressure, extrusion load, tendency of mandrel deflection according to variation of chamber length in porthole die. The welding chamber height in condenser tube was calculated by using finite element method. Forming analysis results for condenser tube would provide useful information for the optimal design of porthole die.

This study uses finite element analysis to evaluate the forming load of tool entrance angle of the cold forward extrusion molding process of helical gear; this can replace the spur gear applied to the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system. A cold forging process is often used in the automobile industry as well as in various industrial machines due to its high efficiency. Finite element analysis is frequently used when interpreting results of the forging process. Formality was evaluated by calculating tooth profile filling rate of helical gear. Change in required forming load was investigated when the entrance angle of forward extrusion tool die was changed from $30^{\circ}$ to $60^{\circ}$, also by finite element analysis. We suggest suitable tool entrance angles.

Most of bulk metal forming processes may be limited by ductile fracture such as surface or internal cracks developing in the workpiece. It is important to identify the conditions within the deforming workpiece which may lead to fracture, and then it is possible to modify the forming processes to produce sound and reliable product. This paper suggests the scheme to simultaneously accomplish prediction of fracture initiation and analysis of deformation in metal forming processes. The Cockcroft-Latham criterion which is successfully applied to a variety of loading situations is used in the present investigation to estimate whether fracture occurs during the deformation process. The numerical predictions and experimental results of two types of metal forming process are compared, axisymmetric extrusion and simple upsetting. The proposed scheme has successfully predicted the fracture initiation found experimentally.

This study aimsdetecting defects for the forming precesses of X2 spline, which is designed by an industry expert. The exist process consists of 3 runs and 7 operations with 3 heat treatments. The rigid-plastic FEM analysis was carried out to design a new process and some defects were found. Thus the design was modified to get better results. it is ocnfirmed that the industry expert agree the possibility of defects derived from the FEM results.

A kinematically-admissible velocity field is proposed to determine the forming load the average extruded length and the velocity distribution in the forward and backward extrusion process of a socket. Experiments are carried out with antimony-lead billets at room temperature using the rectangular punch and the hexagonal die. The theoretical predictions of the forming load and the average extruded length are in good agreement with the experimental results.

An upper bound elemental technique(UBET) has been carried out to predict the forming load, the deformation pattern and the extrude length of the lateral extrusion of a spider for the automotive universal joint. For the upper bound analysis, a kinematically admissible velocity field(KAVF) is proposed. From the proposed velocity field, the upper bound load, the deformation pattern and the average length of the extruded billets are determined by minimizing the total energy consumption rate which is a function of unknown velocities at each element. Experiments are carried out with antimony-lead billets at room temperature using the rectangular shape punch. The theoretical prediction of the forming load, the deformation pattern and the extruded length are good in agreement with the experimental results.

As a macromolecule material, melted rubber flow shows characteristics of shear thinning fluid. The dynamic viscosity of this rubber fluid is influenced by temperature and shear strain rate. In this study, the numerical simulation of rubber extrusion forming process has been performed using commercial CFD code, Polyflow. Power-law model considering the effect of shear rate is used for the computer simulation of this non-Newyonian flow. Also Non-isothermal behavior is considered as Arrhenius-law model. Distributions of velocity and temperature are predicted through the simulation.

Internal spline forming using a thin and long tube can cause the buckling and folding during the forming process. In the study, we proposed two different extrusion processes, and we performed the analysis in order to obtain the optimal process according to the length of land part. Using the rigid-plastic finite element simulation, the proposed processes have been compared by checking the deformed shape and stroke-road relation.

The calculation of the total power required at the Continuous Extrusion Forming(CONFORM) has been performed by the theoretical analysis of three transformation regions(primary grip length and extrusion grip length, flashing). In this study, that was performed by five transformation regions(biting, upsetting, filling, extruding, flashing)and four transformation regions(biting, upsetting and filling, extruding, flashing) and then results of theoretical analyses were compared with experimental results. Results of analysis by four and five transformation regions than that of three transformation regions in the CONFORM showed in a good agreement with experimental results.
