Hydroforming is a forming process enabling circular metal tubes to be produced in complex cross sections along curved axial paths. This forming process is widely used to manufacture parts in automotive industry. This paper presents bending and forming results to following angle of weld line positions. These compare to good bending, bad bending and without weld line model case. And then this result of after forming compare to each forming cases. The purpose of this paper is found that adaptive weld line position for bended final shape.

Fiber spinning is a continuous deformation process by which material is converted into a fiber. The melt spinning process was analyzed mainly by employing an asymptotic method of the so-called thin filament equations which formulates dynamics of spinning process by averaging over the cross-section of filament the set of fundamental equations. The method gives the approximate results for commonly used circular fiber spinning.(omitted)

Hydroforming is a metal forming process that enables circular metal tubes to be formed in to the parts with the complex cross section along the curved axial direction. Recently this hydroforming process is largely used for the production of the automotive parts. This paper presents the results of tube bending and hydroforming simulations in cases of the varying weld line positions of the tube. Ten cases of prebending and hydroforming simulations are carried out to find the optiaml weld line position.

In this paper, the vibration of a rotating shaft with a thin rigid disk is considered. It is assumed that the shaft has uniform, circular cross-section. Based on the Timoshenko-beam theory, the transverse displacements and slops in two lateral directions, the axial displacement, and the torsional deformation are considered. The spectral element method is used for the vibration analysis of the rotating shaft with a thin rigid disk, which is modeled by two shaft elements and a thin rigid disk element.

Hydroforming is a forming process enabling circular metal tubes to be produced in complex cross sections along curved axial paths With the availability of advanced machine design and control They offer advantages over stamped sheet metal in lower tooling cost and structural mass The technology is relatively new so that there is no large knowledge base to assist the fundamentals of tube hydroforming technology. The purpose of this paper is found that adaptive bending condition and contact condition for bended part has uniform thickness distribution.

A consistent finite element formulation and analytic solutions are presented for stability of thin-walled circular arch. The total potential energy is derived by applying the principle of linearized virtual work and including second order terms of finite semitangential rotations. As a result, the energy functional corresponding to the semitangential moment is newly derived. Analytic solutions for the out-of-plane buckling of symmetric thin-walled curved beam subjected to pure bending or uniform compression with simply supported boundary conditions are obtained. For finite element analysis, the cubic Hermitian polynomials are utilized as shape functions and $16{\times}16$ stiffness matrix for curved beam elements and $14{\times}14$ stiffness matrix for straight beam elements are evaluated, respectively. In order to illustrate the accuracy of this study, analytical and numerical results for lateral buckling problems of circular arch are presented and compared with available analytical solutions.

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) has many desirable qualities, including being lightweight and very strong. These characteristics have led to its use in applications ranging from small consumer products to vehicles. Circular and square CFRP members were fabricated using 8ply unidirectional prepreg sheets stacked at different angles ($[+15^{\circ}/-15^{\circ}]_4$, $[+45^{\circ}/-45^{\circ}]_4$ and $[90]_8$, where $0^{\circ}$ coincides with the axis of the member). Based on the collapse characteristics of a CFRP circular member, the collapse characteristics and energy absorption capability were analyzed. Impact collapse tests were carried out for each section member. In this study, the impact energies at crossheads speeds of 5.52 m/s, 5.14 m/s and 4.57 m/s were 611.52 J, 529.2 J and 419.44 J (circular member) 2.16 m/s, 1.85 m/s and 1.67 m/s are 372.4 J, 274.4 J and 223.44 J (square member). The purpose is to experimentally examine the absorption behavior and evaluation the strength in relation to changes in the stacking configuration when the CFRP circular members with different stacking configurations were exposed to various impact velocities. In addition, the dynamic characteristics were considered.

This paper investigates an experimental behavior of circular columns and beam-columns made of HSB600 high strength steel as a fundamental study to enhance the applicability of HSB steel. The applicability of the current Standard such as KBC and Eurocode 3 is also evaluated. A total of six specimens are fabricated and tested. The main parameters are slenderness ratio(KLe/r = 12, 14, 40, 65), diameter-to-thickness ratio(D/t = 25, 40), and eccentricity ratio(e/D = 0, 0.5). It is drawn from the experiment that both the KBC and Eurocode 3 can be used to predict the strength of circular columns and beam-columns made of HSB600 high strength steel.

The purpose in having a control rod on a buoy system is to control the motion of it. The system may be composed entirely of a single circular cylinder and a long mooring anchor cable. A control rod has one function to perform in meeting its purpose, and that is to develop a control force in consequence of its orientation and movement relative to the water. The forces and moments generated as a result of the effects of mutual interference. then determine the stability characteristics of the body. In this paper, the study of control-rod-attached buoy's 2-dimensional section was accomplished. model tests and numerical simulations had been carried out with different diameters of control rods. and varying the Reynolds number $Re=5,000{\sim}25,000$ based on the cylinder diameter(D=50mm) to predict the performance of the body and the 2 frame particle tracking method Iud been used to obtain the velocity distribution in the flow field. 50mm circular cylinder Iud been used during the whole experiments and measured results had been compared with each other.

In manufacturing automotive parts, such as engine cradles, frame rails, subframes, cross-members, and other parts from circular tubes, pre-bending and pre-forming operations are often required prior to the subsequent tubular hydroforming process. During some pre-forming operations, the cross section of a bent circular tube is crushed into an oval-like shape to ensure proper geometry and sufficient clearance in the hydroforming dies. For such applications, the use of oval Instead of circular tubes could be an effective means of eliminating the pre-forming step. The oval tube could also be produced with less thinning and with less strain on the outside of the bend when controlled by a booster system without the use of mandrel. Hence, the understanding of the issues that occur in the bending of oval tubes is worthy of Investigation. This paper presents parametric studies on the bending of oval tubes without a mandrel. The finite element modeling technique is used to examine the deformation characteristics for both circular and oval tubes. In the simulations, the bending process parameters of bend radius, aspect ratio of the tube ovalness, and tube wall thickness are varied. Observations are made to obtain a hoop-buckle limit diagram in terms of a non-dimensional shape degradation factor. Suggestions based upon developed criteria are made on the acceptability of bend tubes suitable for hydroforming applications without the need ofa pre-forming step or the used of a mandrel.
