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.

A kinematically admissible velocity field is derived to analyze the forming load and the extruded length in the extrusion/forging process of trochoidally headed bars from round billets. The forming load and the extruded length are obtained by minimizing the total energy-consumption rate. Experiments are carried out with lead billets at room temperature using trochoidally shaped punches. The theoretical predictions of forming load and extruded length are in good agreement with the experimental results.

In this paper, forging of internal triangular and involute serrations are analyzed by upper bound method. Kinematically admissible velocity fields for half pitch of the serration were proposed. It was assumed that the shape flow surface during forging is a straight line perpendicular to plane of symmetry. Using the suggested velocity fields, forging loads and relative pressures were calculated by numerical method. Experiments were carride out with commercial AI 2024 aluminium alloy. As a result, the calculated solutions are good agreement with experimental results, so it is useful to predict the loads for forging of internal serrations.

This paper describes forging of trochoidal gears, which are being widely used in timing belt pulley, pump pulley etc., as a series of development of the simulator for non-axisymmetric elements. Kinematically admissible velocity fields for forging of trochoidal gear were proposed and the loads were calculated by numerical method. When the simulation was carried out, half pith of gear was divided into 6 deformation regions which have different velicity fields by assumptions and boundary conditions. The neutral surface was introduced into forging of trochoidal gears with flat punch and, for each step, it is assumed as a circle with its radius r$_{n}$. The experimental set-up was installed in 200 ton hydraulic press for forging. The billets, of A1 2218 aluminum alloy, were slightly phosphate-coated. It was shown that thd theoretical solutions, as upper bound, are useful to predict the forging load for forging of trochoidal gears, because thdt give estimates that are substantially higher than experimental loads.s.

A simple kinematically admissible velocity field is proposed to determine the final-stage extrusion load and the average extruded length in the square-die forward extrusion of regular polygonal-shaped bars from circular billets. From the proposed velocity field, the upper-bound extrusion load and the average extruded length are determined by minimizing the total power consumption with respect to four parameters. Experiments have been carried out with hard solder billets at room temperature. The theoretical predictions of the extrusion load are in good agreements with the experimental results and there is generally reason able agreement in average extruded length between theory and experiment.

A simple kinematically admissible velocity field is proposed to drtermine the final-stage extrusion load and the average extruded length in the square-die forward extrusion of non-axisymmetric bars from circular billets. The proposed velocity field is applied to the square-die extrusion of trochoidal gear-shaped bars and rectangular-shaped bars, the profile function of a rectangular being approximated by using a Fourier series. Experiments have been carried out with hard solder billets at room temperature. The theoretical predictions of the extrusion load are in good agreements with the experimental results and there is generally reasonable agreements in average extruded length between theory and experiment.

An upper-bound method is applied to determine the final-stage extrsuion load and the deformed configuration of extruded billet. A simple kinematically admissible velocity field for trhee-dimensional deformation at final-stage is proposed. From the proposed velocity field the upper-bound extrusion load, the velocity distribution and the configuration of extruded billet are determined byminimizing the otoal power consumption. Experiments are carried out with full-annealed commercial aluminum billets at room temperature by using different sizes of elliptic punches. The theroretical predictions both in extrusion load and deformed configuration of extruded billet are ingood agreements with the experimentalresults.

The upper bound elemental technique (UBET) is used to simulate the bulk flow characteristics in axisymmetric closed die forging process. Internal flow inside the cavity is predicted using a kinematically admissible velocity field that minimizes the rate of energy consumption. Application of the technique includes an assessment of the formation of flash and of degree of filling in rib-web type cavity using billets with various aspect rations. The technique considering bulging effect is performed in an incremental manner. The results of simulation show how it can be used for the prediction of forging load, metal flow, and free surface profile. The experiments are carried out with plasticine. There are good agreements in forging load and material flow in cavity between the simulation and experiment. The developed program using UBET can be effectively applied to the various forging problems.
