Tekkaya, AE
The paper starts with a brief historical overview to the attempts of numerical simulation of sheet metal forming. Comparison between bulk and sheet metal forming processes from the simulation point of view is given. Basic requirements of the applier to the simulation tools are summarized. Various possible methodologies are briefly discussed. Special emphasis is given to the static explicit and dynamic implicit finite element procedures. Also different element types are overviewed. Available important commercial finite element packages are given. The current state of the application of the simulation tools is discussed. Some typical industrial applications are reviewed to demonstrate the current abilities of analysis. Finally, an attempt to prognosticate some future developments is made.

Numerical simulation of solidification kinetics in A356/SiCp composites for assessment of as-cast particle distribution
CETIN, Arda; Kalkanlı, Ali (Elsevier BV, 2009-06-01)
The present work is aimed at studying the effect of solidification rate on reinforcement clustering in particle reinforced metal matrix composites (PMMCs) through numerical simulations and experimental studies. A macrotransport-solidification kinetics (MTSK) model was used to simulate the solidification kinetics of the PMMCs. The experimental validation of the numerical model was achieved through the Newtonian and Fourier thermal analysis methods. Results reveal that the MTSK model can be successfully used ...
Sheet metal forming analyses with an emphasis on the springback deformation
FIRAT, MEHMET; Kaftanoglu, Bilgin; Eser, Orhan (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-21)
An accurate modeling of the sheet metal deformations including the springback is one of the key factors in the efficient utilization of FE process simulation in the industrial setting. In this paper, a rate-independent anisotropic plasticity model accounting the Bauschinger effect is presented and applied in the FE forming and springback analyses. The proposed model uses the Hill's quadratic yield function in the description of the anisotropic yield loci of planar and transversely anisotropic sheets. The ma...
Computer aided design of post-tensioned concrete reservoirs
Oztorun, NK; Utku, M (Elsevier BV, 2002-11-01)
A computer method based on the classical shell and plate theories is presented for the elastic analysis of cylindrical water tanks subjected to axisymmetrical loading and post-tensioning loads. A spherical dome or circular plate roof, cylindrical container, top and bottom ring beams together with a circular plate foundation are considered as possible components of a water tank in the flexibility formulation. Classical shell, plate, and ring beam theories are used to obtain flexibility coefficients. A comput...
Numerical simulation of various cross sectional workpieces using conventional deep drawing and hydroforming technologies
Onder, Erkan; TEKKAYA, AHMET ERMAN (Elsevier BV, 2008-04-01)
This study focuses on the determination of optimum sheet metal forming process and process parameters for various cross sectional workpieces by comparing the numerical results of high-pressure sheet metal forming, hydro-mechanical deep drawing (DD) and conventional DD simulations. Within the range of each cross section, depth, characteristic dimensions ratio and fillet radius have been altered systematically. Steel of types St14 and DC04 have been used as the specimen material in the numerical analyses and ...
Development of computational software for analysis of curved girders under construction loads
Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2003-09-01)
The analysis of horizontally curved, trapezoidal steel girders presents a variety of computational challenges. During the erection and construction stages before a concrete deck is available to form a closed section, these girders are weak in torsion and susceptible to warping. Considering the design of an entire bridge system, current design approaches favor the use of a grid analysis methodology. While the use of a grid analysis procedure offers the advantage of computational efficiency, it is unable to c...
