A Mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian Finite Element Method For Simulation Of Thermo-Mechanical Forming Processes

  • Conference paper
Modelling of Metal Forming Processes

Summary

A mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian finite element method has been developed to adapt nodal point locations independently from the actual material displacements.

Temperature and elastic-plastic material behaviour are included.Hardening and other deformation path dependent properties are determined by incremental treatment of convective terms.

A special contact element is developed to describe the thermal and mechanical boundary and interface behaviour.

Applications are shown by simulations of an upsetting problem, a cold rolling process with time dependent material properties and a deep drawing process.
