Solution for slab forging with bulge between two parallel platens by strain rate vector inner-product integration and series expansion

摘要

A new linear integration was developed. First, effective strain rate for slab forging with bulge was expressed in terms of two-dimensional strain rate vector, and its inner-product was integrated term by term. Second, a summation process of term by term integrated results and a formula of the bulging were introduced, and an analytical solution of stress effective factor was obtained. It is proved that the expression of power by the above linear integration is the same as that of traditional immediate integration. Also, the solution was simplified by series expansion and compared by slab forging test with the others. It turns out that the calculated result of total forging pressure is basically in agreement with measured value in the actual press test.
