Research Abstract |
This project constructed a new numerical system, which can conduct analysis of plastic deformation, such as metal forming, considering dynamic behavior of lubrication, by coupling computational fluid dynamics for lubrication and the finite element method for metal forming. The constructed system is able to be applied for the case where lubricant is supplied into the space between the metal and die by high pressure as well as the case where lubricant is drawn into the space by traction force from the metal surface. The system will be useful for solving problems involving both lubrication and plastic deformation, which cannot be solved by conventional methods. For example, the developed system realized designs of process line and tools, and evaluation of lubrication for improvement of formability. The effect of the system was verified by a series of experiments.
