Abhishek & Jitendra 4 4. Upper & Lower boundary method Method approximates the values of deformingforces to be higher or lower than actual forces.Any estimate of the collapse load of a structure made by equating the rate of the energy dissipation internally to the rate at which external forces do work, in some assumed pattern of the deformation will be greater than or equal to the correct load-W.F. Hosford & R.M CaddellAssumptions of the method: Material being deformed is isotropic &homogenous There is no effect of work hardening William Hosford No friction exists between work piece & toolinterface.

Finite Element AnalysisA brief history Concept was developed by the works of RichardCourant & Alexander Hrennikoff (early 40s). Idea was originated to solve complex problemsof civil engineering & structural analysis.Richard Courant Idea was promoted by Boeing to compute sweepof airplane wings (mid 50s). M.J Turner & Ray W. Clough articles establishedthe applications of FEA (mid 50s). Idea was also used to compute roof of MunichOlympic stadium (late 60s) Abhishek & JitendraR.W.Clough8 8.

Space IncrementationFinite Elements: Every model is sub-divided into finite elements. Their junction points are called as nodes. Model assumes that forces act at nodes & stresses & strain exist at the finite element. Reliability of FEA depends on number of finite elements. Abhishek & Jitendra 12 12.

Space IncrementationMeshingNetwork of nodes is called a mesh.There are 2 broad mesh-generation methods. Unstructured( Formedautomatically) A Structured (Formed by grid basedsub-dividing of geometry) BAbhishek & Jitendra 15 15. Space IncrementationMeshing: Accuracy of results always depends on the assumptions. Fine mesh is considered where there are stress & strain gradients. A coarse mesh is used in the areas of reasonably constant stress or areas of interest.Abhishek & Jitendra 16 16. Protocols Gaps are not permitted during meshing. Nodes are numbered sequentially. Abhishek & Jitendra 17 17. Space IncrementationApproaches:LAGRANGES approach Mesh is bound to the material Mesh will be distorted with increasing deformation.Courtesy: FHWA. USAAbhishek & Jitendra 18 18. Space IncrementationEULERS Approach Mesh is fixed & not bound to the material. Material flows through fixed mesh. Abhishek & Jitendra 19 19. Space IncrementationRemeshingWhy is it necessary? Formation of unacceptable shapes due to large local deformations. High relative motion between die surface & deforming material. Large displacement causes computational problems. Difficulties encountered in incorporating die boundary shapes withincrease in relative displacement.To overcome above difficulties, periodic redefining of mesh is necessary Abhishek & Jitendra 21 20. Space IncrementationRemeshing comprises offollowing steps:1. Assignment of new meshsystem to work piece2. Transfer of information(strain, strain rate, &temperature) from the old tothe new mesh throughinterpolation. Image courtesy: emerald.com Abhishek & Jitendra 22 21. SolversFor simulation of metal forming, following 2 solutionsare used: Implicit method ( Stable, iterative, highcomputational effort) Explicit method (conditionally stable, no iteration,less computational effort) Abhishek & Jitendra 23 22. Implicit solvers Studies reveal that this solver isuseful in smaller & 2Dproblems. Each time step or incrementhas to be treated asunconditionally stable process. Large time steps lead to largeriterations & process do notconverge. (Newton Raphson method )Non- linear analysis of reinforced Abhishek & Jitendra concrete beam 24 23. Implicit SolversIn the implicit approach a solution to the set of finiteelement equations involves iteration until a convergencecriterion is satisfied for each increment. Here computation is divided into several calculation timesteps. At the end of each time step(increment) the equilibriumbetween internal & external load must be reached. Else iteration continues.Abhishek & Jitendra 25 24. Explicit solvers The finite element equations in the explicit approach arereformulated as being dynamic. In this form they can be solved directly to determine thesolution at the end of the increment, without iteration.Two methods are followed for time step calculations.Abhishek & Jitendra 26 25. Explicit solversHere largest allowable time step for a stable solution depends on: Highest Eigen frequency occurring (max )in the system Corresponding damping () tm (2/max)* ((1+2)0.5-)Sonic frequency & smallest element Le are estimated as follows: t Le /C with C=(E/)0.5To compensate the disadvantage of extremely small time step, will bereduced through increasing the density or shortening the process time.
