Three Dimensional Finite Element Calculation of the Forging of a Connecting Rod

  • Conference paper
Modelling of Metal Forming Processes

Abstract

The three dimensional finite element program FORGE3 is used to simulate the forging of a connecting rod. The material behaviour is assumed to follow the Norton-Hoff law (incompressible and viscoplastic).The thermal effects are introduced by a coupled thermoviscoplastic analysis with the possibility of taking into account possible phase transformations.
