The method is briefly reviewed by carrying outexperimental tests and Finite element analysis. After measuring bulge height in both formed curves by CMM and thickness variation of formed tube by ultrasonic thickness measurement unit, it’s found out that thickness variation in this process is less that other traditional methods such as traditional spinning and rubber pad forming. A finite element model is constructed to simulate the double bulge tube hydroforming process and asses the influence of friction coefficient and tube material properties. It is found that material hardening coefficient had the most significant influence on formability characteristics during double bulge tube hydroforming. As similar as other tube hydroforming processes, increasing friction decrease bulge height and thickness.}, Keywords = {Double bulge tube hydroforming,spinning,Strength coefficient,Strain hardening exponent,Friction coefficient}, volume = {10}, Number = {3}, pages = {1-9}, publisher = {Tarbiat Modares University}, url = {http://mme.modares.ac.ir/article-15-10702-en.html}, eprint = {http://mme.modares.ac.ir/article-15-10702-en.pdf}, journal = {Modares Mechanical Engineering}, issn = {1027-5940}, eissn = {2476-6909}, year = {2010} } @article{ author = {Maghrebi, M.J. and Eazi, H. and Zarghami, A.}, title = {Direct Numerical Simulation of 2D Forced Jet using the Compact Finite Difference Method}, abstract ={The dimensionless form of Navier-Stokes equations for two dimensional jet flows are solved using direct numerical simulation. The length scale and the velocity scale of jet flow at the inlet boundary of computational domain are used as two characteristics to define the jet Reynolds number. These two characteristics are jet half-width and centerline velocity. Governing equations are discretized in streamwise and cross stream directions using a sixth order compact finite difference scheme and a mapped compact finite difference method, respectively. Cotangent mapping of is used to relate the physical domain of to the computational domain of . The compact third order Runge-Kutta method is used for time-advancement of the simulation. convective outflow boundary condition is employed to create a non-reflective type boundary condition at the outlet. An inviscid Stuart flow and a completely viscose solutions of Navier Stokes equations are used for the verification of numerical simulations. Results for perturbed jet flow in self-similar coordinates were also investigated which indicate that the time-averaged statistics for velocity, vorticity, turbulence intensities and Reynolds stress distribution tend to collapse on top of each other at flow downstream locations.}, Keywords = {2D Jet Flow,Compact Finite Difference,Jet Half-width,Jet Centerline}, volume = {10}, Number = {3}, pages = {9-20}, publisher = {Tarbiat Modares University}, url = {http://mme.modares.ac.ir/article-15-9735-en.html}, eprint = {http://mme.modares.ac.ir/article-15-9735-en.pdf}, journal = {Modares Mechanical Engineering}, issn = {1027-5940}, eissn = {2476-6909}, year = {2010} } @article{ author = {Niknejad, A. and Liaghat, G.

Calculation is based on analys of “Basic Folding Mechanism” introduced by Wierzbicki and Abramowicz to calculate the instantaneous folding force. For this purpose, three mechanisms of energy dissipation were assumed. The formula obtained in this paper, can predicts the instantaneous folding force variations versus folding distance and versus folding angle with good precision and can predict folding force in each time instance instead of the average value. The results of theoretical formula were compared with experimental data and good agreement was observed.

Since the principle of opearation of CTA is based on convective cooling, determination of the air flow direction is difficult. In this Research paper, we have used two cylindrical hot-film sensors placed in parallel to determine the flow direction. The wake effect and the heat due to the upstream sensor on the downstream sensor has been used to identity the flow direction. Effect of wake and presence of the upstream sensor on the downstream sensor has been studied. The results have been used to construct a probe consisting of two parallel sensors, sepereated by 1mm distance.

Obtaining a sharp corner is the main goal in some of these components. In this paper, corner filling in stepped tubes is studied using a new multistage hydroforming die. The proposed die was simulated and filling of the die cavity was investigated. The finite element software, ABAQUS 6.4, has been used for simulation. In order to verify the simulation results, the new die of stepped tube was manufactured and then experiments have been performed on it. The results of the experiments verified the simulation results. It was shown that by using the new die, parts with sharp corners could be produced.
