Electro Magnetic Forming (EMF) is one of the methods for forming the metal plates with high speed; electromagnet force is used as a forming agent in this process. In this thesis, it simulates transient analysis of electromagnetic coil and structure analysis of high speed forming process. Whole of the high speed forming process time is divided in several processes. At the beginning of the first stage the voltage and the geometric, physical and mechanical specifications of the workpiece and coil and the mold are entered to the ANSYS software and the magnetic parameters of the process such as magnetic field density and the simulation current is extracted. Also in this stage magnetic force is obtained in Ansys software and by applying them in workpiece in LS-DYNA software, agent analysis of the process and shape of piece is obtained. In the second stage the pipe deformation obtained in the first stage is transported to the electromagnetic section of process in Ansys software. Also in this process, after forces computation in Ansys, the results sent to the agent section in Ls-Dyna software. This interaction between these two software is repeated several times until whole the process time is finished and final shape of pipe is obtained. The results of simulation are compared whit experimental test results. so The accuracy of this method was confirmed. The simulation and experimental results indicate that with increasing the capacitor energy, the peak current and electromagnet force are increased and finally displacement of pieces also increases.

Electromagnetic forming is a high energy rate forming process which is applied for manufacturing and assembly of many parts that are used in automobile and aerospace industries. In this process, the electromagnetic body forces (Lorentz forces) are used to produce metallic parts. Joining high electrical conductivity parts by using electromagnetic forming process is as an innovative method. Therefore, it is very important to use a proper technique for assuring the quality of the Strength of Electromagnetically Joints. In this article, this process was simulated in ABAQUS. Then geometric, physical and mechanical specifications of the tube and coil are entered to subroutine and the magnetic pressure is obtained and by applying them on tube in ABAQUS software, agent analysis of the process and deformation of the work-piece is obtained. The effective process parameters such as discharge voltage, clearance between the tube and die, wall thickness and length of the tube on depth of bead were experimentally investigated by design of experiment technique based on Taguchi Method and signal to noise. Finally, found very good agreement between simulation and experimental results. The depth of bead in sequential coupled algorithm compared to experimental result had about 4% error.
