Abstract

AbstractBased on some fundamental properties of finite element approximations, a mesh re‐zoning scheme is proposed for finite element simulations of metal forming problems. It is demonstrated that this technique is indispensable in analysing many difficult forming processes, especially when there exist corners or very irregular shapes on the boundaries. The algorithm is tested by a backward extrusion process and direct extrusion through a square die.
