Abstract
AbstractSimulation models have proven efficient in understanding and analysing the different characteristics of joining by the electromagnetic forming process. This work performs a comparative study between two different non-coupled multi-step simulation models to predict the pull-out strength of a smooth-surfaced Cu-SS tube-to tube joint joined by electromagnetic crimping. The first simulation model is performed in two steps using LS-Dyna ™, whereas the second simulation is performed in two steps using Ansys Maxwell and Ansys explicit dynamics. The result indicates a 5% higher pull-out strength in the first simulation than the second simulation. Pull-out strength values and failure modes are further validated with experimental results.KeywordsElectromagnetic crimpingCu-SSTube-to-tubeMulti-step simulationStrength prediction
