Free-surface roughness of thin-walled tubes in reduction

详细

The problem of the stress-strain state of thin-walled tubes in axisymmetric steady-state deformation is solved using the membrane theory of shells and the model of an ideal rigid-plastic material satisfying the Mises yield condition and the associated flow law. The obtained solution is used together with the empirical relation between the strain state at an arbitrary point of the free surface and the surface roughness parameters at the same point to determine the influence of some tube reduction parameters on the surface roughness parameters in the product. The employed empirical relation is derived assuming that the free surface roughness parameters depend on two independent kinematic variables.
