ADAPTIVE RIGID-PLASTIC MESHLESS
GALERKIN METHOD AND ITS APPLICATION IN ANALYSIS OF
EXTRUSION PROCESSES*
Abstract:
Under the hypothesis of the rigid-plastic material, specific efforts are placed on the deve- lopments of the key simulation techniques of the meshless Galerkin method because of the complexity of the deformation process as well as the generality and atomization of the simulation procedures for non-steady state large deformation plastic processes, therefore, an adaptive rigid meshless Galerkin method is developed. The influence domain control method is used in the least square approximation by dynamic evaluation of the magnitude of the influence domain and the effective control of the amount and the positions of the points in the least square approximation in order to improve approxi-mation precision. The amount of the Gauss integration points in the discrete domain is maintained in a considerable magnitude in order to ensure the integration precision in the discrete domain. The length of the frictional boundary of the plastic deformation process may be getting longer when its deforma-tion is getting severe. Thus, the densities of the boundary points of some places get lower. The adap-tive boundary points setting method is employed to improve the approximation precision of the boundary points and enhance the constraint of the boundary condition by adaptive control of boun- dary point density. Some typical extrusion processes are analyzed, detail simulation results such as the deformation field, velocity field, effective strain field, effective strain rate field, the volume loss curve and load-stroke curve are obtained. The effectiveness of the method developed is demonstrated and the precision of the meshless simulation is proved by overall comparison with the results obtained by using the commercial software deform.
