摘要

Hourglass is remarkably aroused in ring rolling simulation with reduced integration element because of violent ring vibration and small contact area of ring with forming rollers. Hourglass energy can be reduced by improving mesh density. Combined approach of artificial damping and artificial stiffness can control the hourglass. A ring with rectangular section is simulated with the weight factor of artificial stiffness resistance set to 0.2. The artificial damping hourglass control coefficient is set to 0.1, and the artificial stiffness hourglass control coefficient is set to 0.001. The ratio of hourglass energy to internal energy is reduced to 2.5 percent. Compared with axial spread width test, the effectiveness of hourglass control in ring rolling simulation is verified.
