State Key Laboratory of Rolling and Automation, Northeastern University, Shenyang 110004, China Received 19 July 2010; accepted 17 November 2010 Abstract: A new linear integration solution was constructed for determining the total pressure developed during forging of a rectangular bar with flat tools. The effective strain rate for rectangular bar forging with bulging was expressed in terms of four-dimensional strain rate vector. The inner-product of the vector was termwise integrated and summed. The integral mean value theorem was applied to determining the ratio of the strain rate components and the values of direction cosine of the vector and then an analytical solution of stress effective factor was obtained. The compression experiments of pure lead bar were performed to test the accuracy of the solution. The optimized results of total pressure by golden section search were compared with those of the indicator readings of the testing machine. It indicates that the optimized total pressures are 2.60%í10.14% higher than those measured. The solution is available and still an upper-bound solution. Key words: rectangular bar forging; bulging; strain rate vector; inner-product; golden section search
effective factor is obtained.
1 Introduction 2 Velocity field Forging a bar with flat tools is one of the simplest and most widely used processes in industry. However, its analysis is far from being simple. Hence a few approximate solutions have come forth, such as the upper bound [1í2], the lower bound [3í4] and slip line [5]. With the development of computers, numerical methods have been used to simulate the forging process [6í7]. ZHANG and XIE [8] and KANG et al [9] simulated forging process by FEM. GRASS et al [10] and GAO et al [11] used 3D-FEM simulation. And UBET has been successfully applied to solving the forging process by the authors [12í13]. These methods can all be applied to solving the forging, but just the numeric results are obtained. In this work, the method so called inner-product of strain rate vector [14í15] is constructed and first applied to solving the bar forging and the analytic result of stress
The origin of Cartesian coordinates is taken as the geometric centre of the body. The axes X, Y and Z divide the deforming zone into eight identical regions. So only the eighth is considered (Fig. 1). For any point with coordinates x, y and z, the velocity field is given by [1] v = vx i v y j v z k

where vx, vy, vz are components of particle velocity in Cartesian coordinate system; v0 is velocity of the top die; A is a constant to be determined by optimization on energy dissipation.

where nı is stress effective factor. It is obviously that the stress effective factor nı is a function of A, m, b0/h and l/h, also is a analytical solution. The optimum values of A and nı by the golden section search are shown in Fig. 2.

5 Discussion
In order to validate the solution in this work, the compression test was performed on 200 kN universal material testing machine. The dimensions of the three groups of pure lead specimens and the indicator readings of the machine during compressing are listed in Table 1. The ram speed was 30 mm/min.

From the results we can know that the relative errors between the optimized results and the measured ones are from 2.60% to 10.14%, all admitted in engineering.

In order to examine the characteristics of the present solution, the optimum values of A and nı were optimized for the values of l/h varying from 0.5 to 5.5 and b0/h equal to 1.10, 2.28 and 4.40 and m from 0.2 to 1.0. The value of parameter A signifies the extent of bulging. From Fig. 3 it can be seen that bulging parameter A increases with increasing l/h or decreasing b0/h for a given m. Figure 4 shows that nı increases as m increases for given values of b0/h and l/h, but always exists a minimum value of nı in each curve. Fig. 5 shows that the value of nı increases with increasing b0/h and m for a given l/h.
Taking No.1 specimen as an example, the calculating procedure is given in detail as follows. From Table 1, l/h=1.62, b0/h=1.10, and m=0.2 (for quenched steel and lapped face). Then inputting the values of l/h, b0/h, and m into Eq. (12) and optimizing by flow chart in Fig. 2, the optimum result becomes: A=0.78, nı=1.22. From Table 1, the strain and the strain rate for 20.33 H 0.094 ; H No.1 specimen are H ln 18.50 t 30 60 20.33 ln 0.026 sí1. 20.33 18.50 18.50 According to the values of İ and H , the yield stress for pure lead is ıs=20.05 MPa [16]. Then the total compression force for No.1 sample is

6 Conclusions 1) With the help of strain rate vector inner-product, the analytical solution of stress effective factor nı for rectangular bar forging is obtained. And nı is a function of A, m, b0/h and l/h. 2) Through pure lead compression test, the optimized results by above solution are 2.60%í10.14% higher than those measured. 3) The relationship among A, l/h, b0/h and m can be described. Bulging parameter A increases with increasing l/h or decreasing b0/h for a given m.
