Analysis and design of hydroforming process for automobile rear axle housing by FEM

Liping Lei, +2 more
- 01 Sep 2000 - 
TL;DR: An FEM program, HydroFORM-3D, for the analysis and design of tube hydroforming processes, has been developed by modifying and adding some subroutines to the previous rigid-plastic finite element program, and then applied to the hydroforming process for an automobile rear axle housing as discussed by the authors.
