Steady State Deformations Of A Rigid Perfectly Plastic Rod Striking A Rigid Cavity

Abstract

The axisymmetric steady state deformations of an infinite cylindrical rod made of a rigid/perfectly plastic material and striking a known cavity in a rigid target are analyzed by the finite element method. The contact between the deforming rod and the target surface is assumed to be smooth. It is found that the axial force experienced by the rod depends strongly upon the square of its speed. Results computed and presented graphically include the velocity field in the deforming region, the dependence of the shape of the upset head of the striker upon its speed, and the distribution of normal tractions upon the cavity wall. © 1988.
