Effect of the initial structure on the hydro-forming of toroidal shells

In order to avoid the occurrence of wrinkling in the hydro-forming process for manufacturing elbow pipes, the effect of the initial structure on the forming of the toroidal shells has been investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The research results show that wrinkles can be prevented by...

Description
Summary:In order to avoid the occurrence of wrinkling in the hydro-forming process for manufacturing elbow pipes, the effect of the initial structure on the forming of the toroidal shells has been investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The research results show that wrinkles can be prevented by selecting an appropriate initial structure.
