Ultrasonic Vibration Softening Johnson-Cook Modeling and Validation of Thin Tube Curling Experiments
In order to accurately describe the deformation behaviors of lightweight thin-walled components during ultrasonic vibration-assisted forming,ultrasonic vibration normal excitation-assis-ted uniaxial tensile experiments were carried out with TU1 oxygen-free copper and 316L stainless steel.Considering the ultrasonic vibration softening effects,an ultrasonic vibration Johnson-Cook model was developed by introducing a new ultrasonic softening function.A subroutine was developed and embedded into finite elements for simulation,and was validated by comparison with unidirectional tensile and curling experiments.The results show that the numerical model may effectively capture the ultrasonic vibrational softening behaviors of the materials with an average absolute percentage er-ror as low as 0.97%.Although different materials have different sensitivities to ultrasonic vibration,the ultrasonic softening rates all follow an Allometricl functional relationship with the ultrasonic energy field density.
