4. Finite element analysis <strong>of</strong> Double T-Shape Tube Hydr<strong>of</strong>orming Process<br />

The Double T-Shape Tube Hydr<strong>of</strong>orming Process is simulated by using the commercial metal forming finite<br />

element code 'FORGE <strong>20</strong>11'. The initial tube sample having 10 mm in external diameter, 1mm thickness and 50<br />

mm in length, made <strong>of</strong> pure copper Al-99 is used. Our goal is to focus on the average equivalent strain obtained.<br />

In this investigation each geometrical combination with a particular velocity is studied under oil, low, medium<br />

and high friction conditions respectively. The punches moved with velocities 1mm/s in opposite directions. The<br />

counter punches remained fixed at 10mm from centreline so that proper material flow can be achieved at<br />

protrusion area. The internal pressure was varied linearly from 0 to 100 MPa during the process.<br />
