Abstract

In this study, finite element simulation of tube extrusion process has been carried out considering different mesh adaptivity schemes. A comparison of these schemes has been made based on stress, strain distribution, and load-stroke curves. Based on the finite element results, it is observed that the success of the computer simulation is dependent on the mesh refinement criteria.
