摘要：In this paper, a series of systematic studies on the rotating compression of porous cylinders by the FEM using DEFORM-3D analysis software are carried out. For a series of simulations, the forming conditions such as (1) the angular velocities from small to large are 0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, and 1 (rad/sec), respectively;(2) aspect ratio of porous cylinder (height-diameter ratio) are 0.75, 1, and 1.25, respectively;(3) the frictional factors are 0.3 and 0.7. Through different combinations of the above-mentioned variation factors, the characteristics of the rotating compression of porous cylinder can be explored. These rotating forming characteristics such as the compression force, the bulging ratio, the change in density, the rotating torque and so on can be investigated. The rotating compression characteristics of both porous and sound cylinders reveal lots of similarities and some differences. The main conclusions of this study are as follows: (1) as the rotating speed increases fast, the compression force of porous cylinder is whereas reduced. This phenomenon is different from the compression of sound cylinder; (2)the compression force under the lower aspect ratio can be reduced by the lubrication; (3)the relative density can be increased by increasing the rotating speed and reduction ratio; (4)the rotating torque is increased with higher rotating speed, higher frictional factor, and higher aspect ratio; (5)the bulging effect can be reduced by increasing the rotating speed, however it is increased by increasing the frictional factor.
