1. INTRODUCTION
The draw is the processing method by plastic deformation (Dieter,
1991), which consists in forced going the material through one aperture
draw die with section smaller than material section under the traction
force action (Fig. 1).
The principal tool in draw procedure is the drawing-die, by this
depend the product quality and the drawing machine capacity.
The drawing-die is made from alloy steel for tools, hard alloys.
2. CHOOSING THE METHOD OF MEASUREMENT AND CALIBRATION OF THE BARS
Contemplate the way working of bars of some draw installations of
pipes it has come to conclusion as stresses and tensile strain
determinations in the bars samples it can be realize using the strain
gauge techniques (Avril, 1984, Atanasiu et al., 2008).
The entire assemble are shapely by four bars.
The bars numbered 1 and 2 have a circular transversal section with
diameter equal to 19.7 mm and are fabricated by steel having [sigma]r =
700 MPa and [sigma]c = 300 MPa. The bars numbered 3 and 4 with annular transversal section, the internal diameter is equal to 6 mm and the
external diameter equal to 20 mm, are made by steel having [sigma]r =
(850 ... 1050) MPa and [sigma]c = 650 MPa.
On the each bar was applied four transducers, two was orientated in
the bar axis directions and the other two are perpendicularly on the bar
axis, figures 2a.
[FIGURE 1 OMITTED]
[FIGURE 2 OMITTED]
If, the four transducers are connecting in full bridge (fig. 2, b)
the intensity variation measured are:
[DELTA]R = [DELTA][R.sub.1]-[DELTA][R.sub.2] +
[DELTA]R.sub.3]--[DELTA][R.sub.4] (1)
where (Iliescu & Atanasiu, 2006, Theocaris et al., 1976):
[MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSION NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII],
In these relations:
[[epsilon].sub.1] = [[epsilon].sub.3], represent the tensile
strain, indicated by the 1 and 3 transducers,
[[epsilon].sub.i1] = [[epsilon].sub.3], represent the bending
strain,
[[epsilon].sub.2] = -v([[epsilon].sub.1] + [[epsilon].sub.1])
represent the unit strain indicated by the transducer no. 3.
[[epsilon].sub.4] = -v([[epsilon].sub.3] + [[epsilon].sub.3]) =
-v([[epsilon].sub.1]-[[epsilon].sub.2]) represent the unit strain
indicated by the transducer no. 4.
[K.sub.1], [K.sub.2], [K.sub.3], [K.sub.4] represent the
transducers constant. [R.sub.1], [R.sub.2], [R.sub.3], [R.sub.4]
represent the electrical resistance of the transducers.
[DELTA][R.sub.t1], [DELTA][R.sub.t2], [DELTA][R.sub.t3],
[DELTA][R.sub.t4], represent the variation of electrical resistance
produced by the temperature variation, which can be appearing in the
measurement process.
Choosing the transducers so that [R.sub.1] = [R.sub.2] = [R.sub.3]
= [R.sub.4] and [K.sub.1] = [K.sub.2] = [K.sub.3] = [K.sub.4] result
[DELTA][R.sub.t1] = [DELTA] [R.SUB.t2] = [DELTA][R.sub.t3] =
[DELTA][R.sub.t4] and then using relation (1) we obtained:
[DELTA]R = 2[[K.sub.1]R[[epsilon].sub.1] +
[vK.sub.2]R[[epsilon].sub.1]] (2)
In this way the temperature variation effect and the bending effect
are excluded. and,
[DELTA]R/R = [[epsilon].sub.cit] K = 2[[K.sub.1] [[epsilon].sub.1]
+ [K.sub.2] v[[epsilon].sub.1] (3)
where: [[epsilon].sub.cit] represent the experimental unit strain
and K = 2 are the transducers constant.
The measured unit strain is:
[MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSION NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] (4)
On the bars numbered 1 and 2 it was applied transducers having the
follow constants [K.sub.1] = 2.07 and [K.sub.2] = 2.03 so that
[[epsilon].sub.1]= K[[epsilon].sub.cit]/2x2,04(1+0,3) = 0,378
[[epsilon].sub.cit] (5)
The stress value in the bars numbered 1 and 2 for a 1kN force are:
[[sigma].sub.1] = P/A = 1000/304 = 32,8 MPa (6)
In addition, the corresponding unit strain is:
[[epsilon].sub.1] = [[sigma].sub.1]/E = 32,8/21X[10.sup.4] = 1.56 x
[10.sup.-6] (7)
The measured strains values in experimental process are:
[[epsilon].sub.cit] = 1/0,378 [[epsilon].sub.1] = 417 x [10.sup.-6]
(8)
Because, the bars Young modulus are different toward the calculus value, E = 21 x [10.sup.4] MPa, considered, it was necessarily a
calibration of each type of bars for establish the effective relation
between P (load) and [epsilon] (strain).
For this end was manufactured two standard bars made from the same
material as good as the real one, one having circular section with
d=19.8 mm diameter and the other having a annular transversal section,
the internal diameter is equal to 6 mm and the external diameter equal
to 20 mm.
On the each bar, it was applied strain gauges (figure 2a) in a full
bridge circuit (figure 2b).
Then, the bars were loaded with known forces using a 300 kN
universal testing machine and the strain were read with a Hottinger
bridge.
Using the experimental values for bar no. 1 it makes some graphics
[epsilon] = f(P) presented in figures 3.
It was observe, from the graphics, so the relationship between P
(load) and [epsilon] (strain) it is linearly, resulting [epsilon]/1kN =
420 x [10.sup.-3] for standard bar no.1.
In the calculus process will be used the medium values
[[epsilon].sub.med]/1kN = 420 x [10.sup.-3] because the diameter of the
machine bars are different toward the diameter of the standard bar no.1.
The some differences appear between the values determined by
calculus toward the experimental for [[epsilon].sub.med]/1kN what
conduce to conclusion the value of Young modulus is not just equal to
the value which are take in calculus (E = 21 x [10.sup.4] MPa).
Using the results obtained in calibration bars process it can be
determined the Young modulus values for each bar.
So, for bar no.1:
[E.sub.1] = [P.sub.1]/[A.sub.1][[epsilon].sub.1]
30700X[10.sup.3]/304X0,483 = 21 x [10.sup.4] Mpa (9)

3. MEASUREMENTS FOR DETERMINE THE TENSIONS AND THE EXTENSIONS IN
BARS
The four bars, which were, applied strain gauges transducers were
mount in the draw installations of pipes. For measuring, it was use
strain gauge bridges and dynamic recording systems. It was made many
draws concomitantly with 1 and 2 numbered bars as well as concomitantly
with 3 and 4 numbered bars and then was collected the tensile strains.
In case of testing VI it was obtain, in time of draw effectuated on
bar no. 1 (table 1), the following values:
[P.sub.max] = [[epsilon].sub.max]/[[epsilon].sub.min] = 1290/42 =
30.7 kN, (10)
[P.sub.min] = 260/42 = -6.2 kN (11)
Corresponsive, the maximum extension in time of this draw was:
[DELTA]l = [[epsilon].sub.cit]/2,679 = 1290X[10.sup.3]/2,679 =
0,483 mm (12)
4. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
In table, one the results obtained after data processing for bars
no. 1
In case of apparition of some vibrations in draw procedure time can
be appear higher loading variations.
