Abstract
An integrated study of dynamic hot forging of SAE 1151 steel connecting rod is presented. The study includes material characterization, constitutive modeling, and numerical simulation of the forging process. Results from torsion tests of the steel show that the material response is very sensitive to the deformation-rate and temperature at temperatures between 800 and 1000°C. A viscoplastic constitutive relation that models the material response well under the aforestated test conditions is proposed and is implemented in an explicit three-dimensional finite element code. The numerical simulation provides the distribution of stresses, strains, the temperature, and the velocity at any instant during the forging process.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
