Thesis Title: ANALYSIS OF SHEAR SPINNING PROCESS
Abstract:
Shear spinning process is used for manufacturing hollow, rotationally symmetric parts
used in the aerospace, nuclear, defense, and automotive industries. The process has
been invented about 60 years ago and used widely in the industry. However, the
literature and the understanding of process mechanics are limited. This thesis
investigates the process mechanics through numerical models and a series of physical
trials using commercially pure copper. Shear spinning process is modeled using
Abaqus FE software with input from tests to determine friction coefficient and material
properties. It is then validated against physical trials comparing both part geometry
and strain distribution in shear-spun parts. The validated model is then employed for
investigating the process mechanics and the underlying mechanism of deformation
under various process conditions. Lastly, an attempt is made to define a process
operating window.
