    According to the characteristic that the plastic behavior of sheet metal is history-dependent,sequential learning method in deep learning was adopted to predict the plastic constitutive relation of advanced high-strength steel sheet by constructing a long short term memory network. The deformation data under different loading conditions obtained by finite element simulation based on Abaqus were used to train and test the model. The training methods and training characteristics of the model were studied. The established deep learning model accurately predicts the yield behavior and hardening curve of materials without introducing any elastic-plastic physical quantities or constitutive laws. The proposed method is able to represent the plastic constitutive behavior of sheet metal with large data volume and compared with traditional methods,it has great advantages in terms of computational efficiency,model flexibility and robustness.

    For two typical metal materials of α+β titanium alloy and austenitic stainless steel,electropulsing treatment (EPT),traditional heat treatment (THT)and quantitative statistics of phase transformation were conducted. The effect of current on the phase transformation was quantitatively analyzed and the microscopic mechanism of current was discussed. The results show that the electricity is able to reduce the transformation temperature and accelerate the transformation process of α→β transformation in titanium alloy,and suppress the martensitic phase transformation in stainless steel. Moreover,the effects of elctropulsing parameters on the phase transformations were quantitatively studied. In titanium alloy,with the increase of current density,the α→β phase transformation temperature is reduced but almost not be influenced by the pulse duty,and its transformation rate is enhanced. In austenitic stainless steel,the martensitic phase transformation was reduced significantly with the increase of current density. The mechanism of current on the nucleation and growth stages of the diffused α→β phase transition of titanium alloy and the strain-induced martensitic phase transformation of stainless steel were revealed based on the current-induced “electron wind” and Joule thermal effects on vacancy,dislocation and other defects.

    To improve the riveting quality of aircraft carbon fiber reinforced resin matrix composites (CFRP)components,aiming at the CFRP components riveting damage problem with poor openness of aircraft,the single-side core pulling riveting process with bushings was studied,and the tensile shear properties of joints were studied. The results show that the bushings can effectively limit the uneven expansion of the rivet shank in the CFRP hole. The hole wall of CFRP and expanded bushing are interference fit due to the expansion of rivet shank. Moreover,the excessive expansion of rivet shank can cause riveting damage even with the limitation of the bushings. During tensile shear process,the load-displacement response of specimens exhibits the obvious characteristics of linear growth stage,yield stage and transient fracture failure stage. All specimens fail with rivet pulling out,however,the shear damage zone is also observed in CFRP laminate and the joining hole is compressed and deformed,and the final failure mode is the combined failure mode. Specimens are actually loaded by tension-shear coupling loading due to the secondary bending moment action during the tension-shear process. The shear damage occurs first,and then the riveted head extrudes the hole circumference of the CFRP laminates along the length direction of rivet shank that causing the final pulling out failure of rivet. The bushing effectively participates in the tensile and shear load transfer,but reduces the actual contact area between the riveted head and CFRP laminates. The pulling out failure can be prevented by the process parameters optimization.

    To study the relationship between the magnitude and frequency of pulse current and the strength and ductility of T2 pure copper/304 stainless steel composite thin strips,the composite thin strips in two states of soft and hard were prepared by cold rolling combined with annealing at 450 and 970 ℃,respectively. The pulse current-assisted uniaxial tensile tests were carried out. The deformation mechanism of the composite thin strips and the action mechanism of pulse current were analyzed through the microstructure and fracture morphologies observation. The results show that the pulse current can cause the softening of the composite thin strips,and lead to the decrease of the elongation at the same time. When the frequency is constant,the softening and elongation of copper/stainless steel composite thin strips decrease become more obvious as the current increases;but when the current is constant,changing the frequency has little influence on the softening effect. The effect of pulse current on the properties of composite thin strip stems from its regulation on the deformation coordination mechanism of the steel side,which reduces the overall deformation resistance of the composite thin strips by inhibiting the twinning and phase transformation process of the austenite. The soft-state composite thin strips with austenite recrystallized microstructure shows more significant softening than hard-state composite thin strips with rolling deformation.

    The macroscopic constitutive models developed for plastic deformation of magnesium alloys or other close packed hexagonal metals were summarized. The applications of these models in magnesium alloys were reviewed. It is pointed out that the yield criteria applicable to magnesium alloys must reflect both the anisotropy and tension-compression asymmetry. Generally, the description of anisotropy is realized by the linear transformation method of stress tensor or the generalization method of stress function. The description of the tension-compression asymmetry is realized by adding a tension-compression asymmetry factor or coupling the third stress invariant in the yield function. Additionally, the yield surface interpolation method and the yield function parameter fitting method, used for description of the distortional hardening phenomenon occurred in plastic deformation of magnesium alloys, were explained in detail. These two methods make full use of the stress and strain information at different degrees of plastic deformation, which can directly and accurately reflect the yield surface evolutions of magnesium alloy in monotonic loading process.

    The recent research progress on anisotropic fracture models and fracture tests for sheet metals was analyzed and overviewed. It is indicated that the meso-damage mechanics model incorporates the anisotropic damage evolution by accounting for the effects of plastic anisotropy, void shape, size and spacing. The continuum damage mechanics (CDM) model is extended to anisotropic CDM model by expressing the scalar phenomenological damage as a tensorial damage variable; for uncoupled anisotropic fracture models, anisotropic fracture is described by altering the measurement method of equivalent plastic strain increment or through the linear transformation of the stress tensor. The fracture tests under various stress states can be obtained by designing a series of specimens with different shapes or applying different combinations of loads at the specimen boundary. Besides, to design new out-of-plane specimens and set up relevant out-of-plane test is an important trend for sheet metals in the future.

    The progressive damage and fracture mechanical behavior of unidirectional graphite fiber reinforced aluminum alloy composites (CF/Al composites) were investigated by combination method of micromechanical numerical simulation and quasi-static compression test, and the influence of fiber volume fraction on the compression mechanical properties of CF/Al composites was also analyzed. The results show that the axial quasi-static compression deformation mechanical behavior of CF/Al composites calculated by the micromechanical finite element model based on hexagonal fiber array is in good agreement with the experimental results. In axial compression, the damage initiates on the interface first, and then the accumulation of interfacial damage induces the local interface failure and matrix damage. At the later stage of deformation, the fiber failures and results in axial compression failure at 45° of the composites. The microstructure of the compression fracture shows the coexistence of interfacial debonding and local fiber fracture, which indicates that the main mechanism of inducing the axial compression failure of composites is the interfacial debonding and the fiber fracture caused by the interfacial debonding. The failure of the matrix alloy is not easy to occur after plastic deformation and damage under the axial compression load.The fiber properties are the main factors that determine the mechanical properties of composites under axial compression. Increasing the fiber volume fraction is beneficial to increase the axial compression elastic modulus and ultimate the strength of composites.

    Based on DEFORM finite element analysis software, the numerical simulation model of the ultrasonic rolling extrusion process of wind power bearing material 42CrMo workpiece was established to study the influence of workpiece rotation speed, feeding speed, amplitude and static pressure on workpiece surface roughness. The experimental design was carried out by BBD (Box-Benhnken) of response surface method, the regression analysis for the simulation results was carried out, and the process parameters were optimized. The results show that the surface roughness of the ultrasonic roller extrusion workpiece increases with the increase of the workpiece rotation speed and feeding speed and decreases with the increase of amplitude and static pressure. When the amplitude and static pressure exceed about 13 μm and 350 N, respectively, the surface roughness increases with the increase of the amplitude and static pressure. The optimum process parameter combination was obtained as: the workpiece rotation speed is 306 r·min-1, the feeding speed is 18 mm·min-1, the amplitude is 13 μm, and the static pressure is 301 N.On the basis of the optimum process prameter combination, it is obtained that the predicted value of surface roughness is 0.451 μm, and the experimental value is 0.419 μm, and the predicted value is in good agreement with the experimental value. The surface roughness after the optimization is reduced by 50.12% compared with that before optimization.

    To study the high temperature rheological behavior and hot working process window of GH141 superalloy,the isothermal compression experiments of GH141 superalloy were carried out under the conditions of deformation temperature of 1000-1200 ℃ and strain rate of 0.01-10 s-1,and 20 sets of high temperature rheological data were obtained. Hansel-Spittel constitutive model and hot working maps of GH141 superalloy were established based on high temperature rheological data. The microstructure of different hot compression samples was analyzed. The results show that the regression coefficient of Hensel-Spittel constitutive model to the rheological data of the material is 0.99,and its approximation accuracy is high. When the strain is 0.1,the unstable region appears in the temperature range of 1000~1100 ℃,with a logarithmic strain rate of approximately 1. When the strain is greater than 0.1,the unstable region located in the high-temperature and high-strain-rate region. When GH141 alloy is subjected to hot working at temperatures of 1000 and 1050 ℃,the original coarse microstructure undergoes deformation and elongation,accompanied by the formation of small recrystallized grains along grain boundaries. As the deformation temperature rises to 1100 ℃,some of the original coarse grains are replaced by smaller recrystallized grains,while some original grains remain within the material. When the temperature reaches 1150 and 1200 ℃,all the original coarse grains in GH141 alloy are completely replaced by new and fine recrystallized grains. Microscopic analysis validates the utility of the hot working map in quantifying the extent of dynamic recrystallization in GH141 alloy. Combining the hot working map,microstructure and dynamic recrystallization distribution,the optimal hot working process window for GH141 alloy is determined to be within strain rate range of 0.01-0.1 s-1 and temperature range of 1150-1200 ℃.

    The self-piercing riveting experiments were carried out on the composite plates with four different fiber layers made of[CC]2s,[GG]s,[CCG]s and[GCC]s and 5052 aluminum alloy plates. The surface forming quality and profile forming quality of the joints were analyzed. The tensile and bending tests were carried out on universal tensile testing machine, and the failure modes were analyzed. The results show that when the static tensile tests for the composite plates with four different fiber layers are carried out by using the same rivet, the tensile strength of the composite plates is[CC]2s,[GG]s,[CCG]s and[GCC]s, and the failure displacement is[CC]2s,[CCG]s,[GG]s and[GCC]s from large to small. The bending strength is[CC]2s,[CCG]s,[GG]s and[GCC]s from large to small when the same rivet is used for bending test. In static tensile test,[CC]2s and[GCC]s fail due to rivet pulling off from composite plate, and[GG]s and[CCG]s fail due to rivet head fracture. In bending test,[GG]s,[CCG]s and[GCC]s have different degrees of fiber breakage due to shearing pressure, while[CC]2s is delamination.

    The two flexible incremental forming methods namely local bending forming method and incremental rolling forming method were proposed aiming at typical doubly curved plate forming for hull plate. The influence of plate thickness, mold gap, punch distance and punch radius on springback radius of plate forming during the local bending forming process and the influence of forming distance on bending radius of plate forming during incremental rolling forming process were studied by finite element analysis (FEA) and orthogonal test. Taking one of doubly curved plates, the sail plate, as the example, based on the ABAQUS/Explicit & Standard solvers platform and the results of orthogonal test, multi-pass forming of finite element simulation for doubly curved plates were taken by using local bending method and incremental rolling method respectively. Finally, the feasibility of the flexible incremental forming methods for the marine steel plate and the reliability of the finite element analysis results were verified by the multi-pass local bending experiment.

    The influence of hot-pressing process parameters of surface temperature,forming pressure and die temperature of glass fiber reinforced polypropylene(GF/PP)composites laminates on the forming quality of U-shaped skeleton was studied. The interlaminar shear strength of the U-shaped skeleton was tested,the surface morphologies and dimensional accuracy of section were observed. The results show that when the surface temperature and forming pressure increase,fluidity of resin matrix becomes better,resin matrix redistributes during hot-pressing process,the interlaminar shear strength of U-shaped skeleton increases and the surface roughness is improved. However,excessive surface temperature and forming pressure can extrude the resin,thus reeduce the forming quality. The geometric dimensional accuracy of U-shaped skeleton section is affected by both surface temperature and die temperature. The higher the temperature,the more obvious the elastic forward bending effect. If the forming temperature continues to increase,the forward bending effect tends to be constant. During the forming process of U-shape skeleton,the forming quality of the bottom is better than that of the side area due to the different effects of forming pressure on the bottom and side and the uneven surface temperature of the laminate. The optimal process parameters obtained under the existing conditions are:heating voltage of 70 V,heating time of 60 s,surface temperature of 246.1 ℃,forming pressure of 1.2 MPa,die temperature of 80 ℃.

    The morphology, composition, and stress state of the iron oxide scale were used as starting points. The effects of pickling, stretching, and cold rolling methods on descaling of the steel surface were explored by means of SEM, EDS and XRD. The results show that the scale of the iron oxide consists of the outermost layer of red Fe2O3,the middle layer of magnetic Fe3O4, and the innermost layer of FeO. After four minutes of hydrochloric acid pickling, the spot of the steel plate appears on the surface, and after six minutes, the surface scale of iron oxide is basically removed. The crack has a great influence on the pickling speed. Compared to hydrochloric acid, the composite acid GF2 & GF1 based on phosphoric acid has the advantages of repeated use, no emission, etc., and does not cause crack. Under the same deformation, the descale effect of compressive stress is significantly better than the tensile stress. In order to achieve the effect of breaking the scale, the steel must be forced to produce large deformation.

    To improve the straightening accuracy of titanium alloy thin bar and ensure the quality of titanium alloy fasteners, according to material properties of titanium alloy and elastic-plastic theory, the roller shape design method to improve straightening effect using rolling and reverse bending was proposed. In the roller shape design process, a εt-10εt straightening hardening coefficient model was developed based on the straightening deformation feature of thin bar to describe the stress-strain relationship of thin bar deformation more accurately. The advantages of the rolling and reverse bending straightening were analyzed combining with the Tresca yield criterion, and the roller gap solution model of two-roll straightening for thin bar was established from the view of contact strength, elastic deformation and rolling stress limit. The roller shape design curve of two-roll straightening for thin bar was given on the basis of considering the influence of stress neutral layer offset, material hardening law and residual stress release on the reverse bending curvature ratio combined with specific examples, and the straightening process was numerical simulated. The parameter states which affect the accuracy of bar after straightening were analyzed, and the results show that the straightening accuracy of the bar with the designed roller shape is 0.41 mm·m-1, the hidden deflection is 0.1737 mm·m-1, and the prediction accuracy after straightening is less than 0.584 mm·m-1. Finally, the correctness and validity of the design method were verified by straightening test.

    Based on elastic-plastic finite element theory, a three-dimensional dynamic finite element model of nine-roller straightener was established by ABAQUS. The distribution of longitudinal stress in the straightening process and deformation law of straightened plate were analyzed by simulation. On the basis of traditional large deformation bending and straightening plan, the parameter design of reduction schedule was carried out and the plate straightening test by nine-roll straightener was carried out. The simulation results show that the deformation of the plate is mainly concentrated on the longitudinal fibers, and the longitudinal stress in the middle of the plate is about 35% of the stress in the edge. To eliminate the warpage, the longitudinal residual stress difference between each column in the width direction must be controlled. The optimal reverse bending ratio of Q235 plate with thickness of 15 mm is determined to be 2.27/0.38 by optimization. And the test results show that the plate straightening effect is good. After processing, the flatness of the plate is less than 4 mm·m-1, which is in line with the national standard and the test verifies the correctness of the simulation results. The parameterization model of the roller's reduction procedure can quickly determine the optimal straightening process parameters.

    To study the influence law of different process parameters of the hot power spinning on forming accuracy and improve the forming quality of hot spun workpieces, taking the thinning ratio, spinning temperature, feeding rate and mandrel preheating temperature as variable factors, the external roundness error, wall thickness deviation, straightness error and internal roundness error as the evaluation indexes, the orthogonal experiment was designed. The hot spinning numerical simulation on connecting rod bushing was carried out by using the finite element simulation software Simufact. By means of range analysis and grey correlation method, the consistent influence rule and optimization parameters were obtained and the experimental verification was carried out. The results show that when the hot power spinning of connecting rod bushing is carried out, the thinning ratio and feeding rate are the main factors affecting the forming accuracy, the mandrel preheating temperature is the secondary factor, and the spinning temperature has the least influence on the forming accuracy. When the thinning ratio is 25%, spinning temperature is 350 ℃, feeding rate is 0.6 mm·r-1 and mandrel preheating temperature is 200 ℃, the forming accuracy of hot spun workpieces is the highest and the forming quality is the best.

    Aiming at the problem that there is big randomness and no quantitative calculation of the key parameters cycle feed range in the Pilger cold-rolling process at present, on the basis of analyzing the influence of the cycle feed range on the deformation characteristics seamless steel tube in the rolling process,taking 304 stainless steel pipe rolling as an example, the numerical simulation model of cycle feed range was established by theoretical calculation to study the influence law of cycle feed range on the metal deformation and the quality of the finished product in the rolling process, and to provide the basis for selecting process parameters. Using three-dimensional finite element software to establish the numerical simulation model, based on the cycle feed range obtained before, the rolling process simulation was carried out. The key data such as the stress state, finished pipe size and residual stress in the rolling forming process were obtained, and combined with the field rolling test to verify whether the finished product can achieve the expected performance. The method of combining theoretical calculation, numerical simulation and experimental verification can be used to provide support for the selection of periodic feed. The error between the finite element simulation results and the experimental results is less than 8%, which verifies the accuracy of the finite element simulation results. The residual stress under the 10 mm feed range calculated by theoretical calculation is reduced by more than 10% compared with the residual stress of 12 mm feed range according to the production experience, which further verifies that the cycle feed range of 10 mm can improve the finished pipe quality in a certain dagree.
