On the basis of potential theory and on the assumption of an ideal and irrotational fluid, this paper drives a method for calculating air cavity formation using slender ship theory then points out the parameters directly related to the formation of air cavities and their interrelationships. Simulations showed that the formation of an air cavity is affected by cavitation number, velocity, groove geometry and groove size. When the ship’s velocity and groove structure are given, the cavitation number must be within range to form a steady air cavity. The interface between air and water forms a wave shape and could be adjusted by an air injection system.展开更多

It is a forming technology which uses powder medium instead of rigid punch or die to form sheet metals. Cup shells were successfully obtained by this technology. The theoretical calculation equation of forming load was obtained through mechanical analysis and the stress state in cup shells was analyzed by finite element simulation. The results show that powder cavity flexible forming technology can improve the forming limit of sheet metal. Compared with rigid die forming process, the thickness reduction in the punch fillet area significantly decreases and the drawing ratio increases from 1.8 to 2.2. The thinning compressive stress in the bottom of cup shell emerges, which makes the bottom of the cup shell in three-dimensional stress state and the stress in punch fillet region decrease due to powder reaction force, which can effectively inhibit the sever thinning of the sheet and prevent the generation of fracture defects.展开更多
