Integrated computational material engineering model development for tube drawing process

Abstract In order to be able to understand the tube drawing process in a better way and also to analyze more complex situations, multiscale simulation approach based on the Integrated Computational Materials Engineering was used and an FEM model was developed. The responsibility of this model was to get the eccentricity and residual stresses of the tubes before the drawing process and simulate the same parameters and their variations during the drawing. For simulation, the multiscale methodology based on the idea of Integrated Computational Materials Engineering was used to study the process. The main reason for using the multiscale simulation methodology was to study plastic behavior of the material in the FEM model considering texture of the material.
