Electro Hydraulic Forming Process

 

 

 

Process principle

During electrohydraulic forming stored electric energy is suddenly discharged through a spark gap so that the surrounding working medium (e.g. water) is ionized and vaporizes, initiating a shockwave.

Process variants

According to the type of spark gap

• electrohydraulic forming with discharge through a wire (i.e. the electrodes are connected to each other by a wire bridge) and
• electrohydraulic forming with discharge through a gap (i.e. there is no connection between the electrodes) can be differentiated.

According to [Wil64], the setup with a wire bridge is more efficient and can be operated at lower voltages and longer distances between the electrodes, while in case of the setup with discharge through a gap, the process preparation is easier and faster.
The efficiency of an electrohydraulic process can be increased by using a suitable reflector. The reflector design needs to be done taking into account the specific forming task and considering that every redirection of the pressure war is related to energy losses. As shown in [Kle01], the shockwave can be focused by using an elliptic reflector geometry. Spherically spreading from the spark gap, which is positioned in the first focal point of the ellipse, the shockwave is reflected and converges in the second focal point. Other reflector geometries can be used for bulging tubes of different dimensions.

Difference Between jig and fixture

 INTRODUCTION
The jigs and fixtures are the economical ways to produce a component in mass. So jigs
and fixtures are used and serve as one of the most important facility of mass production
system. These are special work holding and tool guiding device. Quality of the
performance of a process largely influenced by the quality of jigs and fixtures used for
this purpose. What makes a fixture unique is that each one is built to fit a particular part
or shape. The main purpose of a fixture is to locate and in the cases hold a workpiece
during an operation. A jig differs from a fixture in the sense that it guides the tool to its
correct position or towards its correct movement during an operation in addition to
locating and supporting the workpiece.
An example of jig is when a key is duplicated, the original key is used as base for the
path reader which guides the movement of tool to make its duplicate key. The path
reader of a CWC machine here works as a jig and the original is called template.
Sometimes the template and jig both are the name of same part of a manufacturing
system.

Fox and McDonald's Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, 8th Edition

                                 

One of the bestselling books in the field, Introduction to Fluid Mechanics continues to provide readers with a balanced and comprehensive approach to mastering critical concepts. The new seventh edition once again incorporates a proven problem-solving methodology that will help them develop an orderly plan to finding the right solution. It starts with basic equations, then clearly states assumptions, and finally, relates results to expected physical behavior. Many of the steps involved in analysis are simplified by using Excel.

Fluid Mechanics and Machinery (2nd edition) : Kothandaraman, Rudramoorthy

                                        
This book Basic Fluid Mechanics is revised and enlarged by the addition of four chapters on Hydraulic Machinery and is now titled as Fluid Mechanics and Machinery. The authors hope this book will have a wider scope.
This book will be suitable for the courses on Fluid Mechanics and Machinery of the various branches of study of Anna University and also other Indian universities and the Institution of Engineers (India).
Professor Obert has observed in his famous treatise on Thermodynamics that concepts are better understood by their repeated applications to real life situations. A firm conviction of this principle has prompted the author to arrange the text material in each chapter in the following order.
In the first section after enunciating the basic concepts and laws, physical and mathematical models are developed leading to the formulation of relevant equations for the determination of outputs. Simple and direct numerical examples are included to illustrate the basic laws. More stress is on the model development as compared to numerical problems. A section titled �SOLVED PROBLEMS� comes next. In this section more involved derivations and numerical problems of practical interest are solved. The investigation of the effect of influencing parameters for the complete spectrum of values is attempted here. Problems involving complex situations are shown solved in this section. It will also illustrate the range of values that may be expected under different situations. Two important ideas are stressed in this section. These are (1) checking for dimensional homogeneity in the case of all equations derived before these equations can be used and (2) The validation of numerical answers by cross checking. This concept of validation in professional practice is a must in all design situations. In the next section a large number of objective type questions with answers are given.

Theory of Machines and Mechanisms

                                     
theory of Machines and Mechanisms published in 2009 by Oxford University Press, is the third edition of the textbook meant for both undergraduate and graduate students of mechanical engineering. For the benefit of the students, the book has been divided into three parts. Part one is about kinematics and mechanisms, part two is about the design of mechanisms, and part three is about the dynamics of machines. Part one contains information about basic topics such as velocity, acceleration, position and displacement, and the world of mechanism. Part two explains topics like gears, synthesis of linkages, cam design, robotics, mechanism trains, and so on. Part 3 includes essential topics on the dynamics of machines such as vibration analysis, balancing, cam dynamics, gyroscopes, dynamics of reciprocating engines, flywheels, planar and spatial dynamic force analysis, and static force analysis. The exercises and the solved problems allow the students to practise their knowledge better.
