Study on Mechanical Behavior and Deformation Law of Expansion Pro-cess of Expansion Screen Base Pipe

Abstract

The expansion process of the base pipe of the expanded screen pipe includes large displacement elastic-plastic deformation problems such as geometric nonlinearity, material nonlinearity and contact nonlinearity. In this paper, based on the elastic-plastic deformation mechanism of the base pipe of expanded screen pipe, finite element equations are established and numerical simulation is used to construct a finite element simulation model to study the mechanical behavior and deformation law of Φ203.2 mm base pipe of the expanded screen pipe expansion process. The results show that the expansion rate has no effect on the increase of wall thickness, and the decrease is proportional to the expansion rate. The greater the expansion rate, the greater the residual stress at both ends of the slot.
