【 摘 要 】

Due to the fact that geometrical structure of tube electromagnetic bulging process with field shaper does not conform to the axisymmetric property, three-dimensional (3D) model is usually used to analyze the process which is complicated and time consuming. Therefore, on the basis of understanding the working principle of the field shaper, a two-dimensional (2D) model with current constraint is proposed in this paper to analyze the electromagnetic bulging process of a tube fitted with a field shaper. COMSOL finite element analysis software is used to develop three models for performance analysis and comparison, these are: conventional 3D model and the proposed 2D model with and without current constraint. Simulation results show that the induced eddy current density, magnetic flux density and electromagnetic body density of the two-dimensional model with current constraint are in good agreement with the results of the three-dimensional model. This provides an alternative and effective way to analyze the performance of the tube electromagnetic bulging with field shaper using a simple but yet reliable 2D model.
