Abstract

No study has comparatively examined the impact of compressive loads in monotonic and cyclic high-pressure torsion (mHPT and cHPT) using the finite element analysis (FEA). This study aimed to overcome this lack of knowledge. For this purpose, the effect of compressive load on the saturated torque and effective strain imposed by mHPT and cHPT processes was investigated by finite element analysis of copper samples, under pressures of 100 MPa and 150 MPa and at three twist angles. The results demonstrated that in the mHPT process due to the increase in the compressive load the values of the effective strain and the maximum torque increased from 5.58 and 983 N.M to 6.85 and 1967 N.m, respectively. In contrast, the value of the effective strain imposed by cHPT ranged from 27.3 to 100.4 as the applied pressure-twist angle amplitudes increased from 100 MPa-1 rad to 150 MPa-3 rad, respectively. Regardless of the applied load in mHPT, as the twist angle increased from about 1 rad to nearly 15 rad, the moment increased with a constant slope. In the cHPT procedure, the torque value was nearly independent of the number of cyclic revolutions, but it increased as the applied pressure and twist angle amplitudes increased. A 50% increase in applied load led to ~23% and ~88% increases in effective strain imposed by the mHPT and cHPT processes.
