Roll Forming Process

The continuous flexible roll forming process is a novel sheet metal forming technique for effectively manufacture of three-dimensional surface parts. In this study, two types of finite element (FE) models were developed under the ABAQUS/Explicit environment. The difference of the two models is that the rolls are defined as discrete rigid bodies in model No.1 and are deformable in model No.2. An experiment was carried out using the continuous sheet metal forming setup. The comparison of the numerical computation results with the experimental results shows that the model No.2 can be used for the shape prediction of continuous flexible roll forming process well.

Emission Signal

The application of acoustic emission signal analysis for characterization of sheet metal forming operations is discussed in this paper. Two particular sheet metal forming operations are examined: punch stretching and deep drawing. The acoustic emission signal characteristics, including the energy content, the spectral properties, and time series behaviors, as functions of the process state, are experimentally studied. Using plastic work analysis, an analytical relationship between acoustic emission energy rate and punch stretching parameters (punch feed rate, workpiece thickness, punch size, holder diameter, amount of plastic deformation, and workpiece material properties) is developed and supporting experimental results presented. During the forming processes, acoustic emission signal features show strong correlations with punch/workpiece contact, yielding, deformation, flange wrinkling, necking and fracture. Therefore, acoustic emission can be effectively used for in-process monitoring of sheet metal forming operations.

Incremental Sheet Metal Forming

Incremental Sheet Metal Forming (ISMF) is a flexible sheet metal forming process that enables forming of complex three dimensional components by successive local deformations without using component specific tooling. ISMF is also regarded as die-less manufacturing process and in the absence of part-specific dies, geometric accuracy of formed components is inferior to that of their conventional counterparts. In Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF), the simplest variant of ISMF, bending near component opening region is unavoidable due to lack of support. The bending in the component opening region can be reduced to a larger extent by another variant of ISMF namely Double Sided Incremental Forming (DSIF) in which a moving tool is used to support the sheet locally at the deformation zone. However the overall geometry of formed components still has unacceptable deviation from the desired geometry. Experimental observation and literature indicates that the supporting tool loses contact with the sheet after forming certain depth. Present work demonstrates a methodology to enhance geometric accuracy of formed components by compensating for tool and sheet deflection due to forming forces. Forming forces necessary to predict compensations are obtained using force equilibrium method along with thickness calculation methodology developed using overlap that occurs during forming (instead of using sine law). Results indicate that there is significant improvement in accuracy of the components produced using compensated tool paths.
