Bending curved metal plate is an important process for many heavy industries such as shipbuilding. It is a basic process to manufacture hull surface. The conventional method is the so-called line heating method, which is not only labor intensive but also inefficient and error-prone. We have presented a new method of incremental bending. In this paper the incremental bending system is explained from its hardware and software. A kind of curved metal plate is formed by experiment and finite element simulation. The manufactured workpiece is of high quality with smooth surface. The presented method can be successfully used to form curved metal plate. It is a highly flexible forming method. It would have a wide application in industry.

Abstract A finite element model was developed to simulate the tire-rim interface. Elastomers were modeled by nonlinear incompressible elements, whereas plies were simulated by cord-rubber composite elements. Gap elements were used to simulate the opening between tire and rim at zero inflation pressure. This opening closed when the inflation pressure was increased gradually. The predicted distribution of contact pressure at the tire-rim interface agreed very well with the available experimental measurements. Several variations of the tire-rim interference fit were analyzed.

Abstract This paper extends the finite element simulation scheme to handle the problem of tires undergoing sliding (skidding) impact into obstructions. Since the inertial characteristics are handled by the algorithm developed, the full range of operating environments can be accommodated. This includes the treatment of impacts with holes and bumps of arbitrary geometry.
