Forming forces in single point incremental forming: Prediction by finite element simulations, validation and sensitivity KU Leuven
The aim of this article is to study the accuracy of finite element simulations in predicting the tool force occurring during the single point incremental forming (SPIF) process. The forming of two cones in soft aluminum was studied with two finite element (FE) codes and several constitutive laws (an elastic-plastic law coupled with various hardening models). The parameters of these laws were identified using several combinations of a tensile ...
