Non Deterministic Approach in Metal Forming Springback Simulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

An uncertain approach has been evaluated to analyze the finite element analysis responses for the springback evaluation on a stamped part. In the Metal Forming and Springback simulations a deterministic approach does not take in account uncertain physical variations related to material characteristics, friction conditions, tools active surfaces status, etc. Then, if one of the purposes of the process design it is its reliability, a CAE study in aleatory conditions is the only way to evaluate the process robustness. A study case has been defined and the explicit simulation was performed for the forming stage while, the implicit simulation was performed for the springback phase. Subsequently, a stochastic problem was solved to found the aleatory influence of process parameters such as: anisotropy coefficient, Young modulus and friction between blank and tools to evaluate their effect on the component springback. The evaluation of finite element models in uncertain conditions can be considered like a CAE usage in order to obtain a “Robust Design” for the examinated problem.
