Numerical Simulation of Process Parameters in Flexible Discrete Clamp Stretch Forming

Article Preview

Abstract:

Flexible DCSF technology was put forward, and its forming character was described. The flexible DCSF machine was developed and related stretching experiment were carried out. The experimental photos show the DCSF technology is feasible and the DCSF machine is practicable. The FE model of flexible DCSF was set up, and extensive numerical simulations for spherical parts, saddle parts and S-type parts were carried out by Abaqus. The numerical results show that the longer the transitional length is, the more homogeneous the stretching strain and the thickness become. The smaller the friction coefficient is, the more homogeneous the stretching strain and the thickness become. The larger the clamp number is, the better the fit degree becomes. This work may provide useful guidance on the flexible DCSF process.
