The Application of Finite Element Analysis in Rubber Bladder Forming and Springback Compensation

Abstract:

In recent years, finite element analysis technology has been applied in Aircraft sheet metal manufacturing and digital manufacture field. It has become an effective way to solute Aircraft sheet metal precise manufacturing and received extensive attention. Chengdu Aircraft Company used finite element analysis in Rubber bladder forming for the development of aircraft. Parts rough lumber, forming way, tooling structure, forming pressure and springback compensation has been pre-determined. Finite element analysis of Rubber bladder forming shortened the process preparation cycle, and improved the part forming quality and the ability of the development and production.
