Sheet Laser Bending Simulation Study Based on ABAQUS

Article Preview

Abstract:

The worldwide production of more than half of the material to be processed into sheet metal. Therefore, improving the corresponding forming technology and manufacturing level is a subject of universal significance [1,. Sheet metal bending is the technology method that is using high energy laser beam scanning form when the surface of the sheet metal thermal stress caused by non-uniform temperature field to implement plastic forming. Compared with the conventional molding method, the technology neednt die and external force, it is large production flexibility, low cost, and high precision molding[3,4]. As a new plastic molding method, a laser bending technology has been widespread concern of many scholars at home and abroad[5]. In this paper that using ABAQUS for ST14 were simulated scanning laser bending. In the simulation, the simulation using shell elements to reduce the amount of computation and shorten the calculation time,finnally use the shell elements replace the solid elements simulations to provide evidence
