FEA-Simulation of Automobile Sheet Metal Hemming Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Influence of different pre-hem paths on the flange geometry was studied first. Among these paths could be vertical, oblique, horizontal. The result of the simulation shows that the vertical pre-hem path leads to less creep. To avoid the hemming quality defects around the corner of the outer-sheet, influence of the structure of the pre-processing steel on the hemming force was studied. And finally the design scheme of the table-top hemming machine and the basic operating principle were presented.
