FEM Simulation of Laminated Lightweight Materials Processed through Single Point Incremental Forming

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim of present paper is to realize the FEM simulation of laminated lightweight material processed through single point incremental forming. Thus a laminated material, aluminum - polypropylene - aluminum (Al-PP-Al), as sheet 1.2 mm thickness was used. For these material the hardening curve was determinate. These values were used to describe elastic-plastic behavior of the material during single point incremental forming process simulation. Single point incremental forming process simulation aimed to assess the distribution of values and maximum and minimum strains, the material thickness of the specimen and the technological force for the two strategies for obtaining the truncated cone shaped pieces: circular and spiral.
