Numerical Simulation of Different Clamping Modes on Stretch Forming Parts

Article Preview

Abstract:

Three clamping devices of stretch forming machine were introduced, and the corresponding finite element models of the spherical parts were built by finite element software, the strain and thickness distribution of the forming parts were comparatively analyzed. The simulation results show that strain and thickness distribution of the forming parts with the multiple discrete gripper clamping mode are well-proportioned, its forming quality gets better than that with the whole flat gripper and adjustable curved gripper clamping modes. The experiment was performed and a typical spherical parts was formed with the multiple discrete gripper clamping mode. The experimental results are in good agreement with simulation results, which proves feasibility and practicability of the multiple discrete gripper clamping device of stretch forming machine.
