Numerical Simulation Research of Tailor-Welded Blanks

Abstract:

Different numerical simulation methods on forming of tailor-welded blanks has been introduced with details, and the influence of various numerical models on the results of simulation was compared. Forming process of Square box was studied, and the difference between simulation results of two kinds of numerical modeling was discussed. The development direction of tailor-welded blanks CAE has been put forward.
