Direct Evaluation of Coulomb Friction Coefficient from Sheet Strip Stretch Test on a Cylinder Surface

Abstract:

Knowing the flow curve of a sheet metal, strain distribution on a sheet strip may be used to roughly but quickly evaluate the Coulomb friction coefficient. Strain distribution on the strip being stretched on a cylindrical surface of interest may be measured by an optical strain measurement system. This could be used to estimate the stresses on the specimen. The capstan equation is then used to roughly evaluate the coefficient of friction acting between the sheet strip and the cylindrical surface. Validation of the approach is done using the simulation of the process. The corresponding experiments can be performed easily on a sheet metal testing device equipped with an optical strain measurement system, which is commonly used for the experimental evaluation of FLCs.
