Towards Fracture Prediction in Single Point Incremental Forming

Abstract:

The stress state in metal forming processes usually implies low values of triaxiality. It is well known that damage models based only on triaxiality fails to capture the damage behavior properly, and recent articles have stressed the effect of the Lode parameter in describing damage. Moreover, in some process like incremental forming, the through thickness shear could dominate the rupture mechanism making the description, using solely the triaxiality, inaccurate. In this paper, a preliminary study of the stress state is carried over a near-to-failure single point incremental forming (SPIF) formed cone, through finite elements simulations using a newly developed solid-shell element. The results provide a basis for further studies into damage development in SPIF.
