Simulation of Incremental Forming Processes Using a Thermo-Mechanical Partitioned Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to study the simulation of cogging process using a thermo-mechanical partitioned algorithm. The thermal and mechanical problems are solved separately. The mechanical problem is based on the balance equation whereas the thermal problem is based on the heat equation. The two physics are coupled trough the mechanical parameters that depends on the thermal problem and vice versa. The results obtained using the software Forge3 show that the mechanical deformation is high inside the zone of deformation and negligible outside whereas the temperature is high overall the mesh with a gradient at the zone of contact between the dies and the work piece.
