Finite Element Analysis of DP600 Steel Strips in Deformation Tests

Abstract:

DP600 steels are high strength steels used in structural elements of vehicles. However, they can be used in other sectors, but this requires a study in different working conditions, with the help of tools that facilitate the realization of predictions about the mechanical properties of these materials.The "Design Expert" software was used during this research. In it, the combinable input variables are introduced, which in this case are only the size of the pin and the folding angle of the sheet, so that employing simple combinatorial operations tells us how many and which experiments we will have to perform to cover the different possibilities.Simulations have been carried out with the Deform-2D software, applying the finite element method, to know in advance what is going to be the behavior of the metal sheets interacting with the rotating pin, in processes like drawing.
