This paper investigates the effect of mesh type and mesh size in the numerical simulation of the single-point incremental forming process. Different geometries can be formed by moving the hemispherical-ended tool along the desired tool path in the single-point incremental forming process. The straight groove geometry has been selected as a test geometry as it deforms under plane strain and bi-axial mode of deformation. The accuracy of the numerical simulation results has been studied by comparing the thickness and strain distribution results with the experimental results.

摘要

This paper investigates the effect of mesh type and mesh size in the numerical simulation of the single-point incremental forming process. Different geometries can be formed by moving the hemispherical-ended tool along the desired tool path in the single-point incremental forming process. The straight groove geometry has been selected as a test geometry as it deforms under plane strain and bi-axial mode of deformation. The accuracy of the numerical simulation results has been studied by comparing the thickness and strain distribution results with the experimental results.
