Prediction of Large Springback in the Forming of Long Profiles Implementing Reverse Stretch and Bending

Springback represents the deflection of a workpiece after releasing the forming tools or dies, which influences the quality and precision of the final products. It is basically governed by the elastic strain recovery of the material after unloading. Most approaches only implement reverse bending to...

description Springback represents the deflection of a workpiece after releasing the forming tools or dies, which influences the quality and precision of the final products. It is basically governed by the elastic strain recovery of the material after unloading. Most approaches only implement reverse bending to determine the final shape of the formed product. However, stretch plays significant role whe the blank is held by a blank holder. In this paper, an algorithm is presented to calculate the contributions of both stretch loads and bending moments to elastic deformation during springback for each element, and to combine them mathematically and geometrically to achieve the final shape of the product. Comparing the results of this algorithm for different sheet metal forming processes with experimental measurements demonstrates that this technique successfully predicts a wide range of springback with reasonable accuracy. The advantage of this approach is its accuracy, which is not sensitive to hardening and softening mechanisms, the magnitude of plastic deformation during the forming process, or the size of the object. The application of the proposed formulation is limited to long profiles (plane-strain cases). However, it can be extended to more general applications by adding the effect of torsion and developing equations in 3D space. Due to the explicit nature of the calculations, data-processing time would be reduced significantly compared to the sophisticated algorithms used in commercial software.
