ABSTRACT

The paper deals with some numerical aspects to simulate efficiently the incremental sheet forming process. Firstly, in order to consider the production of real industrial parts, complex tool paths are needed and a Computed Aided Manufacturing software is used to provide them. Second the finite element simulation is highly CPU time consuming and in an attempt to decrease that time, a simplified elasto-plastic scheme based on the incremental deformation theory of plasticity has been introduced in ABAQUS. Taking into account the equivalent plastic strain, the stress flow and the actual thickness of the sheet, a reduction of CPU time and a good prediction are observed (considering the flow rate elasto-plastic scheme as reference).
