Measuring of Geometrical Precision of Some parts Obtained by Asymmetric Incremental Forming Process After Trimming

subject

description

Asymmetric Incremental Forming exalts the advantages of Incremental Forming process since no dies are strictly necessary. In this way complex geometries may be manufactured with a very simple clamping equipment. On the other hand, this characteristic determines some intrinsic drawbacks which penalise its industrial suitability; first of all, the dimensional control of the manufactured part is a still open point for researchers all over the world. Several approaches have been already proposed in the last years to solve the problem, resulting only in partial solutions. At the same time, up to now, the numerical simulation did not supply significant aid to the designers, due to the problem complexity and the very long simulation time when an elasto‐plastic analysis has to be carried out. For this reason an experimental trial and error approach is often preferred. An innovative approach is represented by the application of numerical analysis based on a coupled explicit‐implicit formulation. In this paper, som...
