description

Abstract In this paper, computer aided engineering of some innovative sheet metal forming processes is reviewed. In particular, tube hydroforming processes and spinning processes are examined. Advanced numerical tools are utilized with the aim to design proper forming operations able to produce sound components. Furthermore, as far as the spinning process is concerned, experimental verifications are carried out to confirm the effectiveness of the numerical predictions.
