description

Springback can be considered as one of the most important shape defect in sheet stamping. Such effect results relevant even when simple bending operations are taken into account. In the paper the authors present a design procedure able to provide the proper value of the punch stroke to be applied in order to compensate for elastic springback. In particular two approaches have been followed: firstly an inverse design technique has been utilized in order to find out the response function governing the investigated phenomenon; furthermore neural network techniques have been applied in order to represent the logical link between the input data and the aimed output, i.e. the proper punch stroke able to compensate the springback effect. The set up models have shown a very good attitude to the process design.
