Simulation Design of Continuous Flexible Roll Forming Bending Process

Modelling and Simulation of the Roll Forming Process

Cold roll forming (CRF) is a bending process where the bending occurs gradually in severalforming steps from an undeformed strip to a finished profile. The process is very interesting for thesheet metal industry due to the high speed in which the profile can be produced. High strength steelhas, in recent years, become more common in CRF. These materials have advantages but also<...

Robust Design Optimization in forming process simulation

Today, FE-simulation of forming process has become an integral part for assessing and evaluating forming processes. The optimization, i.e. improvement of product characteristics, has been an integral part of forming simulation based virtual product development for several years now. On the other hand, the robustness of forming processes is becoming more and more focused on recently. Therefore t...

Stress Analysis and Energy Estimation in Cold-Roll Forming Process

In this article, stress analysis and energy estimation during cold-roll forming of symmetrical channel sections have been discussed. Geometry of sheet strip is pre-estimated by a shape function. Then longitudinal, transversal and shear strains have been calculated. Using both the Levy-Mises and the Prandtl Reuss equations, and also considering the Bauschinger effect, stress distributions have b...
