چکیده
In this study the feasibility of 3D FEM simulation of the orbital forming process was investigated by evaluating the simulation time. Commercial FEA software DEFORM 3D v4.0 that has an efficient computation algorithm for simulating incremental forming process was used for the simulations and the savings in computation time was determined. In order to provide reliable flow stress for the simulation, a finite element based inverse analysis technique has been introduced. Results show that developed inverse analysis technique is efficient and accurate for use in 3D FEM simulation for process optimization.

متن کاملFinite element simulation of two-point incremental forming of free-form parts
Two-point incremental forming method is considered a modern technique for manufacturing shell parts. The presence of bottom punch during the process makes this technique far more complex than its conventional counterpart i.e. single-point incremental forming method. Thus, the numerical simulation of this method is an essential task, which leads to the reduction of trial/error costs, predicts th...

متن کاملNumerical and analytical investigation of an ultrasonic assisted ECAP process
One of the great challenges in the processing of materials using Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) is the high forming forces required to produce large shear deformation in the material. Researchers show that the friction forces between the die and the sample constitute a great part of the total forming forces. Recently, ultrasonic vibrations are successfully implemented into the ECAP proce...
