Determination of Buckling Limit of Strain in Cold Roll Forming through Finite Element Analysis
Authors
Abstract:
In this study, "Buckling Limit of Strain" (B.L.S.) is introduced as one of the most important limiting factors in cold roll forming process. B.L.S. is calculated by the finite element procedure. Then for two particular processes with existing analysis and experimental results, B.L.S. has been determined and evaluated. LUSAS 12.3 is used for finite element analysis. The results show that when buckling of the sheet metal is the limiting factor, B.L.S. is in good agreement with practical limits. It has also been shown that flower pattern can be well predicted when B.L.S. is obtained and this idea is another new outcome from this study. Using this criterion to define and determine B.L.S. and to design the flower pattern is a new concept accomplished for the first time.

full textAnalysis of Roll Wear in Reshaping Using Finite Element Simulation
Reshaping process is a widely used method for producing tubes with non-circular cross sections. Owing to the friction between pipe and rolls, initial round pipe moves forward and consequently, it gradually formed into square or rectangular one. In practice, geometric profile of the rolls will be changed after a while. These changes would be detrimental the production of faultless products. Ther...

An enhanced unfolding Inverse Finite Element Method (IFEM) has been used together with an extended strain-based forming limit diagram (EFLD) to develop a fast and reliable approach to predict the feasibility of the deep drawing process of a part and determining where the failure or defects can occur. In the developed unfolding IFEM, the meshed part is properly fold out on the flat sheet and tre...
