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...

Steel laser tailor-welded blanks (TWBs) are produced by end-to-end joining of base sheets using different welding methods. In this article, the formability of laser TWBs of St12 and St14 with thicknesses of 1 mm and 1.5 in single point incremental forming process were experimentally and numerically investigated. First, the forming limit wall angle was experimentally determined for each of the b...

the incremental sheet metal forming (ismf) process is a new and flexible method that is well suited for small batch production or prototyping. this paper studies the use of the finite element method in the incremental forming process of aa1050 sheets to investigate the influence of tool diameter, vertical step size, and friction coefficient on forming force, spring-back, and thickness distribut...

in recent years, in order to reducing die design and manufacturing costs, multi point forming technique has gained an increasing interest because of its high flexibility. in this process, the conventional fixed shape solid die sets are replaced with a pair of opposite matrices of controllable elements. in this paper, the fundamental principles of multi-point forming was described and the possib...

Pressure-assisted single-point incremental forming (PA-SPIF) is one of the emerging techniques for sheet metals that have been subject rigorous research over past two decades. Understanding its mechanisms and capabilities growing as a result. Open gaps are still present in material constitutive modelling accurate numerical predictions finite-element simulations characteristics localised deforma...

ultrasonic vibration assisted single point incremental forming (uvaspif) process is an attractive and adaptive method in which a sheet metal is gradually and locally formed by a vibrating hemispherical-head tool. the ultrasonic excitation of forming tool reduces the average of vertical component of forming force and spring-back rate of the formed sample. the spring-back phenomenon is one of the...
