Abstract
Bistable metal sheets with a coiled transport geometry and an unfolded profile as second stable state, are of great interest as lightweight components. It is well known that a specific distribution of residual stresses is necessary to enable bistable properties. With the help of numerical FE models, the optimal process parameters for production of such sheets are evaluated. Afterwards, incremental bending and roll forming experiments are conducted in order to analyse possible continuous production methods for bistable metallic profiles. Finally, the influence of bending and rolling radii on bistability and profile geometries in stable states are investigated.
