Abstract

A non-linear finite element technique is used to study the progressive forming process of the sheet, and the elastic-plastic distribution is analyzed based on Abaqus/Explict. Finite element simulations of progressive forming with different process parameters were carried out to analyse the effects of the tool head diameter, layer feed and sheet properties on forming quality. The results show that increasing the tool head diameter or decreasing the layer feed will result in better sheet forming quality, and the influence of the tool head diameter on the sheet forming quality is greater than that of the layer feed, and the selection of materials and the selection of suitable process parameters are more conducive to the improvement of forming quality and forming efficiency.
