Abstract
Springback is one of the most important design behavior in air-bending processes. The sandwich panel exhibits more complicated bending and springback behavior due to substantial differences in mechanical properties between the foam core and the metallic skin sheet. In this paper, we will not only propose a semi-analytical model in order to easily predict springback in air-bending process of steel/polyurethane/steel sandwich panel, but also we will carry out experiments to measure springback amount. The semi-analytical model results and the experiment findings proved to be in a good agreement. In addition, numerical simulations and experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of punch radius, die opening, and the foam thickness on springback.
