Simulation of continuous local bending-forming process by elastic composite tool

Abstract

A continuous process of local bending-forming using an elastic composite tool is considered. The basic mathematical dependencies necessary to determine the shapes of the resulting workpiece and tool, as well as the law of tool movement, are given. The parameters of the Mooney-Rivlin model are calculated based on the conducted experiment on the elastic composite material upsetting. The results of modeling the aluminium AMg6 alloy billet deformation by shells made of the SKU-7L polyurethane and composite material are presented.
