Numerical Simulations and Experimental Researches for Determining the Forces of Incremental Sheet Forming Process

摘要

The current paper refers to one of the new non-conventional forming procedures for sheets metal, namely incremental forming. Problems occurring during calculation of stress, thinning and the forces in the process of incremental sheet metal forming have been analyzed in this paper. The paper presents a comparison study based on the simulation by the finite element method of incremental sheet metal forming and experimental researches referred on the same process.
