Investigation of Sheet-Titanium Forming with Flexible Tool – Experiment and Simulation / Badanie Kszta?towania Blach Tytanowych Z Wykorzystaniem Elastycznego Narz?dzia - Do?wiadczenie I Symulacja

摘要

In the paper the results of investigation of sheet-titanium forming with flexible tool are presented. Titanium alloy sheets belong to a group of materials which are very hard to deform at ambient temperature. To improve sheet formability forming technology using a semi-flexible tool was implemented. Experiments were carried out on a specially designed for this purpose device. Due to the application of a rubber pad the stress state similar to triaxial compression was produced in the deformed material. Such a stress state made it possible to obtain higher material deformation without risk of fracture. The numerical simulations were used for analysing the flexible forming process. The ADINA System basing on the Finite Element Method (FEM) was applied.
