Abstract

Double sided incremental forming (DSIF) has potential to form complex three-dimensional sheet metal components without using component specific tooling. Forming tool deflection and sheet spring-back are significant factors contributing to the geometrical inaccuracy of DSIF components. Numerical prediction and experimental measurement of sheet spring-back is time consuming. In addition, available analytical methods to predict and compensate sheet spring-back uses theory of small deflections by neglecting the membrane effects. With increase in sheet deflection beyond its thickness, membrane forces experienced by the middle plane of sheet due to stretching significantly resists the applied transverse load. In the present work, combination of small deflection and membrane theories are used to predict and compensate sheet deflections, so that a single methodology can be used for small as well as large components. Proposed methodology is validated using experimental and numerical predictions and they are in very good agreement. Two geometries (axisymmetric, free form components) with different component openings are formed to validate the proposed predictive methodology. Results indicate there is significant improvement (maximum error is less than 800 μm) in accuracy of components formed using compensated tool paths developed using proposed model. In addition, support tool maintained contact with component throughout forming (maximum force on the support tool is less than 60 N). © 2020 The Society of Manufacturing Engineers
