Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Local Mechanical Properties of Drawn Part

In this study, numerical and experimental results of deep drawing process were compared. Drawn part, used in automotive industry was drawn and measured using ARGUS measurement system, which works on a digital image correlation method (DIC). In order to optimize and verify accuracy of a numerical simulation results, this process was modeled in two codes which work on principle of the finite element method (FEM). Two types of FEM codes were used. Code which works on base of both, implicit and explicit time integration scheme, were used for calculation. Results were compared and discussed.

Local Strain Hardening and Non-Uniformity of Plastic Strain of Tinplate

During evaluation of the mechanical properties of tinplate for packaging industry by uniaxial tensile test, a non-uniform plastic strain occurs very often. This phenomenon results from the fact, that the plastic deformation is not uniformly developed throughout the measured section. There is a localization of deformation in one or more places resulting in local changes of the tinplate ́s mechanical properties. This paper deals with local strain hardening and non-uniformity of plastic strain of the tinplate temper TH415CA during uniaxial tensile test. Based on micro hardness measurements in the following locally deformed areas, local changes of mechanical properties of the tinplate were determined. The reasons of early strain localization were assumed by microstructural analysis. In the present work are considering partial aspects of the problem focusing on the properties of the local strain hardening and their consequences for stability of uniform plastic strain.

THE SENSITIVITY OF A PHOTOGRAMMETRIC METHOD IN FORMABILITY ANALYSIS

Abstract Nowadays is a possible to implement numerical simulation and photogrammetric inspection to the complex process chain of inspection. In the recent years there has been significant progress in accuracy improving of these methods of inspection in pre-production or post-production stage of manufacturing. This article discusses these two methods from sensitivity and comparison point of view. Most attention has been paid to the photogrammetric method and his sensitivity to using different approaches. Results were compared with the result of numerical simulation and experiment. Numerical simulation was performed in static implicit finite element code Autoform. For this purpose, GPS cover of galvanized steel of DQ category was used for inspection. In this paper was proved that photogrammetric method of strain measurement is highly sensitive on the various external factors. Further results and findings are included in the next chapters of this paper

Optical Investigation of Component Made by FDM Technology

3D printed plastic components are nowadays frequently used parts in all areas of industrial sphere. These components are often made by FDM technology. The main advantage of this technology is quick manufacturing process, price and also possibility of producing complex parts. This paper is aimed to the component made by FDM technology from the view of their strength. Specially designed chair was loaded by different force and the maximum load before destruction was measured. Chair was under inspection of two different optical strain measurement systems working on different principles. System PONTOS working on the principle of digital photogrammetry and system ARAMIS working on the principle of digital image correlation were used. These systems were used in order to investigate and identify weak places of this chair.

An Investigation of Springback in Sheet Metal Forming of High Strength Steels

Redistribution of residual stresses in a stamped sheet metal leads to the springback phenomenon. Springback phenomenon is well predicted for some mild steel materials, but not for steels with higher strengths. Nowadays, one of the most used tools to stamping optimization is usage of numerical simulations. In this paper was investigated sheet metal behavior under cyclic tension-compression test. Special fixture which serves as a buckling prevention of sheet metal in the compression phase of measuring stress-strain curve was designed. Obtained stress-strain curve was used to the definition of kinematic hardening model in numerical simulation. This model was verified with the real experiment in deep drawing process.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Sheet Metal Behavior under Cyclic Tension-Compression Loading

Measurement of hardening under reversed uniaxial loading is because of its simplicity very effective mechanical test to achieve several important features of material behavior. In this paper is described special fixture which serves as a prevention of the sheet buckling during the cyclic tension-compression test. Result of the cyclic tension-compression test can consider several important features of the material behavior, which are necessary to be defined in the numerical simulation process. Experimental part of this paper consists of comparison results of strain path obtained from numerical simulation and real experiment. While in numerical simulation process was used material model describing isotropic hardening, real material behaved differently. Difference between strain paths also causes differences between results of springback values obtained in numerical simulation. New material models which include Bauschinger effect whether workhardening stagnation can diminish differences between results of an experiment and a numerical simulation and thus may also improve accuracy of the numerical simulation.

Cyclic Test of DP600 Steel under Tension-Compression Load for Different Pre-Strain Levels

Modeling sheet metal forming operations requires understanding of the plastic behavior of the sheet metal along the non-proportional strain paths. Measurement of hardening under reversed uniaxial loading is because of its simplicity very effective mechanical test to achieve several important features of material behavior. With the reversed uniaxial loading can be examined features as Bauschinger effect, work hardening stagnation, permanent softening etc., which are necessary to defined kinematic hardening in the numerical simulations. The biggest problem of uniaxial reversed loading is buckling of the sheet metal during the compression phase. In this article is described development of the simple fixture, used for the reversed uniaxial loading and results of tension-compression test for the steel DP 600 in various pre-strain levels are specified.
