A simplified method for the simulation of cold-roll forming

From MaRDI portal





A kinematical approach is proposed for predicting the optimal shape and the deformed length of a metal sheet during cold-roll forming, before the first roll stand. The middle surface of the sheet is described as a Coons patch depending on one geometrical parameter. A velocity field is then defined on this surface so that the plastic work rate depends only on this single geometrical parameter. Its minimization gives the optimal shape for a strain-hardening rigid-plastic material.
