Abstract:In a roll forming process, a desired profile is produced through continuous bending of a sheet metal strip. Occurrences of spring back, twist, and bow are major defects in roll formed profiles. We developed a dedicated analysis program based on the elastic-plastic finite element method to simulate roll forming processes with asymmetrical shaped rolls. We applied the augmented Lagrangian technique in contact algorithm and a pre-determined deformation region division method for computation efficiency. A simplifi… Show more
