Numerical Investigation of Spring Back on Sheet Metal Bending Process
Spring back is the main defect in sheet metal bending process. The spring back of sheet metal bending, which is defined as elastic recovery of the part during un loading conditions. It should be taken in to considerations so as to produce bent sheet metal parts within acceptable quality. Spring back is affected by the factors such as; sheet thickness, tooling geometry, friction condition; material property and processing parameters. In this research the numerical investigation of Spring back on edge bending die process is done.. The numerical Analysis is done using ANSYS LS-DYNA. The influence of sheet metal thickness, sheet metal type, friction, tool radius and tool shape on spring back for Aluminium, copper, mild steel and High strength steels, sheet metal have been considered for investigations.
