The present paper aims to study the behavior of tailor welded blanks subjected a single point incremental forming (SPIF) process from an experimental view. This was chosen deform truncated cone shapes AA1050 aluminum alloy with different thicknesses. A uniaxial tensile test performed determine mechanical characteristics alloy. Initial tests implicated use variable wall angle parts which were pr...

This paper presents a direct substructuring method to reduce the computing time of implicit simulations of single point incremental forming (SPIF). Substructuring is used to divide the finite element (FE) mesh into several non-overlapping parts. Based on the hypothesis that plastic deformation is localized, the substructures are categorized into two groups: the plastic—nonlinear—substructures a...

Abstract Polymeric matrix composites (PMCs) have gained increasing relevance in different industrial applications and their employment results to be a necessity the production of lightweight structures. The manufacturing solutions, which allow properly shape PMC panels, need molds for shaping material reducing process flexibility. In this context, single point incremental forming (SPIF) could v...

New methods in metal forming are rapidly developing and several processes used to optimize manufacturing components reduce cost production. Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) is a sheet process for rapid prototyping applications small batch This work dedicated the investigation of profile geometry thickness evolution truncated pyramid. The influence parameters during SPIF also studied. A n...

Owing to the relatively lower dimensional accuracy and poorer surface finish compared other additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, directed energy deposition (DED) yields parts that often require extensive post-processing. Thus, it is well suited be combined with subtractive or deformation processes into hybrid strategies, which may enable microstructure engineering of near-net-shape directl...

Abstract Putting in place circular economy strategies is an urgent challenge to face. In this scenario, manufacturing processes play a relevant role as efficient material reuse enabler. Scientists have make effort either find new process or rethink old reprocess end-of-life (EoL) component recover both and functions. paper, single point incremental forming (SPIF) used for reshaping sheet metal ...
