Influence of Transverse Normal Pressure on Deformation Behavior of Sheet Metal
摘要
To investigate the influence of magnitude and distribution of the transverse normal pressure on deformation behavior of sheet metal,viscous pressure bulge test (VPB) of overlapping sheet metals is proposed,where the overlapped sheet metal is deformed under the dual-sided normal pressure provided by viscous medium and the overlapping sheet.The transverse normal pressure loading features provided by overlapping sheet metals are first simulated by DEFORM-2D.It shows that the magnitude and space distribution of transverse normal pressure are dependent on strain hardening exponent n-,strength coefficient K-and thickness t-values of the overlapping sheet metal.Based on the stress,deviator stress and strain distribution resulted from the finite element simulation,it indicated that the uniform transverse normal pressure has no effect on deviator stress,the figure and strain distribution of bulge specimens have no change.The non-uniform transverse normal pressure can remarkably change the figure and metal flow of specimens,and the formability of sheet metal can be improved by controlling the transverse normal pressure distribution.
