Modeling and numerical simulation of sheet metal damage
01 June 2018 Project SheetINEGI's Contribution
- Experimental tests and characterization of the material behavior.
- Case studies and model validation.
Results/Impact
- Improved products and manufacturing processes, through a computational application to better predicting and consequently expanding deformation possibilities of metallic materials when designing stamping processes.
- Reliable prediction of material behavior in sheet metal forming, thus permitting exploring higher strains in complex strain paths, in parallel with assessing the influence of damage history for in-service structural behavior, thus contributing to a more efficient design of components with the flexibility to being used for latest generations of advanced metallic materials.
