Abstract :
[en] In this paper, the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian formalism is used to compute the steady state of a 3D U-shaped cold roll forming process. Compared to the Lagrangian case, this method allows to keep a refined mesh near the tools, thus allowing accurate contact prediction all along the computation with a limited number of elements. Mesh can also be kept refined in the bending zone, thus leading to accurate representation of the sheet with a limited computational time. The main problem of this kind of simulation lies in the rezoning of the nodes on the free surfaces of the sheet. A modified iterative isoparametric smoother is used to manage this geometrically complex and CPU expensive task. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
