Abstract

This study elaborates the bending process of Al 6061 aluminium alloy using three-point bend test. The permanent deformation takes place on the sheet metal strip as a result of severe plastic strain. One of the major issues in the sheet metal bending process is that the formation of spring back during unloading. This study involves combined design of experiment and finite element analysis to understand the bending and spring back behaviour of sheet metal. The elasto-plastic behaviour is studied by parametric numerical simulations. The static mechanical behaviour at ambient temperature is investigated for various thickness and radius of punch to achieve its correlations. The systematic approach is carried by developing numerical models of three-point bending of aluminium strips.
