Verification Of Forming Force,Major And Minor Strain For UHMWPE For Single Point Incremental Formingby Using Experimental And Analytical Approach.

Abstract

Mass Production is indeed need of every Industry such as automotive, Medical (artificial limb), aerospace, and appliances industries, which is in the form of conventional metal forming processes, such as Press work. However, for batch productions, novel flexible manufacturing processes, such as incremental sheet forming (ISF) must be utilized to decrease the production costs. Studying the process parameters in ISF process such as, the step size, tool size, feed rate, spindle speed, and wall angle is essential as they are affecting the formability and deformation behaviour of this process on UHMWPE which has promising application in medical field. The purpose of this study was to investigate the Spring Back, Twist, Dimensional Accuracy, forming limit diagram, comparison of experimental forming time and Analytical forming Time, comparison of Major Strain and Minor Strain commutated by experimental and analytical by using FEM and comparison of forming force computed by experimental and analytical by using FEM.
