Optimization Of Bending Process Parameters For HSLA420 Material Sheet: Experimental Analysis And Stress Evaluation

Abstract

In the dynamic landscape of the engineering industry, there is a persistent emphasis on achieving precision and intricacy in the bending of components. This study delves into an exhaustive examination of parameters governing the bending process, including the bending angle of the punch, die opening, deformation stress, and elasticity, specifically in the context of bending V-shaped bars utilizing alloy steel HSLA420. Employing advanced computational tools like ABAQUS SIMULIA software, simulations are conducted using the finite element method (FEM) in conjunction with Taguchi and analysis of variance (ANOVA) techniques. The investigation unravels crucial insights into aspects like tensile stress, compression, and the intricate phenomenon of reverse-forward elasticity during the simulation of V-bar bending. Remarkably, comparisons with prior research findings elucidate the consistency between simulation outcomes and experimental observations, underscoring the reliability and validity of the proposed methodology.
