Hydroforming process is an effective method for manufacturing complicated parts. This process is quite sensitive to the characteristics of the pressure growth laws and the friction between the sheet and the elements of the tooling. In this work a numerical simulation has been carried out using the explicit finite element code LS-DYNA with the purpose to optimize a hydroforming process related to the achievement of an asymmetrical aeronautical component. In particular, the number of the steps of the manufacturing cycle actually used to produce the component has been reduced considering the FEM results.

Abstract
Hydroforming process is an effective method for manufacturing complicated parts. This process is quite sensitive to the characteristics of the pressure growth laws and the friction between the sheet and the elements of the tooling. In this work a numerical simulation has been carried out using the explicit finite element code LS-DYNA with the purpose to optimize a hydroforming process related to the achievement of an asymmetrical aeronautical component. In particular, the number of the steps of the manufacturing cycle actually used to produce the component has been reduced considering the FEM results.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
