2C - SHEET METAL FORMABILITY –MATERIAL PROPERTIES, FAILUREAND SIMULATION

This workshop is intended to assist allthose involved in the design of sheetmetal components to identify the keymaterial properties and potential failuremodes during manufacture. The sessionwill demonstrate how CAE methods canbe used to simulate the manufacturingmethod in order to identify any potentialproblems with the process and establish ifpart design changes are required.

WORKSHOP TOPICS – PART 1:

• Introduction to sheet metal formingprocesses

• Characterisation of sheet metalmaterial properties for use insimulation

• Definition of processfailureSimulations

CALCULATING BULK SCALE BEHAVIOURFROM MICROSTRUCTURES

Computational Structural MechanicsWorking Group

Modern engineering uses material designto obtain advantageous properties forchallenging applications. This materialdesign is underpinned by advancedsimulation methods that use knowledgeof the microstructure of the materials topredict the bulk-scale material response.This session will focus on one suchtechnique, crystal plasticity finite elementanalysis, and will serve as an introductionto what it does and how it can be used.
