A 3D elastic-plastic FE model for simulating the force controlled stretch-bending process of double-cavity aluminum profile was established using hybrid explicit−implicit solvent method. Considering the computational accuracy and efficiency, the optimal choices of numerical parameters and algorithms in FE modelling were determined. The formation mechanisms of cross-section distortion and springback were revealed. The effects of pre-stretching, post-stretching, friction, and the addition of internal fillers on forming quality were investigated. The results show that the stress state of profile in stretch-bending is uniaxial with only a circumferential stress. The stress distribution along the length direction of profile is non-uniform and the maximum tensile stress is located at a certain distance away from the center of profile. As aluminum profile is gradually attached to bending die, the distribution characteristic of cross-section distortion along the length direction of profile changes from V-shape to W-shape. After unloading the forming tools, cross-section distortion decreases obviously due to the stress relaxation, with a maximum distortion difference of 13% before and after unloading. As pre-stretching and post-stretching forces increase, cross-section distortion increases gradually, while springback first decreases and then remains unchanged. With increasing friction between bending die and profile, cross-section distortion slightly decreases, while springback increases. Cross-section distortion decreases by 83% with adding PVC fillers into the cavities of profile, while springback increases by 192.2%. |
