Parametric Study of Hemming Process and Evaluation of Hem Quality Using Simple Models

간이 모델을 이용한 헤밍 공정 변수 연구 및 헤밍 품질 평가

Hem quality can be determined mainly by turn-down and roll-in. Turn-down, that is created by the elastic recovery, can't be easily detected and measured since it is usually as small as 0.03 m. This study is focused on the precise evaluation of the hemming defects through analytical and experimetal approaches, and on the investigation of the influence of process parameters on the final hem quality. Implicit finite element analysis of plane-strain hemming process is performed by using a commercial code ABAQUS/Standard. Experiment and measurement is also carried out for steel and aluminium sheet metals, and the results are compared with those of analysis.
