Numeral Simulation of a New Forming Process: Stretch Forming Combined with Roll Forming

In this study, the principle of the stretch forming combined with roll forming(SRF) is proposed, to present the availability of this process, it is simulated by the Method of Finite Element Analysis(FEA) by comparing traditional stretch forming(SF) with stretch roll forming (SRF), the result is shown that the roller covered the rubber rolling sheet metal is benefit to formed part, such as Von mises stress, the thickness thinned and the coincidence curve of formed part are studied.
