Design of Flexible Bulge Testing System for Evaluating the Influence of Size Effect on Thin Metal Sheets

Abstract:

Formability in sheet forming processes are usually analyzed by standardized tests, which often requires different test equipment associated with high initial investment cost. The present study purposes a flexible test tooling system for hydraulic bugle test apparatus that allows to evaluate the impact of size effect on the formability of thin metallic sheets. Finite Element Method was used for concept and design of the tooling system and experimental tests were carried out with thin sheets of SUS316L stainless steel to assess the overall performance of the tooling system.
