Abstract

The characters of flexible clamp stretch forming (FCSF) is introduced, the finite element model of FCSF is set up, and lots of numerical simulations for spherical part and saddle-shaped part are carried out. Contradistinctive analysis of strain, thickness and transitional length between RCSF and FCSF are investigated, and the minimum transitional length diagram of spherical part and saddle-shaped part are determined. FCSF machine was developed, and the forming experiment of spherical part was done. Consequently, the spherical part has good surface quality, which proves that the FCSF technology is feasible and the simulated results are valid.
