| Abstract Scope |
Additively manufactured (AM) metallic sheets with internal cellular structures are formed in a bending operation. This enables a higher degree of lightweighting potential due to design freedom and strain hardening. Computer tomography (CT) of those structures with wall thicknesses of 0.3 mm reveal manufacturing inaccuracies of the AM-process between the CAD and actual geometry of up to 30%. The CT-data shows that the geometric deviation of the unit cells is periodic. A surface model based on CT-data is used to evaluate volume-meshing strategies in a finite element model, benefiting from the periodicity of the core structure. With the CT-based numerical model, the accuracy in predicting force-displacement response can be increased, when compared to the ideal CAD-based model. It is demonstrated that accurate representation of the actual geometry in the numerical model is critical for a correct prediction of the bending behavior and the investigation of localization phenomena during deformation. |
