Numerical Study on the Plastic Forming of Doubly Curved Surfaces of Aluminum Foam Sandwich Panel Using 3D Voronoi Model

Numerical Study on the Plastic Forming of Doubly Curved Surfaces of Aluminum Foam Sandwich Panel Using 3D Voronoi Model

This paper presents a numerical investigation on the plastic forming of doubly curved surfaces of aluminum foam sandwich panel (AFSP). A mesoscopic 3D Voronoi model that can describe the structure of closed-cell aluminum foam relatively realistically was established, and a series of numerical simula...
