Abstract
- In the present work, a fully coupled thermo-mechanical analysis is presented to obtain the desired bend angle in the sheet made of AM30 magnesium alloy. The finite element method (FEM) based software ABAQUS 6.10 is employed to estimate the temperature, stress and strain distribution with time for different laser bending process parameters. An FEM proposed model is validated with the experimental results. Some parametric study has been performed to see the influence of laser process parameters on AM30 alloy. Single and multi-passes laser line heating is employed, and observed that the bend angle achieved in multi-passes is approximately 430% higher than the single pass. Hence, the results presented in this paper can be used to assess the applicability of AM30 magnesium alloy in laser-based forming industries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
