Springback prediction of variable curvature bending for minor diameter thick-walled tube

To predict the springback of variable curvature tube forming quickly and accurately, mathematic analytic model for springback prediction of variable curvature tube bending is established. Using software ABAQUS, the bending and springback processes of minor diameter thick-walled tube are simulated to reveal the springback laws, and the accuracy and reliability are proved by experiments. First, the springback of variable curvature tube bending is transformed into discrete constant curvature problem and the mathematics relationship of the radius before and after springback can be built by the approximate pure bending springback experiment. Then the tube axis is segmented with biarc-curve fitting, merged with first-order geometric continuity, and compensated with modified function according to the axis complexity, to establish mathematic analytic model for springback prediction of variable curvature tube bending. Finally, the feasibility, reliability and accuracy of the model are proved. This model is useful for the maintenance of the bending die and will ensure the requirements of geometric accuracy of the variable curvature tube bending.
