✦ Synopsis

The paper is related to the analysis of shape distortions and springback effects arising in single point incremental sheet forming in order to study the use of a FE model based on shell elements to perform simulation of the process. A comparison between numerical and experimental results is made to assess the suitability of the model. The measurements of geometrical profile of a truncated cone and springback of cut rings show that the FE model allows to predict accurate results for a set of well defined process parameters. The deformation mechanism of ISF is taken into consideration to determine the limits of the model studied.
