FEM analysis of workpiece curvature influence on groove deformation during plough process

Abstract To investigate the workpiece curvature influence on groove deformation, numerical studies with curvature varying from negative to positive were conducted on copper material. Groove deformations were analyzed, including groove geometry, effective stress distribution and plough force. The curled groove shape whose workpiece curvature was 0.133 mm −1 was validated by experiments. Moreover, a series of geometry models with various curvatures were introduced to analyze the change of groove deformation. The results show that positive curvatures influence groove deformation more intensively than negative or zero curvature. It is mainly due to the action of the tool forming face during plough process.
