To comprehensively investigate the ramifications of different shot peening sequences on the structural integrity of aviation components, this study formulates a shot peening sequence model tailored to the cross-sectional features of H-shaped slide rails commonly found in aircraft, leveraging Abaqus and Python. Combining numerical simulations and experimental data, we utilize the Euclidean distance to assess the similarity of residual stress distribution curves. Effects of six different shot peening surface strengthening sequences on the residual stress distribution and deformation across each surface of the aircraft slide rail’s typical cross-section are analyzed. Results indicate that variability exists in the similarity of maximum residual stress distribution among surfaces subjected to different shot peening sequences. Notably, the fully symmetric strengthening sequence S4 yields the highest similarity in the residual stress distribution curve. Moreover, the maximum deformation of the workpiece groove exhibits a 26.3% disparity under various shot peening strengthening sequences. This indicates that an appropriately selected shot peening sequence can mitigate size errors arising from the strengthening process. This implies that a judiciously chosen shot peening strengthening sequence could enhance the overall shot peening quality of the component.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":591,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Material Forming","volume":"18 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143908646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, this study focuses on controlling the bending angle of a seat rail component manufactured by a renowned TIER1 company. This angle changes due to material, process fluctuations and post-forming springback. Two types of material, a cold-rolled Dual Phase DP980 steel and a Complex Phase CP980 high-strength steel, are both employed interchangeably when manufacturing this component. Variations in the mechanical properties and thickness of these two materials result in significant differences in post-springback bending angle. To tackle this challenge, various control strategies have been developed including a classical controller and a controller enhanced with a metamodel-based feedforward term. For the latter, two approaches were used: a simulation-based metamodel and an experimental data-based metamodel. Heuristic-based disturbances, reflecting both material variability and process changes (tool mounting variations, tool wear, gap changes and temperature variations), have been considered. To calibrate the new controller parameters and gains, a constrained-based genetic algorithm approach has been utilized together with a numerical virtualization of the process. After this virtual set-up, the new controllers have been tested experimentally in a real environment, using an industrial U-bending tool and a 4000 kN servomechanical press. The new controllers have proven to be an efficient method for enhancing the process robustness. A classical controller, employing a feedback control system, enabled consideration of part-to-part variations. On the other hand, the addition of a metamodel-based feedforward term facilitated anticipation of material properties and sheet thickness changes, thereby preventing scrap production.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":591,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Material Forming","volume":"18 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12289-025-01906-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143908645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The focus thereby lies on providing a validated framework for the automated evaluation of draping simulation results, rather than claiming perfect virtual representation of experimental draping. Three different metrics (deviations of fiber angles, the boundary contour and topological defects) are used to determine the overall draping quality of simulation results.

The clamps have a major influence on the process limits wrinkling and slippage of the in-plane torsion test. The size and the surface structure of the clamping on the process limit of slipping and wrinkling is investigated. Results show that a ring-shaped clamping surface can transmit up to 50% more torque at the same clamping force compared to a full-circle clamping surface. Investigations show that torque transmission through plain clamping surfaces is not possible for thin sheets (<i>t</i> = 0.5 to 3.0 mm). In order to enable torque transmission in spite of this, the structuring of the clamping surface is necessary. Therefore, radial serrations are well suited, to ensure a homogenous torque transmission over the circumference. An analytical approach was developed and numerically validated, that can determine the indentation depth, the maximum transmittable torque and the necessary clamping force for radial serrations. The geometrical and material specific influence on the process boundary of wrinkling was analyzed and a material independent recommendation for the geometrical shape of the clamps was proposed.

The findings reveal that excessive thinning in the extrados during RDTB is mitigated during the subsequent THF operation. Similarly, excessive thickening in the intrados during RDTB is counteracted by the stretching and thinning effects of THF.
