Incremental Profile Forming: Physics Modeling
I developed and validated deformation models and characterized machine dynamics for Incremental Profile Forming.
Predicting how a tube deforms during Incremental Profile Forming (IPF) is a step toward better geometric accuracy and closed-loop control.
What I built: I developed finite element models of radial indentation and validated them against experiments. I also characterized machine and servo dynamics and developed simplified models for faster, control-oriented simulations. This work supports future closed-loop control development.
Tools and methods: Finite element analysis, experimental validation, machine dynamics modeling, and numerical simulation.
