OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

• The aluminum 1100 is chosen as the study material. This Project aims
to study bending properties of aluminum 1100 material in order to
know which of the following input parameter influence the result of
the material
• By the method of I9orthogonal array we will do ANOVA table to know
the impact of which input parameters has the major contribution
• Our input parameters are thickness of the material(0.8 - 2 mm),
number of global mesh(1-5) , and deformation depth (-20 - -36 mm)
Inference and relevance :

• In order to know which of the following input parameter influence the result of
the material
• So that the material can be choosed accordingly
• Since aluminum is one of the major used material used in every industry and its
important to know its impact parameter
• This concept can be even enlarged by giving structure to the plate and to know
their bending properties

DESCRIPTION
Springback is important crisis for
industries and evolving light weight
and high strength material are tested to
solve the problem. The study material
was AA7055 Aluminium alloy sheet.
The Glass-Fibre-Reinforced-Plastic
(GFRP) composite was the study
material. The experimental plan is for
creating prototype deck.
Three-point bending test is generally
basic and helpful test for deciding the
kinematic parameter of sheet materials
[3]The advantage of a three-point
bending test as is the simplicity of the
specimen arrangement and testing.
Fracture behaviour was simulated in
structure with the help of computation
software. This method reduces the time
to estimate the safety of engineering
structures and reduce the cost of
material.
THINGS INCLUDED
Springback role in industries
applications and it influence in
appearance and accuracy.[2]Reduce in
stress level due to internal damage in
sheet[2]Things effecting the final shape
of formed products.[2]
We can use the experimental value s to
compared with FEM method value to
know the accuracy of the simulation.[3]
We had taken some dimension value
from this research paper and we also
included some changes in the
parameter [4]We can you use their
experimental values and compare with
our results [4]
With the help pf numerical simulation
method and computer simulation
technology, we can obtain the capacity
of the material. It will give idea for
realistic structures [5]

METHODOLOGY
Work to be carried out:

• We will continue the same procedure the other experiments with

different one as said in L9OA the and we shall give overall variation in the
graph in upcoming review
• If we finish it soon, we will continue the same procedure for
cylindrical load
• If we finished easy we continue the graph ANOVA table to know the
which input parameters has the major contribution and if possible
regression
conclusion

• By end of this project we can able to know the affecting input

parameter and We could able to do a analyzing a material in
Abaqus
• And able to distinguish or compare between any two materials
and able to know their influencing parameters
• And able to select which materials can be situated for the
required conditions
• We would able to know what are the Input parameters which
contribute major impact of the result
