In order to solve the associated problems in the process planning of complicated shape workpiece, the forming mechanism, the temperature and deformation rules, the method of forming accuracy control as well as process planning of complex shapes in the laser forming process are studied profoundly in the dissertation by experiment, numerical simulation and theoretical analysis.
According to the strain field requirement of complicated shape forming, the temperature gradient mechanism and the upsetting mechanism are discussed further based on the strain distribution after laser forming, under which the plate produce the bending strain and plane strain, respectively.
As a forming method of hot accumulation, in comparison with conventional metal forming process, it requires no dies and external forces, especially, it is suitable for the hard and brittle materials forming and low volume production.
