A NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF A LINE HEATING PROCESS FOR PLATE FORMING

This paper presents a three-dimensional simulation of the line heating process with practical data and suggests a computerized process of line heating for practical applications. Based on the understanding of the mechanics of line heating, modelling of the heating torch, water cooling, and plate to be formed is proposed for finite element analysis. The validity of the modelling is checked by comparing the results of temperature fields with published theoretical results. The effect of torch speed and cooling methods are discussed. Finally a saddle-type shell is generated by the proposed model.
