Abstract

Hydro-forming technology is one of the most popular techniques for manufacturing of tabular shape component. This technique is mainly used for tube hydro forming [THF] and sheet work [SHF] with the use of high pressure fluid. In the heavily populated countries like India, Indonesia and China, maximum population opt two wheelers for their primary use of transportation. This arise competition between the industries for advance manufacturing and continuity in qualitative product delivery and also with cost and time savings. Hydro forming process emerges rapidly; forming process is very fast that forms raw material in to final product by flow into a die cavity, achieving final component shape. This content of work is task for the process evaluation with the help of modeling and FEA-Simulation of the hydro forming process for the tabular shape component using LS-DYNA software. The analysis is comparative study of the effect of parameters like distribution of stress along the surface of component for validation purpose.
