This study aims to find a solution to improve the formability in a deep drawing process. For this purpose drawbeads were used to avoid wrinkles and ruptures. The finite element method was applied to simulate the 3D metal forming process using a die and drawbead. The drawbead amount, position, size and form were studied for their affects on the formability. 3 drawbead patterns with 3 different heights were examined. The simulation was performed for each drawbead pattern and each drawbead geometrical parameter and the failure elements were counted. The best pattern chosen was the pattern that resulted in the least failure elements.

Metal forming process is a widely used manufacturing process especially in high volume metal production system. In this paper, the main objective is using Bubnov-Galerkin finite element model to derive the pressure field set up at various cross-sections of a metal blank during a forging process, and the four Lagrange quadratic elements were assembled to represent the various metal blank. The governing equation adopted for this paper is a one-dimensional differential equation describing the pressures exerted on the forging process. During the analysis, the various metal blanks are divided into a finite number of elements and the weighted integral form for each element were formed after applying the Bubnov-Galerkin weighted residual method. A matrix form under certain boundary conditions from the weighted residual method were used to obtain the pressure distribution across the cross-section of the various metal blanks. Finite element results are obtained for a value of a circular disc diameter, thickness, coefficient of friction, principal stress, length, and radius of a circular material. Finite element method and the Exact solution approach are used to achieve and compare both results. Furthermore, the combination of both methods shows that there are potentials for using this approach towards the optimization of metal forming in manufacturing processes and some engineering practices.

The application of computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques is becoming essential in modern metal-forming technology. Thus process modeling for the determination of deformation mechanics has been a major concern in research . In light of these developments, the finite element method--a technique by which an object is decomposed into pieces and treated as isolated, interacting sections--has steadily assumed increased importance. This volume addresses advances in modern metal-forming technology, computer-aided design and engineering, and the finite element method.
