A simplified one-step inverse analysis of sheet metal forming is a suitable tool to simulate the bending forming since the deformation path of bending forming is an approximately proportion one. A fast spring-back simulation method based on one-step analysis is proposed. First, the one-step inverse analysis is applied to obtain the stress distribution at the final stage of bending. Then, the unloading to get a spring back is simulated by LS-DYNA implicit solver. These processes are applied to the unconstrained cylindrical bending and the truck member rail. The spring-back and member rail widths at the several key sections are compared with experimental ones. It is well demonstrated that the proposed method is an effective way to predict the spring-back by unloading after bending process.
