In the last decades, numerical simulation has gradually extended its applicability in the field of sheet metal forming. Constitutive modeling and formability are two domains closely related to the development of numerical simulation tools. This paper is focused, on the one hand, on the presentation of new phenomenological yield criteria developed in the last decade, which are able to describe the anisotropic response of sheet metals, and, on the other hand, on new models and experiments to predict/determine the forming limit curves.

During the last three decades, numerical simulation has gradually extended its applicability in the field of sheet metal forming. Constitutive modeling is one of the domains closely related to the development of numerical simulation tools. The paper is devoted to a comprehensive testing of the advanced materials models as implemented in the finite-element code. The test proves the capability of the advanced materials models response of DC04 steel sheet to describe the effects of the plastic anisotropy of the sheet metals subjected to industrial forming processes.

The Finite Element Analysis

In order to solve the problem existed in the numerical simulation of sheet metal forming for its use the strain-based forming limit diagram as criterion, which has the flaw of dependence on the strain paths, this paper develops the finite element analysis program based on the stress forming limit criterion applicable to the blank plastic forming technique, which follows the stress-strain transformation relationship when the sheet metal is undergoing plastic deformation, chooses Hill’s quadratic normal anisotropic criterion as computational model and selects the commercial finite element code Dynaform as its development environment. Also it be analyzed the finite element numerical simulation results of two deep drawing parts by the developed program module and realizes the prediction of sheet metal forming limit adopting the FLSD as criterion. The stress-based forming limit criterion for the developed program provides a new means to analyze the forming limit for the multistage sheet metal forming.

Complex Measuring

Forming limit curves are very important for the prediction of failure during sheet metal forming both in practical forming operations and particularly in numerical simulations. The reliability of numerical simulations in sheet metal forming processes is strongly influenced by the reliability of forming limit curves. Therefore, both the theoretical aspects and the experimental determination of the forming limit curves are challenging problems for scientific researchers and industrial practitioners as well. There are various experimental techniques and mathematical models used to determine the forming limit curves. In spite of the standardization efforts made recently by several institutions world wide, there are still significant differences in determining the forming limit curves. Recently, a new, complex measuring system capable for the automatic determination of FLCs was installed at the Department of Manufacturing Engineering. In this paper, first a short overview will be given on the theoretical background of FLCs, then the application of the complex measuring system will be shown.

Maximum Thickness

Maximum thickness reduction ratio is used to predict sheet metal forming limit in the numerical simulation of forming process. The maximum thickness reduction ratio under different stain path is not a constant for the same material. The effect of strain path and strain hardening exponent on forming limit is considered. The relationship between the maximum thickness reduction ratio that the material can obtained and the strain path between tensile to equi-biaxial is established. The parameter in the criterion can be determined by tensile experiment combined with numerical simulation of the same forming process. Then the limit strains under other linear strain paths between tensile to equi-biaxial can be determined by the criterion combined with numerical simulation of corresponding forming process. Forming limits of three kinds of sheet metals are predicted with the modified maximum thickness reduction ratio criterion. Good agreement is achieved between the predicted data and the experimental data.

The multi-step forward finite element method is presented for the numerical simulation of multi-step sheet metal forming. The traditional constitutive relationship is modified according to the multi-step forming processes, and double spreading plane based mapping method is used to obtain the initial solutions of the intermediate configurations. To verify the multi-step forward FEM, the two-step simulation of a stepped box deep-drawing part is carried out as it is in the experiment. The comparison with the results of the incremental FEM and test shows that the multi-step forward FEM is efficient for the numerical simulation of multi-step sheet metal forming processes.

Incremental Sheet Metal Forming

Development of new technologies and processes for small batch and prototype production of sheet metal components has a very important role in the recent years. The reason is the quick and efficient response to the market demands. For this reasons new manufacturing concepts have to be developed in order to enable a fast and reliable production of complex components and parts without investing in special forming machines. The need for flexible forming processes has been accelerated during the last 15 years, and by these developments the technology reaches new extensions. Incremental sheet metal forming (ISMF) may be regarded as one of the promising developments for these purposes. A comprehensive research work is in progress at the University of Miskolc (Hungary) to study the effect of important process parameters with particular emphasis on the shape and dimensional accuracy of the products and particularly on the formability limitations of the process. In this paper, some results concerning the determination of forming limit diagrams for single point incremental sheet metal forming will be described.
