Estimation of the Initial Blank Shape and Strain Distribution for Complicated Geometries in Sheet Metal Forming by a Nonlinear Inverse Finite Element Method

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.

Material Parameters

The finite element method is a widely used tool in sheet metal forming. The quality of the results of such an analysis depends largely on the applied constitutive model and its material parameters, which have to be determined experimentally. These data are relevant on the choice of the yield criterion among the wide range of options available in the commercial applications implementing the finite element method. Since the accuracy of material parameters estimation is therefore crucial, investigations were performed with an Al-Mg sheet alloy and a mild steel sheet to optimize a Miyauchi-based simple shear test. This method is one of the basic ways to investigate the plastic properties of a sheet metal up to large strains, which is very important for numerical analysis of sheet metal forming processes. Aim of the test is to determine the shear stress-strain correlation. In order to enhance the quality of the experimental results the detection of the deformation’s field, trough an optical measurement system, and the methodology for its evaluation are focus of the present study.

Element Method

Numerical simulation by finite element method has become a powerful tool in predicting and preventing the unwanted effects of sheet metals technological processing. One of the most important problems in sheet metal forming is the compensation of springback. To improve the accuracy of the formed parts, the die surfaces are required to be optimized so that after springback the geometry falls at the expected shape. This paper presents and discusses numerical simulation procedure of die compensation by using the methods of Simplified Displacement Adjustment (SDA). This analysis use Benchmark 3 models of Numisheet 2011. Sensitively analysis was done by using finite element method (FEM) show that the springback values are influenced by element size, integration points and material properties.
