Abstract The paper presents a method for determining forming limit curves based on a combination of experiments with finite element analysis. In the experiment a set of 6 samples with different geometries underwent plastic deformation in stretch forming till the appearance of fracture. The heights of the stamped parts at fracture moment were measured. The sheet - metal forming process for each sample was numerically simulated using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The values of the calculated plastic strains at the moment when the simulated cup reaches the height of the real cup at fracture initiation were marked on the FLC. FLCs for stainless steel sheets: ASM 5504, 5596 and 5599 have been determined. The resultant FLCs are then used in the numerical simulations of sheet - metal forming. A comparison between the strains in the numerically simulated drawn - parts and limit strains gives the information if the sheet - metal forming process was designed properly.

Incremental Sheet Metal Forming

Driven by an increasing demand from the aerospace industry, thin sheet forming of titanium and its alloys is gaining prominence in scientific research. The design and manufacture of aerospace components requires the utmost precision and accuracy. It is essential to have good control over the process parameters of the forming process. Processes such as incremental sheet metal forming (ISMF) are highly controlled in the current manufacturing environment, but improvements in geometric accuracy and thinning are still needed. Although ISMF has greater process competence for manufacturing airframe structures with minimal costs, the process has its own negative effect on geometric accuracy due to elastic springback and sheet thinning. In this study, finite element analysis and experimental work are performed, considering process parameters such as spindle speed, feed rate, step depth, and tool diameter, to study the geometric accuracy and thinning of Ti–6Al–4V alloy sheet, while incrementally forming an aerospace component with asymmetrical geometry. The results are useful for understanding the geometric accuracy and thinning effects on parts manufactured by single point incremental forming (SPIF). Results from finite element analysis and experimental work are compared and found to be in good agreement.

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.

Aluminum is one of the most popular metal in a wide variety of applications in manufacturing of components for airplanes, automobiles, house hold etc. A wide variety of parts are manufactured using aluminum sheet of different alloy composition. Wrinkling of sheet metal is the most undesirable phenomenon in sheet metal forming, drawing, punching and other similar manufacturing processes. Current research is focused on Finite Element Analysis of Aluminum 6061-T6 sheet to simulate onset and growth of wrinkles of various thicknesses using ANSYS. Based on the results a comparison was drawn between the wrinkling behaviors at varying load values.
