The deep-drawability of a sheet metal blank is strongly influenced by the tribological conditions prevailing in deep-drawing process. Therefore, new methods to influence tribology represent an important research topic. In this work, application process-integrated lubrication process investigated. Most promising geometries channels and outlet openings are first identified means numerical simulat...

Hutchinson approach has been successfully used by a number of researchers in thin sheet metal forming processes for wrinkling prediction. However, Hutchinson approach is limited to regions of the sheet that are free of any contact. Therefore, a new wrinkling indicator that can be used in the contact areas is proposed. Discretisation error indicators are also used to present a comprehensive appr...
