In this work, an inverse finite element formulation was modified for considering material anisotropy in obtaining blank shape and forming severity of deep drawn orthotropic parts. In this procedure, geometry of final part and thickness of initial blank sheet were known. After applying ideal forming formulations between material points of initial blank and final shape, an equation system was obt...

In the present work, forming limit diagrams and strain distribution profile diagrams for extra deep drawing steel at room and elevated temperatures have been determined experimentally by conducting stretch forming experiments by using designed and fabricated warm stretchforming tooling setup. With the help of forming Limit Diagrams (FLDs) and strain, distribution profile diagrams the formabilit...

Deep drawing of cylindrical shapes with high limiting drawing ratio (LDR) values is relatively difficult. Annealing is a further operation, which in turn adds costs and consumes significantly time to the forming process. In the present work, cylindrical cups from brass sheet were made with only limited anneal during few steps, but having LDR of 9 that is about 2 times higher than previous works...

the forming limit diagram (fld) is a useful method for characterizing the formability of sheet metals. in this paper, different numerical models were used to investigate the fld of tailor welded blank (twb). twbs were co2 laser-welded samples of interstitial-free (if) steel sheets with different thicknesses. the results of the numerical models were compared with the experimental fld as well as ...

This paper presents a new methodology for complete solution of general shape deep drawn parts. Evaluation of forming severity, estimation of the punch load and prediction of the thickness variation are the major results obtained in this work. The punch work is the summation of the homogenous work of flange deformation and bending and frictional works. To evaluate the strain energy of the flange...

in this paper, formation of wrinkling in bimetal deep drawing process has been investigated by the analytical, numerical and experimental methods. the effects of width of flange, fillet radii of matrix and punch, clearance of blank holder, contact conditions and relative thickness of two sheets on the number and height of wrinkle waves are studied. clearance and contact conditions have the grea...

In ultrasonic tube hydroforming, the tube is hydro formed while the ultrasonic vibration is applied to the die. Prior studies provide experimental proof that ultrasonic tube hydroforming reduces corner radius, improves lubrication and uniform thickness. Use of ultrasonic vibration can decrease friction at the tube-die interface. Few attempts have been made to analyze the wire drawing while the ...
