Due to limitations of finite element methods and software packages, existing in incorporating the imperfections in to the model. The parametric study of BHF, sheet thickness, die profile radius, punch profile radius, initial yield stress and sheet anisotropy and including imperfections is carried out by the model developed by Ravindra.K.Saxena [1, 2, 3]. The mathematical model is studied and va...

In the current work, cup drawing experiments with laser assistance are presented where only selected areas of the work piece have been heated up. Since the strongest deformations occur at the outer circumference of the blank, only that area has been heated up by a defocused laser beam. Selective laser heating of the work pieces was performed by diode as well as Nd:YAG laser radiation. The formi...

In most of the sheet forming processes, production of the parts with minimum thickness variation and low required force is important. In this research, minimization of the sheet thinning and forming force in the hydraulic deep drawing process has been studied. Firstly, the process is simulated using the finite element method (FEM) and simulation model is verified using the experimental results....
