Forming limit curves are used as a parameter in finite element analysis to control the material's level of formability. In this research, forming limit diagram (FLD) of SS304L sheet was obtained by ABAQUSfinite element software. In practice, the experimental determination of a forming limit curve is a very time-consuming procedure which requires special and expensive equipment. Forming limit di...

The automotive industry has increased significantly the use of advanced high strength steels (AHSS) in many structural components, with the aim to reduce weight and also to increase safety. The high resistance of these steels is accompanied by a decrease in formability, which makes simulation a requirement to adequately foresee the formability of a particular stretch formed component. This work...

An enhanced unfolding Inverse Finite Element Method (IFEM) has been used together with an extended strain-based forming limit diagram (EFLD) to develop a fast and reliable approach to predict the feasibility of the deep drawing process of a part and determining where the failure or defects can occur. In the developed unfolding IFEM, the meshed part is properly fold out on the flat sheet and tre...

forming limit diagram (fld) is an important diagram by which the formability of sheet metals is studied. strain rate is a very effective parameter influencing the fld which is, in turn, influenced by the forming velocity. in this work, forming limit diagram for st14 was investigated both experimentally and numerically. in addition, the effect of forming velocity was studied and the experiments ...

because of high strength to weight ratio, 6061 aluminum has many applications in different industries like automotive and aerospace industries and can help to reduction of fuel consumption. forming limit diagram (fld) is a useful method for sheet metal formability identification. whereas calculation of forming limit diagram by experimental tests is expensive and time consumption, in the present...

more recently, titanium and aluminum alloys are gaining more interests to be implemented in hydro-forming applications. it is necessary to predict forming limits for these sheet alloys. forming limits play an important role in metal forming processes. forming limit diagrams, present the limit strains for various linear strain paths. in other hand, forming limit curve (flc), illustrates localize...

Two-layer metallic sheets have wide applications in various industries due to their superlative characteristics. This paper presents analytical model to investigate the formability of two-layer sheets based on Marciniak and Kuckzinsky (M-K) method using Barlat and Lian non-quadratic yield criterion. FEM simulation is also performed to calculate the forming limits based on bifurcation theory. Fo...

in this study, an extended stress-based forming limit diagram (fld) for prediction of necking based on the marciniak and kucznski (m-k) model is represented and applied in tube hydroforming. the bulge forming of a straight tube is simulated by finite element method and verified with published experimental data. this adaptive simulation technique is based on the ability to detect the onset and g...
