Springback is one of the most common and important issues in metal forming area. Due to the fact that springback depends on a variety of parameters, it is hard to predict. Hence, in this paper, the effect of continuum damage mechanics (CDM) on springback was investigated based on the Lemaitre isotropic unified damage law. Swift’s hardening law was employed to describe isotropic hardening behavi...

Abstract Today, the hardening Yoshida-Uemori model is implemented in most used FEA stamping codes (Autoform®, Pamstamp®, LS-Dyna®…) with occasionally some variations. This forming material card requested regularly by car manufacturers. The a combined coupled elastic evolution modulus which depends on equivalent plastic strain. According to experimental tests conducted and their identification p...

A lot of research made during these last 15 years showed that the quantification of the springback has a significant role in the industry of sheet metal forming. These studies were made with the objective of finding techniques and methods to minimize or completely avoid this permanent physical variation. Moreover, the use of steel and aluminum alloys in the car industry and aviation poses every...

Springback, the geometric difference between the loaded and unloaded configurations, is affected by many factors, such as material properties, sheet thickness, lubrication conditions, tooling geometry and processing parameters. It is extremely difficult to develop an analytical model for springback control including all these factors. The proposed neural network model is an attempt to deal with...

ABSTRACT This paper refers to some numerical simulation and experimental tests related to forming and springback of a part manufactured from tailor welded blanks. Final shape of the formed part is seriously affected by springback effect. This paper work is trying to prove out the important role of welding line placement has on the springback phenomenon. The influence of the welding line placeme...

This paper deals with some numerical simulation and experimental tests related to forming and springback of a rectangular part manufactured from tailor welded blanks. Final shape of the parts manufactured by tailor welded blanks is seriously affected by springback effect. This paper work is trying to prove out the important role of material rolling direction has on the springback reduction. The...

This paper aims at experimental and numerical investigation of springback behavior of sheet metals during Lbending process with emphasis on Stribeck-type friction modeling. The coefficient of friction in Stribeck curve depends on sliding velocity and contact pressure. The springback behavior of mild steel and aluminum alloy 6022-T4 sheets was studied experimentally and using numerical simulatio...

ABSTRACT The cold plastic forming of metal sheets generates a undesired phenomenon known as springback. Springback occurs after the tools were removed and the forming forces become equal to zero – and leads to a shape of the final part different from the theoretical ones. The study and analysis of the factors that influence this phenomenon is useful for the accurate design of the forming proces...

The introduction on large scale of high strength materials in automotive industry provided the possibility to reduce weight and produce safer cars. But at the same time these materials yield more springback than deep drawing steels. This can lead to problems designing the right tools for the forming process. This paper presents a method for the optimization of sheet metal forming parameters in ...
