Prediction of flange wrinkling in deep drawing process using bifurcation criterion

Surface distortions in the form of wrinkles are often observed in sheet metals during stamping and other forming operations. Because of the trend in recent years towards thinner, higher-strength sheet metals, wrinkling is increasingly becoming a more common and troublesome mode of failure in sheet metal forming. The prediction and prevention of wrinkling during a sheet forming process are important issues for the design of part geometry and processing parameters. This paper treats the phenomenon of flange wrinkling as a bifurcated solution of the equations governing the deep drawing problem when the flat position of the flange becomes unstable. Hill’s bifurcation criterion is used to predict the onset of flange wrinkling in circular and square cup drawing. In particular, the maximum cup height that can be drawn without the onset of flange wrinkling is predicted for the given set of process parameters. A parametric study of the maximum cup height is also carried out with respect to various geometric, material and process parameters. Finite element formulation, based on the updated Lagrangian approach, is employed for the analysis. The incremental logarithmic strain measure, which allows the use of a large incremental deformation, is used. The stresses are updated in a material frame. The material is assumed to be elastic–plastic, strain hardening, yielding according to an anisotropic yield criterion of Barlat et al. (2005) [23] (named as Yld2004-18p). Isotropic power law hardening is assumed. Inertia forces are neglected due to small accelerations. Modified Newton–Raphson iterative technique is used to solve the nonlinear incremental equations.

Analytical prediction of stepped feature generation in multi-pass single point incremental forming

Single point incremental forming (SPIF) is a new sheet metal forming process characterized by higher formability, product independent tooling and greater process flexibility. The inability of conventional single pass SPIF to form vertical walls without failure is overcome by forming multiple intermediate shapes before forming the final component, i.e., multi-pass single point incremental forming (MSPIF). A major issue with MSPIF is significant geometric inaccuracy of the formed component, due to the generation of stepped features on the base. This work proposes analytical formulations that are shown to accurately and quantitatively predict the stepped feature formation in MSPIF. Additionally, a relationship is derived among the material constants used in these analytical equations, the yield stress and thickness of the blank material, such that the computational effort required for the calibration of these constants can be minimized. Finally, the physical effects of yield stress and sheet thickness on the rigid body translation are further discussed.

An Analytical Prediction of Flange Wrinkling in Sheet Metal Forming

Wrinkling is one of the major defects in sheet metal forming. The ability to accurately predict the occurrence of wrinkling is critical to the design of tooling and processing parameters. An analytical approach for predicting the onset of flange wrinkling is presented. This method is based on the wrinkling criterion proposed by Cao and Boyce for predicting the buckling behavior of sheet metal under normal constraint. Using a combination of energy conservation and plastic bending theory, the analysis provides the critical buckling stress and wavelength as functions of normal pressure. The results are in excellent agreement with those obtained from Cao and Boyce's numerical approach, and also match well with the experimental results of a square cup forming. In addition, the effects of material properties on the wrinkling behavior are also discussed. The analytical method significantly reduces computational time and is suitable for direct engineering application.

Numerical modelling of electrohydraulic free-forming and die-forming of DP590 steel

Electrohydraulic forming (EHF) is a high energy rate forming process in which the strain rate in the sheet metal can vary from 5 × 10² to 10⁵ s⁻¹ depending on various factors. Several mechanisms have been reported to cause an improvement in formability in EHF such as material deformation mechanisms, inertial effects and the dynamic impact of the sheet against the die. EHF is a complex high speed forming process and experimental work alone is not sufficient to properly understand this process. To understand the variation of some influential variables in EHF, electrohydraulic die-forming (EHDF) and free-forming (EHFF) of DP590 dual phase steel were simulated in ABAQUS/Explicit by considering the fluid/structure interactions. Three-dimensional finite element simulations were conducted by modelling the water with Eulerian elements with a view to investigating the effect of released energy on the sheet deformation profile history, strain distribution, loading path and damage accumulation type. The Johnson–Cook constitutive material model was used to predict the sheet behaviour and the parameters in this model were calibrated based on experimental test results available for DP590 at various strain rates. The Johnson–Cook phenomenological damage model was also used to predict the ductile failure (damage accumulation) in both EHDF and EHFF. Predicted final strain values and damage accumulation type showed good agreement with the experimental observations.

Development of a biaxial loading frame for sheet metal

Characterization of the evolving yield loci and forming limit diagrams for sheet materials under biaxial loading is necessary for the development of accurate sheet metal forming process simulations. Biaxial tension testing has been shown to have significant advantages over the current computational and experimental methods for such material characterization; however, the few commercially available loading frames are far too large and expensive to be practical for most metal forming research laboratories. In this paper, the design of a practical servohydraulic biaxial loading frame is presented. The design, control, and operation of the loading frame are discussed in detail, and experimental data is provided to validate the effectiveness of the control system with respect to specimen center shifting.

Effect of quasi-static prestrain on the formability of dual phase steels in electrohydraulic forming

Dual phase steels derive their name from their microstructure, which consists of islands of martensite surrounded by a ferrite matrix. These steels are increasingly being used in automobile structures in order to reduce weight, improve fuel economy, and maintain crash safety performance. The higher strength grades of dual phase steels, such as DP780 and DP980, often present significant formability challenges in sheet stamping operations, and therefore any technologies which could alleviate these issues would be of significant value to the automotive industry. Electrohydraulic forming (EHF) is based upon the electro-hydraulic effect: a complex phenomenon related to the discharge of high voltage electrical current through a liquid. In EHF, electrical energy is stored in a bank of capacitors and is converted into the kinetic energy needed to form sheet metal by rapidly discharging that energy across a pair of electrodes submerged in a fluid. During such a discharge, a high pressure, high temperature plasma channel is created between the tips of the electrodes. The resulting shockwave in the liquid, initiated by the expansion of the plasma channel, is propagated toward the blank at the acoustic velocity of the fluid, and the mass and momentum of the water in the shock wave accelerates the sheet metal blank toward the die. The objective of this paper is to report the results of formability testing of dual phase steels under three basic conditions: (1) conventional limiting dome height (LDH) testing; (2) starting with a flat blank and using one pulse of EHF to fill the desired die geometry; and (3) starting with a quasi-static preforming step to partially fill the die cavity and then using one pulse of EHF to fill the remaining area of the die cavity. A hybrid process which combines sheet hydroforming (HF) and EHF as described herein has the potential to reduce the cycle time of the EHF process by replacing the initial EHF forming increments with one quasi-static preforming step. Additionally, a numerical model was developed and employed in order to better understand the sheet deformation process within EHF. The numerical model consists of four distinct models that are integrated into one: (1) an electrical model of the discharge channel, (2) a model of the plasma, (3) a model of the liquid as a pressure-transmitting medium, and (4) a deformable sheet metal blank in contact with a rigid die. Significant improvements in formability were confirmed experimentally for DP780 and DP980 by forming into conical and v-shape dies using EHF from a flat sheet and by using EHF combined with a quasi-static preforming step. Numerical modeling showed that the peak strain rates occurring in both single-pulse EHF the hybrid HF-EHF process are approximately 17,000 units per second.     

A Study of the Optimization of Sheet Metal Drawing with Active Drawbeads

An experimental study is described in which active drawbead technology is used to attempt to optimize the sheet metal forming process. Oval AA 6111-T4 panels were drawn in a series of tests using various drawbead trajectories to establish the feasibility of the approach. The selection of drawbead trajectory was shown to have a dramatic effect on maximum attainable draw depth at fracture. Increasing drawbead penetration from zero to 5 mm in the early stages of the drawing process and retracting midway through the draw resulted in a 40% increase in draw depth compared to using a fixed 5 mm penetration. In the second part of the investigation, active drawbead technology was used to study its effect on highly nonsymmetric panel forming. Drawing limit curves in terms of drawbead depth versus blankholder forces (BHF) were plotted, and different drawbead trajectories were tested to determine an optimal drawbead trajectory scheme. A corresponding finite element model was also created. The results of strain path analysis successfully support the experiments.
