Study on the Measurement of Restraining and Opening Forces in Drawbeads

드로우비드 상압력과 인출력 측정에 관한 연구

The drawbeads, which is used for controlling the flow of the sheet by imposing the tension and for preventing the springback in the sheet metal forming process, affects a lot the formability because of the differences in the restraint and opening forces according to the drawbead shapes and dimensions. In this study, the experimental device enabling to measure the drawbead restraining forces and the drawbead opening forces associated with various drawbead shapes and dimensions and their theoretical evaluation are introduced and verified through the experimental measurement of those of a circular drawbead.
