A theoretical model of equivalent drawbead for sheet metal forming analysis is experimentally verified in this paper. After the theoretical drawbead models improved a material description for the accurate calculation of drawbead forces are briefly introduced, they are verified by showing the good agreement of their drawbead forces with experimental measurements. Furthermore, the excellence of theoretical models is demonstrated by the comparison with those of commercial codes.

The sheet formability can be improved by the optimum drawbeads installation because draw-beads can control the flow of the metal into the die cavity when the punch enters into the die opening, In this study the drawing characteristics for step drawbead are analyzed by 2-D rigid -plastic FEM and also are measured experimentally. In addition for the validity of FEM theoretical results are compared with the experimental results. Especially the draw bead restrain-ing forces and the strain distributions of drawn specimens are obtained in both FEM and experiment. Also the effects of the drawbead dimensions drawing angles and blank holding forces on the drawing characteristics are investigated.

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 and opening forces was manufactured and the drawing forces of circular, square, and step drawbeads are measured. The drawbead restraining and opening forces of a circular drawbead are increased as its drawbead height is increased. Similarly, those of a square drawbead are increased as its height is increased and shoulder radii decreased. Also, those of a step drawbead are increased as its height and difference in their heights are increased.

Theoretical and experimental drawing characteristics for the step drawbead are discussed. The drawbead restraining forces and strains by the varous drawing angles are measured experimentally. Also, during the blank holding process, the strain distributions of upper and lower skins of specimens are analysed by the 2-D rigid-plastic F.E.M And the drawbead restraining forces and strain distributions for the drawn specimens by the drawing length are obtained by experiment.
