Generally, the forming process of sheet metal is very complex and difficult process because of many variables such as tool geometry, material properties and lubrication. In this view point, the numerical analysis of sheet metal forming process is very difficult. High speed computer is used to model complex sheet metal forming process on a reasonable time scale. The design and development of sheet metal parts in the automotive industry and the need for improved sheet forming process and reduced part development cost have led to the use of computer simulation in tool/die design of sheet metal pressing. HMC(Hyundai Mator Company) has invested to develop programs for analysis of sheet metal forming process with connection of Universities. As a result, several programs were developed. Recently, the commercial software, PAM-STAMP of ESI was installed and is being tried to application of it to the real automotive panels. This article reviews the ongoing activities on development and application of analytical modeling of sheet metal forming at HMC.

현재 자본재산업의 기술낙후는 상품의 수출경쟁력 약화의 근원적인 원인이 되어 결국 지속적으로 선진국의 기술종속을 심화시키고 있다. 이러한 자본재 산업의 문제는 현재의 주력 수출상품의 핵심요소부품생산기술의 미비가 큰 원인이며(거의 주요핵심부품 도는 관련기술은 거의 대부분 수입에 의존하고 있음), 같은 논리로 차세대 신기술의 개발을 통한 첨단 상품의 개발도 이에 필요한 핵심요소부품의 생산기술이 뒤를 바쳐 주지 못한다면 결국 10년 후에도 현재와 같은 현상이 되풀이될 것은 분명하다.(중략)

The hardening and the constitutive equation based on the crystal plasticity are introduced for the numerical simulation of hemispherical sheet metal forming. For calculating the deformation and the stress of the crystal, Taylor's model of the crystalline aggregate is employed. The hardening is evaluated by using the Taylor factor, the critical resolved shear stress of the slip system, and the sum of the crystallographic shears. During the hemispherical forming process, the texture of the sheet metal is evolved by the plastic deformation of the crystal. By observing the texture evolution of the BCC sheet, the texture evolution of the sheet is traced during the forming process. Deformation texture of the BCC sheet is represented by using the pole figure. The comparison of the strain distribution and punch force in the hemispherical forming process between crystal plasticity and experiment shows the verification of the crystal-based formulation and the accuracy of the hardening and constitutive equation obtained from the crystal plasticity.

The stamping process is widely used in fabricating various sheet-parts for vehicle, airplane, and electronic devices due to its low processing cost and high productivity. Recently the use of thin sheets with corrugated structures has rapidly increased for the production of energy devices, e.g., heat exchangers and fuel cells. However, it is very difficult to make corrugated structures directly in the stamping process due to their geometrical complexity. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a multi-step stamping process with a combined heat treatment process: a sequence of the first stamping, heat treatment, and second stamping. By multi-stamping, we obtained successful results in fabricating very thin corrugated structures with thicknesses of $100{\mu}m$; these are applicable as part of a plate-type heat exchanger.

A method of obtaining deformation severity of axisymmetric shape deep-drawn products was developed. Strain states of products produced by single or multi-stage drawing were predicted by using finite element analysis. This method used minimization of potential energy between the known shape of final product and the unknown in initial blank. And that was done numerically by nonlinear finite element method. Deformation theory of plasticity was used for practical purposes. From predicted strain states of drawn parts, deformation severity was found by using forming limit diagrams.

Electromagnetic forming (EMF) technology, which is one of the high speed forming methods, has been used for the forming process in various industry fields. Numerical approach by finite element simulation of the EMF process is presented in this study. The implicit code is used to obtain the numerical model of the time-varying currents that are discharged through the coil in order to obtain the transient magnetic forces. In addition, the body forces generated in the workpiece are used as the loading condition to analyze deformation of thin sheet metal workpiece using explicit code. Numerical approach for a dimpled shape by EMF process is carried out and the simulated results of the dimpled shape by EMF are reviewed in view of the deformed shape and formability evaluation.

최근 자동차용 강판을 대체하기 위한 재료로서 알루미늄 합금에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 알루미늄 합금은 철강 재료에 비해 비강도가 높으며 재활용이 용이하고 내식성이 뛰어난 활용 가치가 높은 소재이다. 하지만 기존의 강판을 알루미늄 합금으로 대체하기 위해서는 높은 경제성, 강도 및 성형성이 요구되고 있는 현실이다. 따라서 고강도 알루미늄 합금 판재를 경제적으로 제조하기 위한 제조 공정기술 및 후가공 기술의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 쌍롤 박판주조법에 비대칭 노즐을 이용하여 높은 주조 속도를 유지하면서도 중심 편석 및 열간 균열을 완화시켜 첨가되는 용질 원소의 양을 증가시켰다. 제조한 다양한 조성을 가진 알루미늄 합금 판재의 후속 압연성, 기계적 특성 및 성형성을 평가하기 위하여 미세조직 및 집합조직을 분석하였으며 이에 따른 실용화 가능성을 평가하였다.

A new approach has been proposed for the incremental analysis of the nonsteady state large deformation of planar anisotropic elastic-plastic sheet forming. A mathematical brief review of a constitutive law for the incremental deformation theory has been presented from flow theory using the minimum plastic work path for elastic-plastic material. Since the material embedded coordinate system(Lagrangian quantity) is used in the proposed theory the stress integration procedure is completely objective. A new return mapping algorithm has been also developed from the general midpoint rule so as to achieve numerically large strain increment by successive control of yield function residuals. Some numerical tests for the return mapping algorithm were performed using Barlat's six component anisotropic stress potential. Performance of the proposed algorithm was shown to be good and stable for a large strain increment, For planar anisotropic sheet forming updating algorithm of planar anisotropic axes has been newly proposed. In order to show the effectiveness and validity of the present formulation earing simulation for a cylindrical cup drawing and front fender stamping analysis are performed. From the results it has been shown that the present formulation can provide a good basis for analysis for analysis of elastic-plastic sheet metal forming processes.

Fractures and wrinkles are two major defects frequently found in the sheet metal forming process. The process has several noise factors that cannot be ignored when determining the optimal process conditions. Therefore, without any countermeasures against noise, attempts to reduce defects through optimal design methods have often led to failure. In this study, a new and robust design methodology that can reduce the possibility of formation of fractures and wrinkles is presented using decision-making theory. A two-attribute value function is presented to form the design metric for the sheet metal forming process. A modified complex method is adopted to isolate the optimal robust design variables. One of the major limitations of the traditional robust design methodology, which is based on an orthogonal array experiment, is that the values of the optimal design variables have to coincide with one of the experimental levels. As this restriction is eliminated in the complex method, a better solution can be expected. The procedure of the proposed method is illustrated through a robust design of the sheet metal forming process of a side member of an automobile body.

The equivalent boundary conditions have been applied to the front door panel forming process, in order to demonstrate its reliability and validity. The elongation in the bead forming process is applied to the binder wrap process as the equivalent displacement boundary condition and the restraining force in the drawing process is applied to stamping process as the equivalent force boundary condition. The result calculated with the equivalent boundary conditions shows closer coincidence with the experimental result than simulation with different boundary conditions. The numerical result fully demonstrates that drawbead forming simulation for calculation of equivalent boundary conditions is necessary and effective.
