The analysis of the springback is done based on the stress of sheet after forming. Therfore, it is important to get the accurate stress from forming analysis. In this study, some parameters that influence on the accuracy of the springback estimation are investigated. Discretization of sheet and tools, choice of penalty constant and damping in contact treatment, and tool speed scaling are chosen as parameters. As a numerical example, the 2D draw bending benchmark problem of the NUMISHEET'93 is used. Also, the springback results of the s-rail benchmark problem of the NUMISHEET'96 are presented.

The time-dependent constitutive law was utilized based on viscoelastic-plasticity to predict the time-dependent spring-back behavior of aluminum alloy 6022-T4 sheets. Besides nonlinear viscoelasticity, non-quadratic anisotropic yield function, Yld2000-2d, was used to account for the anisotropic yield behavior, while the combined isotropic-kinematic hardening law was used to represent the Bauschinger effect and transient hardening. For verification purposes, finite element simulations were performed for the draw-bending and the results were compared with experimental results.

Sectional analysis program for plane strain or axisymmetric geometry of aluminum alloy sheet metals was developed. For modeling the anomalous behavior of aluminum alloy, Barlat's strain rate potential and Hill's 1990 non-quadratic yield theory arranged under the plane stress assumption were employed. 2-D rigid-viscoplastic FEM formulation based on the bending-augmented membrane theory was derived, solving simultaneously force equilibrium as well as non-penetration condition. Isotropic hardening law was also assumed for yielding behavior. To verify the validity and availability of the developed program, 2-D stretch/draw forming process for plane strain geometry and cylindrical cup deep drawing process for axisymmetric geometry were simulated.

Recently, finite element method has been used as an effective tool in the design process of sheet metal forming. In the present study, an implicit method and an explicit method have been developed for 2D analysis and 3D analysis, respectively, and applied to several processes including plane strain draw bending and TWB sqaure cup drawing. Also, commercial codes are used for geometrically complex problems, such as tube hydroforming, "L" cup deep drawing and side frame forming. In this paper, basic formulations used in the methods are introduced and results obtained from the applications are discussed.discussed.

Spring-back of MS1470 steel sheets was numerically predicted using a non-linear kinematic hardening material behavior based on the Yoshida-Uemori model. From uniaxial tension and uniaxial tension-compression-tension data as well as the uniaxial tension-unloading-tension data, the parameters of the Yoshida-Uemori model were obtained. For the numerical simulations, the Yoshida-Uemori model was implemented into the commercial finite element program, ABAQUS/Explicit and ABAQUS/Standard using the user-defined material subroutines. The model performance was validated against the measured spring-back from the benchmark problems of NUMISHEET 2008 and NUMISHEET 2011, the 2-D draw bending test and the S-rail forming test, respectively.

Most ships and offshore structures are equipped with a variety of pipes, which inevitably contain curved portions. The structural design of these pipes mostly relies on the commercial code, CAESAR-II, which was especially developed for the structural analysis of pipes. This study conducted stress analyses of the same pipe unit, including loops, using both CAESAR-II and MSC/NASTRAN, and compared the results to investigate the characteristics of CAESAR-II. A parametric study was then conducted of the various design variables of pipe loops using CAESAR-II to draw some useful information about the structural characteristics of the loops.
