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.

A drawbead die for the experimental determination of drawbead forces was newly introduced in this paper. While the conventional Nine's drawbead die inevitably includes effects of a blank holding force on the measured drawbead forces, the new drawbead die excludes it by removing the blank holder contact in the dieface. Therefore, the new drawbead die can provide more realistic drawbead forces without considering somewhat arbitrary effect of blank holder with the computational procedure of forming process. The drawbead opening force and restraining force obtained by adopting the two experimental dies were compared for the validation of accuracy in the FEM simulation of automotive fender forming process. The compared section strains and draw-ins confirmed that the present drawbead die provides better drawbead forces for an accurate FEM simulation of sheet metal forming process.

An equivalent drawbead model(EDM) for sheet metal forming analysis, which replaces complex drawbead geometries with drawbead forces in modeling the stamping dies with finite elements, is experimentally verified and applied to the numerical simulation of auto-panel stamping process. The drawbead restraining and opening forces of elliptical drawbead, circular drawbead, square drawbead, and step drawbead are obtained by performing the drawbead pulling test and compared with those of EDM and commercial code models(CCM). Better agreement with experimental measurements is found in EDM than CCM. Furthermore, the excellence of EDM is demonstrated in its application to the auto-body stamping analysis.

A new experimental model for determining drawbead forces, which modifies the dieface of Nine's experimental model, is introduced and the better validity of the drawbead opening and restraining forces of new model than those of Nine's is demonstrated. While Nine's model considers a blank holding force as one of forming variables, new model excludes it by removing blank holder in the dieface. The comparison of the strains found by FEM simulation of automotive fender draw forming process with those measured in a formed panel recommends the new model for accurate drawbead forces.

The drawbeads, which are used for controlling the flow of the sheet into die cavity by imposing the tension and for preventing the forming defects like wrinkling, springback, etc. during the sheet forming process, affect the formability strongly 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 is 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. The drawbead forces obtained from the experiment were compared with those calculated in the numerical simulation of stamping process of automotive fender. Good agreement was found so that the experimental measurements can be used in the simulation of auto-body stamping process.
