When a large automobile sheet metal part is formed in a draw die, the binder wrap is first calculated to predict the initial punch contact location for avoiding wrinkles and severe stretching of its thin blank sheet. Since the boundary of a pseudo blank in calculating a binder wrap by means of a geometrically nonlinear finite element method is unknown in advance, an iteration method is generally used. This paper presents an effective iteration method for correction of the pseudo blank in a binder wrap calculation. For the performance test, two examples are adopted. The calculated results for both examples show the good convergence which wasted solutions are obtained in the second iteration step.

This study deals with the nonlinear strength analysis of laminated composite cylindrical shells to find the optimum structure of pressure vessel. By applying the F.E.M. using the 8-node degenerated Isoparametric shell element and Total Lagrangian formulation and being adopted Newton-Raphson method with incremental load as a solution scheme. the optimum structure is found from the viewpoint of minimum displacement. As a results of linear analysis on the 9 cases of laminated structure, $[50^{\circ}/-50^{\circ}]$ composition of the shell laminate give the minimum deflection. In case of the nonlinear analysis by applying Quadratic Failure Criteria on laminated combination $[{\theta}^{\circ}/-{\theta}^{\circ}]$, shell laminate structure of ${\theta}=50^{\circ}$ under external uniform pressure was founded as a optimum structure and ${\theta}=50^{\circ}$ for the case of external and axial loading combined.
