A rigid-viscoplastic finite element method has been used for modeling superplastic stretch/blow process design to improve thickness distribution. Punch velocity-time relationship of the stretch forming and pressure-time cycle of the blow forming for a given strain rate are calculated. A superplastic material is assumed to be isotropic and a plane-strain line element based on membrane approximation is employed for the formulation. The effects of the width, corner radius and height of the punch during stretch forming are examined for the final thickness distribution, and the process design to improve thickness distribution can be established.

The new FLD of the laser welded blank, which includes FLCs of welded zone and base metals, is introduced. For the forming limits of welded zone, the hemispherical dome punch tests were performed with various widths of asymmetric specimen. The FLC0 as well as the dome height at fracture associated with various specimen widths in the same and different thickness combinations were found to see the formability depending on thickness combinations. In order to show the application of the new FLD, the measured strains of squared cup drawing and simulated strains of door inner panel stamping were compared with those of FLCs. The successful prediction of fracture in the applications reveals that the forming limits of welded zone and base metals should be separately found for more accurate evaluation of the formability and workability of the laser welded blank.

Electrohydraulic forming(EHF), one of the high-speed forming method, can supplement the weak point of previous forming process such as deep-drawing and electromagnetic forming. Indeed, EHF is time-consuming process during installing wire before experiment that hard to apply to industry. In this research, applying wireless electrode, the formability of SUS430 sheet was compared through EHF experiments using wire-installed electrode and the other, wireless. Although the power was a little lacking, the advantages of the experiment using wireless electrode could be confirmed with checking the optimal location of electrodes where the plasma is generated and comparing free-bulging height depending on former and later condition of electrodes with performing several single and multistage experiments for same voltage, 6 kV.

A shape error of the sheet metal product made by a flexible stretch forming process is occurred by a various forming parameters. A die used in the flexible stretch forming is composed of a punch array to obtain the various objective surfaces using only one die. But gaps between the punches induce the shape error and the defect such as a scratch. Forming parameters of the punch size and the elastic pad to prevent the surface defect must be considered in the flexible die design process. In this study, tendency analysis of shape error according to the forming parameters in the flexible stretch process is conducted using a finite element method. Three forming parameters, which are the punch size, the objective curvature radius and the elastic pad thickness, are considered. Finite element modeling using the punch height calculation algorithm and the evaluation method of the shape error, which is a representative value for the formability of formed surface, are proposed. Consequently, the shape error is in proportion to the punch size and is out of proportion to the objective curvature radius and the elastic pad thickness.

People's interest in the environmental problems of the Earth is growing as they come to the modern world, and research is being actively conducted on how to protect the environment. As a result, the automobile industry, one of the causes of environmental pollution, is also affected. Therefore, research is being conducted to improve the fuel economy and light weight of cars, development of pollution-free cars such as electric cars, and aluminium materials that are lighter than ordinary steel sheets and easier to recycle are gaining attention. In this experiment, the material was formed to form a form of aluminium and the material reduction rate of the side wall of the foam was tested according to the amount of side wall. The material used in the experiment was A3003-O, which is less plastic than normal steel plates, but has excellent corrosion resistance, plasticity and weldability compared to aluminium materials, but has poor tensile strength. For tensile testing, a certain array of Forming Shapes was molded and the height of the Forming was set to 5mm, and the height of the Forming was 4.7mm, indicating that the difference between the first 5mm Forming and the height was not large. In addition, the material reduction rate was tested by giving 15, 0, and -0.15 teas, respectively, and was found to be valuable as a product only for -0.15.

본 연구에서는 소방 건축분야에 가장 많이 사용되는 배관인 배관용 탄소강관 및 이에 상응하는 스테인리스 강관을 분기배관으로 제작이 가능한지 여부를 상용유한요소프로그램(ABAQUS)을 이용하여 확인하였다. 이러한 배관을 분기배관으로 성형할 경우 심이 없는 배관 사용을 원칙으로 하고 배관에 심이 있는 경우 심과 정반대방향을 성형면으로 하여야 한다. 배관의 성형시 플러그의 경사면과 길이가 성형에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요소임을 알 수 있었다. 분기배관의 성형해석결과를 토대로 분기부분의 최소 높이와 두께를 제안했다.

Forming pressure of the rupture disc has been analyzed theoretically and verified by experiments. Final shape of the rupture disc after forming process is assumed to be hemi-ellipsoid for small height of the rupture disc. The predicted forming pressures are in good agreement with those by experiment. A new simple model has been proposed to predict the burst pressure of the rupture disc. Experimental results show that the proposed model of burst pressure describes the bursting characteristics of the rupture disc very well.

In order to analyze the stretch forming characteristics of tailored blanks, laser welded blanks of different thickness and strength combinations were prepared and stretching tests were done. The stretching formability of laser welded blanks was reduced as increasing the deformation restraining force ($strength{\times}thickness$) ratio between two welded sheets. Weld line movement was attributed to strain concentration at weaker sheets and resulted in fracture at weaker sid, so that fracture could be predicted by the forming limit of the weak sheet. In the case of a welded blank with the similar deformation restraining force rations between two welded sheets, crack occurred at weld and its forming limit was about 15% less than the base sheet. The effects of lubrication and weld line position on stretch-ing formability were also investigated by experiments. Lower friction did not always give better formability for tailored blanks. Stretching formability was observed to be improved as increasing the area of weak sheet.

This study is aimed to find out the optimal forming conditions by comparing and analyzing material flow, deformation pattern, and a forming load through rigid-plastic FEM for a flange using pipe. Flanges are widely used for various purposes as connectors of industrial steel pipes which are manufactured by drawing process. The forming feature of flange was reviewed through both heading process and radial extrusion process in a cold working condition. As a result of simulation, the shape of flange can not be made by heading process, but made by radial extrusion process. The effects of design factors, such as gap-height, die-comer radius, and frictional factors on maximum forming load and deformation pattern are investigated for radial extrusion process.

A method of three-dimensional curved surface generation was studied for multi-point dieless forming (MPDF) in the shipbuilding industry. Three-dimensional coordinates of punch elements were obtained from objective surfaces using a proprietary CAD program. MPDF surfaces were generated by adjusting the height of punch elements in accordance with the coordinates. Some problems, such as collision of punch elements and contact between plates and punch bodies, were anticipated from the analysis of the results. A twisted surface was formed successfully by MPDF in a laboratory scale, which suggests possibility of application of the technology to the shipbuilding industry.
