In the manufacturing of a LCD TV bottom chassis, the distortion after forming should be suppressed below pre-defined amount to avoid contact with electric components. Finite element analysis procedure of forming and springback of a LCD TV bottom chassis is developed to investigate the distortion behaviour. It is shown that after the first forming large distortion occur due to uneven metal flow induced by various embossings. In the second forming, distortion is decreased by introducing bead that absorbs the excessive metal flow. It is proved that analysis method could describe these behaviour effectively. The developed analysis method can be used to find the proper location and shape of bead more quickly and effectively.
