The explicit scheme for finite element analysis of sheet metal forming problems has been widely used for providing practical solutions since it improves the convergency problem, memory size and computational time especially for the case of complicated geometry and large element number. The explicit schemes in general use are based on the elastic-plastic modeling of material requiring large computataion time. In the present work, a basic formulation for rigid-plastic explicit finite element analysis of plain strain sheet metal forming problems has been proposed. The effect of some basic parameters involved in the dynamic analysis has been studied in detail. Thus, the effective ranges of parameters have been proposed for numerical simultion by the rigid-plastic explicit finite element method. A direct trial-and-error method is introduced to treat contact and friction. In computation, sheet material is assumed to possess normal anisotropy and rigid-plastic workhardening characteristics. In order to show the validity and effectiveness of the proposed explicit scheme, computations are carried out for cylindrical punch stretching and the computational results are compared with those by the implicit scheme as well as with a commercial code. The proposed rigid-plastic exlicit finite element method can be used as a robust and efficient computational method for analysis of sheet metal forming.

Because of its rustproof property, stainless steel is widely used in kitchen appliances, building materials, electronics, chemical plants and automobile exhausts. In addition, the utilization of stainless steel for fuel cell application is growing. As the demand for this material increases, it is necessary to study the basic properties of stainless steel such as corrosion resistance, heat transfer, formability, cutting or shearing ability and weldability. In this article, the mechanical properties, formability and press forming performance of stainless steel are reviewed. Since temperature and strain rate affect the press forming performance of STS304(austenitic) stainless steel, the influence of these parameters on the plastic behavior should be investigated. Moreover, measures for the prevention of ridging of STS430(ferritic) and delayed fracture of STS430, which respectively appear during and after press forming, should be considered. Recently, stainless steel sheets with a thickness lower than 0.2 mm have been widely used in applications for mobile phone, digital camera and fuel cell separator. Therefore, there is a growing interest of studying the grain size effect and plasticity at the crystal scale in order to understand the anisotropic behavior and micro forming ability of thin sheets. This review paper was written with the objective of helping engineers and researchers to understand the forming characteristics of stainless steel and to establish standards in plastic forming techniques.

Herein, we present the design and development of an efficient finite element analysis model for thermal plate forming in shipbuilding. Double curvature shells in the ship building industries are primarily formed through the thermal forming technique. Thermal forming involves heating of steel plates using heat sources like oxy-acetylene gas torch, laser, and induction heating, etc. The differential expansion and contraction across the plate thickness cause plastic deformation and bending of plates. Thermal forming is a complex forming technique as the plastic deformation and bending depends on many factors such as peak temperature, heating and cooling rate, depth of heated zone and many other secondary factors. In this work, we develop an efficient finite element analysis model for the thermo-mechanical analysis of thermal forming. Different simulations are reported to study the effect of various parameters affecting the process. Temperature dependent properties are used in the analysis and the finite element analysis model is used to identify the critical flame velocity to avoid recrystallization of plate material. A spring connected plate is modeled for structural analysis using spring elements and that helps in identifying the resultant shapes of various thermal forming patterns. Finally, detailed simulation results are reported to establish the efficacy, applicability and efficiency of the designed and developed finite element analysis model.

현재 각종 미사일의 추진기관용 연소관을 제작하는데 이용되고 있는 유동성형공정에 대하여 강소성 구성방정식을 이용 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 종전의 단일 롤러에 의한 해석과는 달리 3개의 롤러에 의한 연소관의 점진 소성변형을 고려하였으며, 이에 따른 각 롤러의 연소관에 대한 소성변형, 응력분포가 관찰, 분석되었다. 해석 결과 예비성형체의 두께에 따라 소성변형 형태와 그에 따르는 응력분포에 많은 차이가 나는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또 이상적인 유동성형조건 하에서 반경 방향으로의 연소관의 유효 소성변형도는 거의 균일하게 나타났다.

This study is concerned with the analysis of the forming characteristics of radial-forward extrusion. Angle between radial and forward extrusion, gap height, and friction factor are considered as important design factors to affect forming characteristics in radial-forward extrusion. The rigid-plastic finite element method is adopted to analyze the effects of design factors on forming loads. The incremental rates of loads are nearly constant except the deformation zone from radial to forward extrusion. The smaller angle induces lesser force increment, therefore forming load increases as the angle increases. Maximum load also increases as gap-height decreases and friction factor increases.

A new finite elemetn approach is introduced for direct prediction of bland shapes and strain distributions from desired final shapes in sheet metal forming. The approach deals with the geometric compatibility of finite elements, plastic deformation theory, minimization of plastic work with constraints, and a proper initial guess. The algorithm developed is applied to cylindrical cup drawing, square cup drawing, and fron fender forming to confirm its validity by demonstratin reasonable accurate numerical results of each problems. Rapid calculation with this algorithm enables easy determination of various process variables for design of sheet metal forming process.

In this paper, a useful rigid-plastic finite element method with various numerical schemes is presented for simulation of an orbital forming process. A new approach to reduce volume change during simulation is presented and an approximation method to reduce computational time is also presented. An actual orbital forming process found in a bearing making industry is simulated by the presented approach. The simulated results of the orbital forming process are compared with the experimental results.
