In this paper the stress and strain behaivor in near homogeneous isotropic matrix of metal like steel was studied roll forming of thin steel sheet for cylindrical pipe. Analytical results reveals a body which is on the area of square thickness along and perpendicular to the width of thin steel sheet is in the state of plane strain during roll forming. As a result construction of analytical method for calculating deformation load and stably deformed length along the width of strained steel sheet was established. Also loads applied during roll forming were analyzed using two typical thin steel sheet 12.3m thick steel sheet with 42.5kg /mm2 yield strength of pipe and 5.3mm thick steel sheet with 32.5kg/mm2 yield strength of pipe. Through this analysis applicability of the analytical method for deformation load during roll forming of cylindrical thin steel pipe was evaluated with a study of necessary production technology for roll forming and design technology for roll forming machine.

The characteristic of magnesium alloy is the most light in utility metal, the effect of electromagnetic wave interception, excellent specific strength and absorptiveness of vibration. Although magnesium alloy with above characteristic is a subject matter which is suitable in world-wide tendency of electrical component frame, sheet magnesium alloy is difficult to process. Therefore, forming analysis of sheet magnesium alloy and applying warm-working to process are indispensable. Among Finite element method, the static implicit finite element method is applied effectively to analyze sheet magnesium alloy stamping process, which include the forming stage. In this study, it was focused on the crack, wrinkling and spring back on sheet magnesium alloy stamping by the static implicit analysis. According to this study, the result of simulation will give engineers good information to access the forming technique on sheet magnesium alloy. And its application is being increased especially in the production of electrical component frame for the cost reduction, saving of defective ratio, and improvement of Productivity.

The shell part is made of 2-layered blank because of functional requirements. To investigate the draw formability in this kind of part, the 2-layered sheet metal forming analysis process should be stipulated. First of all, treatment of contact with each blank must be considered to prevent the penetration on the each blank. Subsequently, applying the draw bead force is considered carefully because application of drawbead force for analysis is different with equivalent drawbead force. Formability as like crack, neck and wrinkles is estimated by FLD(Forming Limit Diagram) and thinning. A feasibility of the 2-layered sheet metal forming analysis process study is verified compare 2-layered sheet metal forming analysis with experimental results.

Hydroforming process has become an effective manufacturing process because it can be adaptable to forming of complex structural components. Tube hydroforming has been successfully developed in the real industrial field by many researchers. However, there still remains the constraint about shape which can be manufactured by tube hydroforming. In order to improve this constraint of shape and formability of conventional sheet metal forming, hydroforming process of sheet metal pairs becomes an important technology. In the present work, the finite element analysis of hydroforming process of sheet metal pairs is presented. After basic study about experimental parameters based on numerical analysis, hydroforming process of sheet metal pairs is developed which uses hydraulic pressure as a main forming source.

In order to measure the friction coefficient used in sheet metal forming analysis, a friction tester was manufactured and friction tests were performed in various forming conditions. Based on the friction coefficients measured, a mathematical friction model was constructed in terms of lubricant viscosity, blank holding force, punch velocity and sheet roughness. In addition, the effect of the number of forming parameters in the calculation of friction coefficient on the accuracy of sheet metal forming analysis was investigated by comparing the punch loads obtained from the FEM simulation, in which the friction coefficients were determined by a few parameters with the experimental measurement.

The analysis of the springback is done based on the stress of sheet after forming. Therfore, it is important to get the accurate stress from forming analysis. In this study, some parameters that influence on the accuracy of the springback estimation are investigated. Discretization of sheet and tools, choice of penalty constant and damping in contact treatment, and tool speed scaling are chosen as parameters. As a numerical example, the 2D draw bending benchmark problem of the NUMISHEET'93 is used. Also, the springback results of the s-rail benchmark problem of the NUMISHEET'96 are presented.

The technology of incremental forming has drawn attention for small-batch production of sheet metal components. In the present investigation a forming tool containing a freely-rotating ball was developed and applied to forming experiments. Deformation characteristics including crack occurred during forming with this tool was examined for full annealed Al1050 sheet. The finite element analysis was successfully applied to this special type of forming process, and provided results that agree well with the measurements.

The current study performed formability analysis of a heat exchanger separator for an electric vehicle to apply a high-strength aluminum sheet based on parametric analysis. Mechanical properties for sheet metal forming simulation were evaluated by tensile test, bulge test, and Nakajima test. Two-stage crash forming was established by considering the mass production process using conventional low-strength aluminum sheets. In this study, FEM for the two-stage forming process was conducted to optimize the corner radius and height for improving the formability. In addition, the possibility of a one-stage forming process application was confirmed through FEM. The prototype of the sample was manufactured as FEM results to validate the parametric analysis. Finally, this result can provide a one-stage forming process design method using the high-strength aluminum sheet for weight reduction of a heat exchanger separator for an electric vehicle.

In order to see the effect of die deformation on the forming analysis of sheet metals, the draw-ins, strains, and spring-backs of an automotive fender panels are numerically simulated by considering the die deformation found by the simultaneous structural analysis of press and dies. By coupling the forming analysis and the structural analysis, the die deformation is simultaneously taken into account in the forming process. Furthermore, for the consideration of load difference transferred among the upper die, punch, and blank holder due to the changes in sheet thickness, the gap elements are employed instead of the blank sheet in the structural analysis. The numerical simulation results of an automotive finder draw panel are compared with the measurements. The comparison of the forming and spring-back analysis results between the rigid die and the deformed die shows that the consideration of tool deformation can predict more accurately the forming and spring-back of sheet metals.
