In order to evaluate strength of spot welded joint, at first it is importent that we should know strain distribution near nugget zone. During loading, in HAZ, compressive strain increase with Increase of load, but in nugget zone tensile strain increase. During unloading, on the other hand, even through the decreases, the strain variation is not almost appeared in nugget zone and HAZ. In nugget boundary zone, the strain range increases continuously along with load increase on outer surface, but the strain increases continunously and decreases rapidly beyond yield strength on inner surface. In this paper, strain distribution are measured in inner and outer surface with variation of thickness and load under tensile-shear load. Tensile-shear strength increased as with increase of specimen thickness. As for thickness increase rates are 25%, 50%, 100%, and 150%, tensile-shear strength in crease rates are 40%, 81%, 130% and 228%.

For minimizing wall thickness thinning of circular shells, a new stamping technology, the deep draw-ing process combined with ironing is approached and investigated. The design requirements for the deep drawing shells are to keep the optimum wall thickness with max. 10 percent thickness thinning of the initial blank thickness, to make uniform thickness strain distribution for the wall of circular shell and to improve the shape accuracy for the roundness and concentricity. In order to check the validity and effectiveness of proposed work, a sample process design is applied to a circular shell needed for a 4multi-stepped deep drawing. Through experiments, the variations of the thickness strain distribution in each drawing process are observed. Also a series of experiments are performed to investigate optimum process variables such as the geometry of tooling, radius and drawing rate. In particular, the advantage of current approach with ironing is shown in contrast to the conventional deep drawing process. From the results of proposed method, the optimum value of process variables are obtained, which contribute more uniform thickness strain distribution and better quality in the drawn product.

The microstructure with fine and uniform AGS(austenite grain size) along thickness direction over no recrystallization temperature is strongly required for production of the high strength steels. The previous AGS prediction only based on the average strain improves to find the rolling conditions for accomplishment of the fine grain, but cannot find those for uniform grain. In this paper, an integrated mathematical model for prediction of the strain distribution along thickness direction is developed by carrying out finite element simulation for a series of rolling conditions. Also, the AGS distribution after rough rolling is predicted by applying the proposed model with AGS prediction model.

A method of determining an optimum blank shape for the non circular deep drawing process is more investigated and applied to the balnk design for multi-stage deep drawn product. The forming procedure of two-stage deep drawing process is looked over and the method of determining a blank shape is proposed. In experimental research, a optimum blank and a optional rectangular blank were considered and we measured thickness strain distributions. We could predict a strain distribution and compare with a experimental strain distribution. Also, the strain distributions for the blank shapes, optimum and rectangular, were compared.

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 warm deep drawability in square cup drawing is investigated about a newly developed high-strength steel sheet with retained austenite which is transformed into martensite during forming. For this investigation, six steps of temperature ranges, from room temperature to $250^{\circ}C$, and five kinds of drawing ratio, from 2.2 to 2.6 were adopted. As a result the maximum drawing force and the maximum drawing depth were affected by the elevated temperatures, and the more stable thickness strain distribution was observed to the elevated temperatures. But blue shortness happened over $200^{\circ}C$. The FEM analysis using the LS-DYNA code is adopted to compare the experimental results with the analytical results for thickness strain distribution.

This paper examined strain distribution and radius of curvature of the bulge by finite element method and investigated limit polar thickness strain to predict the formability of sheet metal as we substituted effective strain and the radius of curvature obtained by FEM into instability condition equation successively. In experiment, the radius of curvature and limit polar thickness strainwere obtained by Moire method. Also, a concent- ric set of photogrid circles was used to measure the strain of arbitrary point and mild steel was used as material. This results obtained are as follows: 1) The radius of curvature obtained by FEM is in good agreement with the Moire experimental value. 2) The polar thickness strain is getting larger as the inside is approached from the edge. This means that fracture occurred near the ploe. 3) The circumferential strains agree closely with the meridian strains and the polar thickness strain is about twice the circumferential (or meridian) strain. This result agrees with the fact that anisotropy coefficient (R-value) obtained by tensile test is about one. 4) The theoretical results of limit polar thickness strain obtained by authors' method are better agreement with experimental results than other theoretical results. Therefore, we can better predict the formability of sheet metal with authors' method.

Vacuum-assisted thermoforming is one of the critical steps for successful application of film insert molding (FIM) to make parts of complex shape. If the thickness distribution of the formed film is non-uniform, then cracking, deformation, warpage, and wrinkling can easily occur at the injection molding stage. In this study, the simulation of thermoforming was performed to predict the film thickness distribution, and the results were compared with experiments. Uniaxial tensile tests with a constant crosshead speed for various high temperatures were conducted to investigate the stress-strain behavior. An instance of yielding occurred at the film temperature of $90^{\circ}C$, and the film stiffness increased with increasing crosshead speed. Two types of viscoelastic models, G'Sell model, K-BKZ model, were used to describe the measured stress-strain relationship. The predicted film thickness distributions were in good agreement with the experimental results.

Both cylindrical cup drawing and square cup drawing are analyzed using membrane analysis as well as shell analysis by the elastic-plastic finite element method. An incremental formulation incorporating the effect of large deformation and normal anisotropy is used for the analysis of elastic-plastic non-steady deformation. The computed results are compared with the existing experimental results to show the validity of the analysis. Comparisons are made in the punch load and distribution of thickness strain between the membrane analysis and the shell analysis for both cylindrical and square cup drawing processes. In punch load, both analyses show very little difference and also show generally good agreement with the experiment. For the cylindrical cup deep drawing, the computed thickness strain of a membrane analysis, however, shows a wide difference with the experiment. In the shell analysis, the thickness strain shows good agrement with the experiment. For the square cup deep drawing, both membrane and shell analyses show a wide difference with experiment, this may be attributable to the ignorance of the shear deformation. Concludingly, it has been shown that the membrane approach shows a limitation for the deep drawing process in which the effect of bending is not negligible and more exact information on the thickness strain distribution is required.
