Sheet or plate bending is one of the most important industrial metal forming processes. And considerable attention has been focused on gaining a better understanding of many of bending characteristics. One of defaults in bending process is the springback. In this study, the springback characteristics of tailor-welded strips in U-bending process was investigated. Furthermore, not only the relationships between the springback and the process variables such as the geometry of the tools and thickness combination of workpiece but also the heat effect which affects the springback due to welding process was experimentally considered. First, tailor-welded strips are joined by the laser welding process and consisted of two types of thickness combinations of the SCPI sheet, 0.8t${\times}$1.2t and 0.8${\times}$1.6t to investigate the effect of different thickness combination on the springback. Secondly, two different directionally welded strips, one was welded along the centerline of the strip-width and the other was along the centerline of strip-length, were adopted to compare the effects of the location of weld line on the springback. And three punch profile radii of 3, 9, and 15 m were used. Some cases of the experimental results were simulated by using a commercial FEM code, PAM-STAMP to compare the experimental results to the analytical ones.

One of defaults in bending process is the springback. In this study, the springback characteristics of tailor-welded strips in U-bending process was investigated. Furthermore, effect of the process variables such as the geometry of the tools, thickness combination of workpiece, and welding prcoessing on springback were experimentally clarified. First, tailor-welded strips are joined by the laser welding process and consisted of two types of thickness combinations of the SCPl sheet, $0.8t{\times}1.2t$ and $0.8t{\times}1.6t$ to investigate the effect of different thickness combination on the springback. Secondly, two different directionly welded strips, one was welded along the centerline of the strip-width and the other was along the centerline of strip-length, were adopted to compare the effects of the location of weld line on the springback. Some cases of the experimental results were compared to the results simulated by using a commercial FEM code, PAM-STAMP and the theoretical results using the springback formula as well.

In general means, the stress concentration problem of elastic plate with a rectangular hole can be investigated by numerical methods, and only approximative results are derived. This paper deduces an analytical study of the stress concentration due to a rectangular hole in an elastic plate under bending loads. Base on classical elasticity theory and FEM applying the U-transformation technique, the uncoupled governing equations with 3-DOF are established, and the analytical displacement solutions of the finite element equations are derived in series form or double integral form. Therefore, the stress concentration factor can then be discussed easily and conveniently. For the plate subjected to unidirectional bending loads, the non-conforming plate bending element with four nodes and 12-DOF is taken as examples to demonstrate the application of the proposed method. The inner force distribution is obtained. The solutions are adequate for the condition when the hole is far away from the edges and the thin plate subjected to any transverse loadings.

Residual stress induced in U-bending and tube-to-tubesheet joint processes of PWR's row-1 heat exchanger tube was measured by X-ray method and Hole-Drilling Method(HDM). Compressive residual stresses(-) at the extrados surface were induced in U-bending, and its maximum value reached -319 MPa in axial direction at the position of $\psi$ = $0^{\circ}$. Tensile residual stresses(+) of $\sigma_{zz}$ = 45 MPa and $\sigma_{\theta\theta}$ = 25 MPa were introduced in the intrados surface at the position of $\psi$ = $0^{\circ}$. Maximum tensile residual stress of 170 MPa was measured at the flank side at the position of $\psi$ = $90^{\circ}$, i.e., at apex region. It was observed that higher stress gradient was generated at the irregular transition regions (ITR). The trend of residual stress induced by U bending process of the tubes was found to be related with the change of ovality. The residual stress induced by the explosive joint method was found to be lower than that by the mechanical roll method. The gradient of residual stress along the expanded tube was highest at the transition region (TR), and the residual stress in circumferential direction was found to be higher than the residual stress in axial direction.

Assuring required dimensional tolerance after spingback becomes the main concern of sheet-forming die designers when formability is secured through previous tryout. As a part to build a guideline to control springback in automobile frame forming, experiments are carried out to show the effects of process parameters, such as holding force, blank size, and lubrication, on corner angles of channels formed by U-bending or by square-cup drawing and trimming. The results are resented in the viewpoint of evaluating parameters.

프레스금형(press dies)에 의한 굽힘가공(bending work) 이라는 것은 평평한 블랭크(blank)를 필요로 하는 각도(角度)로 굽히는 것이다. 굽힘가공을 하면 굽혀진부분(flange)과 굽혀지지 않은 부분(web)으로 구분되며, 굽힘라인(bending line) 부분에는 굽혀진 각도(bending angle)와 굽힘반지름(bending radius)이 내측과 외측으로 성형된다. 이때, 내측 굽힘반지름의 크기는 제품의 재질별로 최소치수가 제시 된다. 제시된 최소치수 보다 작게 굽히면 절단면 굽힘부위에 덧살이 발생 하거나 외측 굽힘반지름 부위에는 균열(crack)이 생긴다. 굽힘가공에서의 외측 굽힘반지름은 자연적으로 생긴다. 그래서 외측 굽힘반지름 치수를 굽힘펀치와 다이블록으로 조정하면서 필요한 치수로 굽힐수 없다. 굽힘가공에는 V-굽힘, U-굽힘, Z-굽힘, O-굽힘, P-굽힘, 에지굽힘(edge bending), 트위스트굽힘(twist bending), 크림핑(crimping) 등이 있다.이 중에서 Z-굽힘은 굽힘라인이 2개로써 블랭크의 상면(上面)과 하면(下面)에 설정하여 상향(上向)굽힘이나 하향(下向)굽힘으로 작동되는 금형을 사용한다. Z-굽힘을 크랭크굽힘(crank bending) 이라고도 한다. 이런 구조의 금형으로 Z-굽힘가공을 하면 내측반지름은 표준치수로 굽혀진다. 표준치수라는 것은 굽힘가공에서 굽힐 수 있는 최소 굽힘반지름 치수로서 굽힘펀치의 각(角)반지름(Rp)를 뜻한다. 그런데 산업현장에서는 외측 굽힘반지름 치수를 굽힘펀치와 다이블록으로 굽힐수 없는 미세한 샤프에지(sharp edge) 형상인 매우 작은 치수(R=0.2mm)를 필요로하고 있는 바, 본 논문에서는 외측 굽힘반지름 치수를 0.2mm 이하로 굽힐수 있는 Z-굽힘가공 공법을 개발 하고자 하였다.

To verify the load equations, the load-stroke curves of the load equation that were analytically derived for sandwich plates were compared with those of the simulations in the case of the total thickness of 3 mm, the thickness of the face sheets of 0.5 mm, a gap between attachment points of 1.5 mm, and a thickness of the core element of 0.8 mm. The results of the comparisons showed that the overall analytic loads enable the prediction of the numerical loads irrespective of the change of the clearance, the radius of the die, and the radius ratio.

Pre-coated sheet materials are a cost-effective and environmentally attractive alternative to conventional sheet materials coated after forming. At present but the high scratch sensitivity of coating used for pre-coated metal sheet is a major limitation to use of these materials. Because of high scratch sensitivity, products made by pre-coated metal sheet are not formed by conventional design method. This study has been performed to investigate scratch characteristic of non-vinyl pre-coated metal (PCM) sheet. Using the simple U-bending test equipment, three non-vinyls PCM's were tested. This paper provides the results of bending tests showing the influence of sheet surface texture, tool material and process conditions. It was found that the influence of punch, die clearance and tool material had an effect upon the scratch characteristic.

The controlling and prediction of spring back is one of the most important factors in sheet metal forming processes which require high dimensional precision. The relationship between effective parameters and spring back phenomenon is highly nonlinear and complicated. Moreover, the objective function is implicit with regard to the design variables. In this paper, first the influence of some effective factors on spring back in U-die bending process was studied through some experiments and then regarding the robustness of artificial neural network (ANN) approach in predicting objectives in mentioned kind of problems, ANN was used to estimate a prediction model of spring back. Eventually, the spring back angle was optimized using the Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA). The results showed that the employment of ANN provides us with less complicated and time-consuming analytical calculations as well as good results with reasonable accuracy.

In the current study, spring-back of DP980 steel sheet was numerically evaluated for U-bending using a yield function with a hardening model. For spring-back prediction, two types of yield functions - Hill'48 and Yld2000-2d - were considered. Additionally, isotropic hardening and the Yoshida-Uemori model were used to investigate the spring-back behavior. The parameters for each model were obtained from uniaxial tension, uniaxial tension-compression, uniaxial tension-unloading and hydraulic bulging tests. The numerical simulations were performed using the commercial software, PAM-STAMP 2G. The results were compared with experimental data from a U-bending process.
