  • This paper discusses the error propagation characteristics of the Newmark explicit method, modified Newmark explicit method and ${\alpha}$-function dissipative explicit method in pseudodynamic tests. The Newmark explicit method is non-dissipative while the ${\alpha}$-function dissipative explicit method and the modified Newmark explicit method are dissipative and can eliminate the spurious participation of high frequency responses. In addition, error propagation analysis shows that the modified Newmark explicit method and the ${\alpha}$-function dissipative explicit method possess much better error propagation properties when compared to the Newmark explicit method. The major disadvantages of the modified Newmark explicit method are the positive lower stability limit and undesired numerical dissipation. Thus, the ${\alpha}$-function dissipative explicit method might be the most appropriate explicit pseudodynamic algorithm.

  • Recent developments of Fe technology make it possible to apply CAD/CAE/CAM techniques successfully to the stamping die design among the automotive parts industries. Those successful applications are greatly attributable to the development of commercial S/W. Up to now most commercial S/W for the analysis of sheet metal forming is based on the dynamic explicit algorithm. The main characteristics of dynamic explicit algorithm is that there is no convergence problem if the time increment is taken less than the stability limit. The stability of the analysis is guaranteed in the commercial code, since the adequate time increment is computed from the so called "Courant Condition". However excess computing time is often pointed out in the dynamic explicit analysis according to the characteristics of process parameters taken. In the study, various parameters that may affect the stability and the method how to improve computational efficiency of analysis have been investigated.estigated.

  • The problem analyzed here is a sheet metal forming process which requires a drawbead. The drawbead provides the sheet metal enough tension to be deformed plastically along the punch face and consequently, ensures a proper shape of final products by fixing the sheet to the die. Therefore, the optimum design of drawbead is indispensable in obtaining the desired formability. A static-explicit finite element analysis is carried out to provide a perspective tool for designing the drawbead. The finite element formulation is constructed from static equilibrium equation and takes into account the boundary condition that involves a proper contact condition. The deformation behavior of sheet material is formulated by the elastic-plastic constitutive equation. The finite element formulation has been solved based on an existing method that is called the static-explicit method. The main features of the static-explicit method are first that there is no convergence problem. Second, the problem of contact and friction is easily solved by application of very small time interval. During the analysis of drawbead processes, the strain distribution and the drawing force on drawbead can be analyzed. And the effects of bead shape and number of beads on sheet forming processes were investigated. The results of the static explicit analysis of drawbead processes show no convergence problem and comparatively accurate results even though severe high geometric and contact-friction nonlinearity. Moreover, the computational results of a static-explicit finite element analysis can supply very valuable information for designing the drawbead process in which the defects of final sheet product can be removed.

  • 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 modelling of material requiring large computation time. In the present work, rigid-plastic explicit finite element method is introduced for analysis of sheet metal forming processes in which plane strain normal anisotropy condition can be assumed by dividing the whole piece into sections. The explicit scheme is in good agreement with the implicit scheme for numerical analysis and experimental results of auto-body panels. The proposed rigid-plastic explicit finite element method can be used as robust and efficient computational method for prediction of defects and forming severity.

  • The explicit scheme for finite element analysis of sheet metal forming problems has been widely used for providing practical solution since it improves the convergency problem,memory size and computational time especially for the case of complicated geometry and large element number. 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. A direct trial-and-error method is introduced to treat contact and friction. In order to show the validity and effectiveness of the proposed explicit scheme, computation 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 explicit element method can be used as a robust and efficient computational method for analysis of sheet method forming.

  • To examine the residual stress field resulting from stamping process for the lower control arm of a car, the explicit finite element analysis is performed for the stamping process by way of the ABAQUS Explicit. The residual stress is obtained in terms of the Von Mises stress and other parameters such as equivalent plastic strain, the change of blank thickness, the final configuration of the blank and the spring back effect are also considered. Moreover, discussed is the convergence of the explicit FEM versus the punch sped and the element discretization

  • In the present work computations are carried out for analysis of complicated sheet metal forming process such as forming of a rear hinge. Finite element formulation using dynamic explicit time integration scheme and step-wise combined Implicit/Explicit scheme are introduced for numerical analysis of sheet metal forming process. The rigid-plastic finite element method based on membrane elements has long been employed as a useful numerical technique for the analysis of sheet metal forming because of its time effectiveness. The explicit scheme in general use is based on the elastic-plastic modelling of material requiring large computation time. In finite element simulation of sheet metal forming processes, the robustness and stability of computation are important requirements since the computation time and convergency become major points of consideration besides the solution accuracy due to the complexity of geometry and boundary conditions. The implicit scheme employs a more reliable and rigorous scheme in considering the equilibrium at each step of deformation, while in the explicit scheme the problem of convergency is eliminated at the cost of solution accuracy. The explicit approach and the implicit approach have merits and demerits, respectively. In order to combine the merits of these two methods a step-wise combined implicit/explicit scheme has been developed.
