Plane-Strain Analysis of Auto-Body Panel Using the Rigid-Plastic Finite Element Method

강소성 유한요소법을 이용한 자동차 판넬 성형공정의 평면 변형해석

A plane-strain finite element analysis of sheet metal forming is carried out by using the rigid-plastic FEM based on the membrane theory. The sheet material is assumed to possess normal anisotropy and to obey Hill's new yield criterion and its associated flow rule. A formulation of initial guess generation for the displacement field is derived by using the nonlinear elastic FEM. A method of contact treatment is proposed in which the skew boundary condition for arbitrarily shaped tools is successively used during iteration. In order to verify the validity of the developed method, plane-strain drawing with tools in analytic expression and with arbitrarily shaped tools is analyzed and compared with the published results. The comparison shows that the present method can be effectively used in the analysis of plane-strain sheet metal forming and thus provides the basis of approximate sectional analysis of panel-like sheet forming.

본 연구에서는 평면 변형률 강소성 유한요소법을 이용하여 유한요소 수식화를 유도하고 금형이 해석저인 함수로 묘사되는 드로잉 공정을 해석하고, 금형이 해석적인 함수로 묘사되지 않는 실제적인 자동차 성형품의 드로잉 공정을 해석하여 기존의 결과 와 비교하여 본 방법의 타당성을 검토하였다.
