Vibrational micro-forming of pyramidal shape patterns was conducted for an Al superplastic alloy, Al 5083 and a Zr-based bulk metallic glass, $Zr_{62}Cu_{17}Ni_{13}Al_8$. A vibrational micro-forming system was specially designed for generating vibrational load by combining a PZT actuator with a signal generator. Single crystal Si micro dies with wet-etched pyramidal patterns were used as master dies for vibrational micro-forming. The micro-formed pattern height was increasing with increasing the frequency of the vibrational load. In particular, the vibrationally-microformed pattern height was similar or even higher than the statically-microformed pattern height when the load frequency exceeded about 125 kHz. It was also observed that the crystal grains affect the surface quality of the microformed pattern and the distribution of the pattern height in the die cavity array.

The purpose of this study is to provide the database of forming limit diagram applicable to the warm forming of oil pan. The test materials are SCP1 and SCP3C with the thickness of 1.4mm which is used for the oil pan of automobile. The testing temperature is 5$^{\circ}C$~15$0^{\circ}C$ which is In the range of practical usage. The results are the forming limit diagram limiting dome height and the maximum punch load at each temperature such as 5$^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$, 6$0^{\circ}C$, 9$0^{\circ}C$, 12$0^{\circ}C$ and 15$0^{\circ}C$. From these results, we can see that the forming limit curves are translated depending upon the temperature and that FLC at low temperature is higher than at high temperature. Both of limiting dome height and maximum punch load also decrease as the temperature increases. Present results can be useful for die trial and forming analysis as a tool of evaluating the forming severity for the sheet metal forming processes at the warm working condition by comparing the practical strains with FLC.

In this paper the forming simulation of circular bulge by using PAM-STAMP has been performed to estimate the sheet metal forning and the plastic deformation characteristic of circular bulge. The uniaxial tension tests adn bulge tests are carried out for studying the forming characteristics of materials, and also Moire experiment are carried out for measuring the radius of curvature of the bulge and the polar compressive thickness strain. In order to compare the simulation results with the experiment and Hills theory, the relationships between redius of curvature adn polar height of the bulge, between hydraulic pressure and polar height, and between polar compressive thickness strain and polar height, are used. According to this study, the results of simulation and Hills theory are good agreement to the experiment. So, the results of simulation by using PAM-STAMP and Hills theory will give engineers good information to assess the formagbility and plastic deformation characteristic of hydraulic circular bulge test.

Electromagnetic Forming is a high speed forming technology which uses electromagnetic (Lorentz’s) forces to shape sheet metal parts. In the current study the effect of the tool-sheet interaction during electromagnetic forming on formability enhancement is investigated using FEM. The decrease in void volume fraction by having the sheet contact with die helps to improve formability. The main purpose of the current study was to predict improvement of formed sheets whether the sheet contacts or does not contact the die under experimental conditions and 3-D finite element analysis. The results show that fractures caused by the voids in the forming sheet appear only in some specific cases and the bulge height of the conical shape was shorter than the height with a free bulge. For the same height conditions, however, the formability was improved for the conical-shaped die when there is sheet contact with the die.

Flexible roll forming is an advanced sheet-metal-forming process that allows the production of parts with various cross-sections. During the flexible process, material is subjected to three-dimensional deformation such as transverse bending, inhomogeneous elongations, or contraction. Because of the effects of process variables on the quality of the roll-formed products, the approaches used to investigate the roll-forming process have been largely dependent on experience and trial- and-error methods. Web-warping is one of the major shape defects encountered in flexible roll forming. In this study, an SVR model was developed to predict the web-warping during the flexible roll forming process. In the development of the SVR model, three process parameters, namely the forming-roll speed condition, leveling-roll height, and bend angle were considered as the model inputs, and the web-warping height was used as the response variable for three blank shapes; rectangular, concave, and convex shape. MATLAB software was used to train the SVR model and optimize three hyperparameters (λ, ε, and γ). To evaluate the SVR model performance, the statistical analysis was carried out based on the three indicators: the root-mean-square error, mean absolute error, and relative root-mean-square error.

This study is concerned with the analysis of the forming characteristics of radial-forward extrusion. Angle between radial and forward extrusion, gap height, and friction factor are considered as important design factors to affect forming characteristics in radial-forward extrusion. The rigid-plastic finite element method is adopted to analyze the effects of design factors on forming loads. The incremental rates of loads are nearly constant except the deformation zone from radial to forward extrusion. The smaller angle induces lesser force increment, therefore forming load increases as the angle increases. Maximum load also increases as gap-height decreases and friction factor increases.

This study aims to examine the influence of experimental and numerical factors on the results of the test and finite element simulation to evaluate the formability of sheet metals. The stretch-forming test with a hemispherical punch is carried out to obtain the limiting dome height (LDH) and forming limit diagram (FLD) for several kinds of aluminium and steel sheet. The results of the LDH and FLD tests are analysed to find any correlation with the uniaxial tensile properties. It proves that the size of the prescribed grid has great influence on the measured value of strain. The finite element analysis of the punch stretching process is also carried out and the result is compared with the experimental data. The influence of the numerical parameters such as friction coefficient, element size and anisotropy model on the simulation results tms out to be very considerable.

This paper is concerned with the analysis of the forming characteristics of radial-backward extrusion. The single action pressing is analyzed by using the rigid-plastic FEM. The design factors such as die corner radius, gap height, and friction factor are involved in the simulation. The analysis is focused on the influences of the design factors on the maximum punch farce and metal flow into can and flange region. As a result of analysis, the gap height among the design factors is known to have a major effect on the metal flow of radial-backward extrusion for single action pressing compared with other design factors. As is expected, forming load and volume of flange increase as gap height and die corner radius increase, respectively.
