Because of the wide variety of the composite materials, inherent variability in properties, and complex temperature and strain rate dependence, large strain behavior of these materials has not been well characterized. Large strain behavior under uniaxial tension is characterized over a range of temperatures and strain rates, and a modified simple linear viscoelastic model is fit to the observed data. Of particular importance is the strain rate and temperature dependence of these composites, and it is the primary focus of this study. The strain rate and temperature dependence is then used to predict limiting tensile strains, based on Marciniak imperfection theory. Excellent correlation was obtained between model and experiment and the results are summarized in maps of forming limit as a function of strain rate and temperature.

ISB panel, inner structured of metal in two skin and bonded, has inner structures which have low relative density, stiffness and strength with low weight of make improvement for that purpose. A kind of Inner structures have various structure types. In this paper, we have studied the Forming Limit Diagram(FLD), thickness variation and stress strain to dimple structure of sheet by analysis of Dynaform and LS-Dyna.

In order to restrain the local necking during stretching of sheet metals, the combined stretching processes with simultaneous compression are proposed. The combined stretching tests with two types of compression to top of the cup were carried out using the pure aluminum sheets; (1) stroke control loading process and (2) pinpoint loading process. It was clarified that the metal flow in the cross-section of the cup is affected significantly both by the magnitude of load and the stroke in the compression process. It was also found that the local necking can be restrained effectively by the metal flow from center of the cup and therefore the forming limit is improved.

The effect of press warm forming in cylindrical deep drawing of stainless-aluminum clad sheet metals are examined . The temperature of die and blank holder is varied from room temperature to 20$0^{\circ}C$, while the punch is kept cooled during test to increase the fracture strength of workpiece on the punch corner area. Test materials chosen for experiments are STS304-Al050-STS304, STS304-A1050-STS430-, STS304 and Al050 metals and teflon film as a lubricant is used on both sides of a workpiece. The limit drawing ration as well as quality of drawn cups (distribution of thickness and hardness)are investigated and discussed.

This study is to investigate the effects of warm deep drawing with aluminum sheets of A1050-H16 and A5020-H32 for improving deep drawability. Experiments for producing circular cups and square cups were carried out for various working conditions, such as forming temperature and blank shapes. The limit drawing ratio(LDR) of 2.63 in warm deep drawing of circular cups in case of A5020-H32 sheet, whereas LDR of 2.25 in case of A1050-H16, could be obtained and the former was 1.4 times higher than the value at room temperature. The maximum relative drawing depth for square cups of A5020-H32 material was also about 1.92 times deeper than the depth drawn at room temperature. The effects of blank shape and forming temperature on drawability as well as thickness distribution of drawn cups were examined and discussed.

This study analyzed the mechanical behavior of lithium-ion battery pouch material and predicted its formability. A homogenization method was used to evaluate the physical properties of the pouch, and a new hardening model was developed. The yield function for the plastic model was optimized, and the anisotropic property was determined. Also, the forming limits were measured and predicted using the M-K forming limit diagram. Finally, a square cup drawing experiment confirmed the accuracy of the measured mechanical properties and the formability calculation.

The limit drawing ratio (LDR) is a major process parameter in the process design of deep drawing. If the actual drawing ratio is greater than the LDR for a particular stage, then an intermediate stage has to be added to the process sequence to avoid failure during the ratio. In this study, the optimal process design considering forming limit is performed for the first-drawing and redrawing by using finite element method combined with ductile fracture criterion. The LDR and the site of fracture initiation are predicted by means of the fracture criterion. From the results of finite element analysis, the optimal value of drawing ratio is obtained, which contributes to the more uniform distribution of thickness and the smaller values of the ductile fracture in final cup.

The inner-structure bonded(ISB) sheet metal is defined as a composite sheet metal which has middle layer of truss-structure between two skin sheets. The characteristics such as ultra-light weight, high rigidity, high strength, etc are required especially for automobile parts. The characteristic of ISB sheet metal depends on inner-structure pattern or method of bonding. Pyramid type of crimped expanded metal is used for inner-structure and both of resistance welding and adhesive bonding are applied to make a specimen. As a result of compression test, it is appeared that forming limit is 10% reduction in thickness under a load of 8kgf per unit element(one inner-structure). In case of uniaxial tensile test the non-uniform surface integrity rather than the buckling of inner-structure happened at a load of 450kgf, which indicates elongation of 7.2% and thickness reduction of 13%. The eye-inspection method was applied to examine the defects occurring on the specimen during stretch forming. In case of biaxial stretch forming only the non-uniform deformation on the surface of a skin sheet could be observed. The forming limit in stretching of ISB sheet metal with the hemi-spherical punch of 150mm in diameter was 3mm in forming depth and 5% reduction in thickness.

The conventional and new forming processes of a steel shell body are analyzed by the rigid-plastic finite element method. The conventional process contains five forming stages such as bending, drawing, ironing, heading and sizing, which was designed by a forming equipment expert. The results of simulation of the conventional forming process are summarized in terms of deformation patterns and load-stroke relationships for each forming operation. Based on the simulation results of the current five-stage, the shell body forming Process including backward extrusion is designed for improving the conventional process sequence. Forming loads of the proposed process are within the limit value, which is proposed by experts and the proposed process is found to be proper for manufacturing steel shell body.
