In the present study SEAM (Shear Energy Augmented Membrane) elements have been devel-oped. Maintaining the numerical efficiency of conventional membrane elements the effect of out-of-plane deformation (transverse shear deformation) has been incorporated for the purpose of computational stabilization without introducing additional degrees of freedom. Computations are carried out for the deep drawings of square cup to check the validity and the effectiveness of proposed SEAM elements. The computational results are compared with both the existing results. And the effects of process variables like initial sheet thickness punch & die round and clearance are checked

In the present study, a general tool surface contac search ad check algorithm is proposed. A general tool surface is described by triangular FE mesh. To check a proposed algorithm, clover cup and L-shape cup deep drawing processes are calculated. The elastic-plastic FEM using SEAM (Shear Energy Augmented Membrane) element is adapted for numerical stability.
