Hydroforming process has become an effective manufacturing process because it can be adaptable to forming of complex structural components. Tube hydroforming has been successfully developed in the real industrial field by many researchers. However, there still remains the constraint about shape which can be manufactured by tube hydroforming. In order to improve this constraint of shape and formability of conventional sheet metal forming, hydroforming process of sheet metal pairs becomes an important technology. In the present work, the finite element analysis of hydroforming process of sheet metal pairs is presented. After basic study about experimental parameters based on numerical analysis, hydroforming process of sheet metal pairs is developed which uses hydraulic pressure as a main forming source.

The shell part is made of 2-layered blank because of functional requirements. To investigate the draw formability in this kind of part, the 2-layered sheet metal forming analysis process should be stipulated. First of all, treatment of contact with each blank must be considered to prevent the penetration on the each blank. Subsequently, applying the draw bead force is considered carefully because application of drawbead force for analysis is different with equivalent drawbead force. Formability as like crack, neck and wrinkles is estimated by FLD(Forming Limit Diagram) and thinning. A feasibility of the 2-layered sheet metal forming analysis process study is verified compare 2-layered sheet metal forming analysis with experimental results.

Generally, the forming process of sheet metal is very complex and difficult process because of many variables such as tool geometry, material properties and lubrication. In this view point, the numerical analysis of sheet metal forming process is very difficult. High speed computer is used to model complex sheet metal forming process on a reasonable time scale. The design and development of sheet metal parts in the automotive industry and the need for improved sheet forming process and reduced part development cost have led to the use of computer simulation in tool/die design of sheet metal pressing. HMC(Hyundai Mator Company) has invested to develop programs for analysis of sheet metal forming process with connection of Universities. As a result, several programs were developed. Recently, the commercial software, PAM-STAMP of ESI was installed and is being tried to application of it to the real automotive panels. This article reviews the ongoing activities on development and application of analytical modeling of sheet metal forming at HMC.

In order to measure the friction coefficient used in sheet metal forming analysis, a friction tester was manufactured and friction tests were performed in various forming conditions. Based on the friction coefficients measured, a mathematical friction model was constructed in terms of lubricant viscosity, blank holding force, punch velocity and sheet roughness. In addition, the effect of the number of forming parameters in the calculation of friction coefficient on the accuracy of sheet metal forming analysis was investigated by comparing the punch loads obtained from the FEM simulation, in which the friction coefficients were determined by a few parameters with the experimental measurement.

The technology of incremental forming has drawn attention for small-batch production of sheet metal components. In the present investigation a forming tool containing a freely-rotating ball was developed and applied to forming experiments. Deformation characteristics including crack occurred during forming with this tool was examined for full annealed Al1050 sheet. The finite element analysis was successfully applied to this special type of forming process, and provided results that agree well with the measurements.

Process optimization is carried out to determine process parameters which satisfy the given design requirement and constraint conditions in sheet metal forming processes. Sensitivity -based-approach is utilized for the optimum searching of process parameters in sheet metal forming precesses. The scheme incorporates an elasto-plastic finite element method with shell elements . Sensitivities of state variables are calculated from the direct differentiation of the governing equation for the finite element analysis. The algorithm developed is applied to design of the variablc blank holding force in deep drawing processes. Results show that determination of process parameters is well performed to control the major strain for preventing fracture by tearing or to decrease the amount of springback for improving the shape accuracy. Results demonstrate that design of process parameters with the present approach is applicable to real sheet metal forming processes.

Explicit dynamic finite element analysis has been used widely in the field of sheet metal forming. However in using the analysis technique there are some parameters which are not clearly defined so that engineers may obtain inaccurate solutions In the present study parameters such as time step damping ratio penalty constant and punch speed were investigated on their influence to the solution behavior. Considered forming processes are plane stain bending by a punch and axisymmetric deep drawing.

During sheet metal forming on a double-action press, drawbeads on the blankholder supply a restraining force which controls the flow of metal into the die. The sheet formability can be improved by the optimum drawbeads installation when the punch enters into the die opening. Experiments on the various drawbeads, circular, step, double circular, and circular-step drawbead, have been performed under various working conditions.

Flexible forming process for sheet material using reconfigurable die is introduced based on numerical simulation. In general, this flexible forming process using the reconfigurable die has been utilized for manufacturing of curved thick plates used for hull structures, architectural structures and so on. In this study, numerical simulation of sheet metal forming process is carried out by using flexible dies model instead of conventional matched die set. The numerical simulation and experimental verification for sheet metal forming process using a flexible forming machine that is more suitable for thick plate forming process are carried out to confirm the appropriateness of the simulation process. As an elastic cushion, urethane pads are utilized using hyperelastic material model in the simulation for smoothing the forming surface which is discrete due to characteristics of the flexile die. In the flexible forming process for sheet metal, effect of a blank holder is also investigated according to blank holding methods. Formability in view of occurrence of dimples is compared with regard to the various punch sizes. Consequently, it is confirmed that the flexible forming for sheet material using urethane pad has enough capability and feasibility for manufacturing of smoothly curved surface instead of conventional die forming method.

In order to find the effect of lubricant viscosity, sheet surface roughness, tool geometry, and forming speed on the frictional characteristics in sheet metal forming, a sheet metal friction tester was designed and manufactured and friction test of various sheet were performed. Friction test results showed that as the lubricant viscosity becomes lower, the friction coefficient is higher. When surface roughness is extremely low or high, the friction coefficient is relatively high. The result also show that as the punch radius and punch speed becomes bigger, the friction coefficient is smaller. Using experimental results, the mathematical expression between friction coefficient and lubricant viscosity, surface roughness, punch comer radius, or punch speed is also described.
