Forming limit curves are used as a parameter in finite element analysis to control the material's level of formability. In this research, forming limit diagram (FLD) of SS304L sheet was obtained by ABAQUSfinite element software. In practice, the experimental determination of a forming limit curve is a very time-consuming procedure which requires special and expensive equipment. Forming limit di...

In recent years, in order to reducing die design and manufacturing costs, Multi point forming technique has gained an increasing interest because of its high flexibility. In this process, the conventional fixed shape solid die sets are replaced with a pair of opposite matrices of controllable elements. In this paper, the fundamental principles of multi-point forming was described and the possib...

A classification framework for identifying correlations between 3D surfaces in the context of sheet metal forming, especially Asymmetric Incremental Sheet Forming (AISF), is described. The objective is to predict “springback”, the deformation that results as a consequence of the application of a sheet metal forming processes. Central to the framework there are two proposed mechanisms to represe...

more recently, titanium and aluminum alloys are gaining more interests to be implemented in hydro-forming applications. it is necessary to predict forming limits for these sheet alloys. forming limits play an important role in metal forming processes. forming limit diagrams, present the limit strains for various linear strain paths. in other hand, forming limit curve (flc), illustrates localize...

shape error due to elastic recovery of formed part in unloading known as springback, is one of the most important problems of tool design in sheet metal forming processes. many researches have been performed for proposing an efficient method to decrease or compensate springback error in sheet forming processes. these methods are usually based on iterative finite element algorithms. in this pape...

As incremental forming is a relatively new sheet metal process, very limited analytical and finite element prediction models are available in literature to study the process mechanics improve its performance. Thus, most studies involve many trial-and-error iterations optimize processing conditions order take advantage of high flexibility material formability. However, reducing efforts utmost im...
