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...

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...

In this article, the effect of different yield functions on prediction of forming limit curve (FLC) for aluminum sheet is studied. Due to importance of FLC in sheet metal forming, concentration on effective parameters must be considered exactly in order to have better theoretical prediction comparing experimental results. Yield function is one of the factors which are improved by adding new coe...
