Springback Prediction Compensation and Optimization for Front Side Member in Sheet Metal Forming Using FEM Simulation

Abstract:

Numerical simulation by finite element method has become a powerful tool in predicting and preventing the unwanted effects of sheet metals technological processing. One of the most important problems in sheet metal forming is the compensation of springback. To improve the accuracy of the formed parts, the die surfaces are required to be optimized so that after springback the geometry falls at the expected shape. This paper presents and discusses numerical simulation procedure of die compensation by using the methods of Simplified Displacement Adjustment (SDA). This analysis use Benchmark 3 models of Numisheet 2011. Sensitively analysis was done by using finite element method (FEM) show that the springback values are influenced by element size, integration points and material properties.
