Springback analysis for the stamping of an automotive part with high strength steel sheet

The study of springback analysis of 440MPa high strength steel is investigated in this paper. Because of the springback phenomenon is related to the material properties and the deformation mechanism during the forming process, the material properties of 440MPa high strength steel are studied at first. The material properties of 440MPa high strength steel are obtained by conducting cyclic uniaxial tension-compression tests with different strain ranges. In order to apply the material properties obtained from the experiments to the finite element analysis, the material constants required in the Yoshida-Uemori model (Y-U model) with the Bauschinger effect considered are established. For realizing the springback characteristics of 440MPa high strength steel, the U-hat draw-bending and V-shape bending are examined by the finite element analysis. From the simulation results, it finds that the side wall curl phenomenon occurs in the U-hat drawbending and the springback phenomenon appears in the V-shape bending. M...
