Abstract
Based on a simple forcebalance method, an approximate analysis of the plane strain, deep drawing of sheet metal is carried out under the assumptions of Coulomb friction and the membrane theory of shells. Using this analysis with an estimate of the ratio of ultimate to yield load in plane strain enables us to predict the maximum work hardening of the part. This hardening is shown to depend upon the draw bead settings, the frictional conditions on the die and punch, the wall angle of the draw die, and certain uniaxial material properties, chiefly, the ratio of ultimate to yield stress, but also including the rate sensitivity and the anisotropy parameter. The limitations of this theory (mainly, the neglect of bending effects) are discussed. Comparison is made between predicted work hardening and measured yield strengths in a bumper facebar of dual phase steel. Springback of a gently curved part is calculated for preloads and postloads. It is shown that postloads are more effective, and that they can, in principle, reduce springback to low levels in any typical automotive sheet metal. In practice, it is difficult to transmit forces of sufficient magnitude to the region under the punch for certain materials.
