Description
Summary:In this paper the sheet forming process of cylindrical drawpieces was sim-ulated based on the finite element method by the explicit approach in the pres-ence of contact conditions with isotropic and anisotropic friction. The ex-perimental and numerical results obtained in the Abaqus finite element (FE) based program are presented. The aim of the experimental study is to analyse material behaviour under deformation and in addition to use the results to verify numerical simulation results. It was found that, although, the anisotropy of resistance to friction affects the height of ears, the influence of the friction formulation is relatively small in comparison with material anisotropy. The study indicates that FE analysis with 3-node triangular shell element S3R elements ensures the best approximation of the numerical results to the real process when both material and friction anisotropy are taken into account.
