In the rapid new automobile development, the use of simulation technology is highly demanded due to shorter time to market and fashionable product styling that go beyond the rule-of-thumb in the manufacturing technology. In stamping simulation, the expected predictions rest with the part formability, spring back, blank optimization, and other vehicle integration works. These predictions are conducted concurrently during detailed product design, and intensive product validation is performed based on such predictions. In current work, it has established the experimental mechanical properties and flow curve data for thin galvanized sheet metal. Furthermore, the true prediction of part formability is investigated with established data and standard material database embedded in commercial simulation software. The tensile experiments were carried out on a uniaxial hydraulic tensile test machine with sheet metal specimen and in accordance to ASTM requirements. Three different sheet metal specimens were prepared from the longitudinal, transverse and 450degrees from the rolling direction. From experimental works and formulation, the mechanical properties, anisotropy and flow curve had been obtained. Further improvement in the embedded material database increases the prediction accuracy of FEM analysis for Body-in-White structure and crash performance. |
