Numerical simulation of blanking process

Abstract

This paper presents numerical simulation of blanking process for cold-rolled steel sheet metal. The problem was modeled using axial symmetry in commercial finite element software ADINA. Data obtained by experimental measurement were used to create multi-linear plastic material model for simulation. History of blanking force vs. tool displacement was obtained.
