The multi-step forward finite element method is presented for the numerical simulation of multi-step sheet metal forming. The traditional constitutive relationship is modified according to the multi-step forming processes, and double spreading plane based mapping method is used to obtain the initial solutions of the intermediate configurations. To verify the multi-step forward FEM, the two-step simulation of a stepped box deep-drawing part is carried out as it is in the experiment. The comparison with the results of the incremental FEM and test shows that the multi-step forward FEM is efficient for the numerical simulation of multi-step sheet metal forming processes.

The aim of this work is to present a POD (Proper Orthogonal Decomposition) based surrogate approach for sheet metal forming parametrized applications. The final displacement field for the stamped work-piece computed using a finite element approach is approximated using the method of snapshots for POD mode determination and kriging for POD coefficients interpolation. An error analysis, performed using a validation set, shows that the accuracy of the surrogate POD model is excellent for the representation of finite element displacement fields. A possible use of the surrogate to assess the quality of the stamped sheet is considered. The Green-Lagrange strain tensor is derived and forming limit diagrams are computed on the fly for any point of the design space. Furthermore, the minimization of a cost function based on the surrogate POD model is performed showing its potential for solving optimization problems.
