Abstract
Novel finite element analyses and a series of experiments are performed to clarify basic characteristics of high-strength steel sheet metal during fabrication by asymmetric V-die bending processes. The proposed strategy for elastic–plastic FE simulation is used to simulate asymmetric V-die bending process to test its viability for friction contact processes. Accordingly, a series of experiments is performed to verify the numerical simulation. The calculation agrees well with the experiment. The effects of process parameters such as lubrication (contact friction), material properties, and process geometries on position deviation in bending point were experimentally tested to determine the dominant parameters for minimizing position deviation in sheet metal bending processes. Moreover, springback phenomenon is also discussed to minimize bending defects and to obtain a precise asymmetric bent component. This study could be used as a process design guideline for asymmetric bending of high-strength steel sheets.
