Abstract
A comparative and numerical study on the formability of a sheet formed into a V-shaped die using a conventional stamping operation and an electromagnetic forming (EMF) process was performed. To evaluate the damage evolution and failure prediction using a finite-element method (FEM), the Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman plasticity material model was employed in the numerical simulation. The impact of the sheet with the die generates a complex stress state during the EMF process. Damage suppression due to the tool-sheet interaction may be one of the main factors contributing to the increased formability in the EMF process compared to the conventional forming operation. In addition, a high level of kinetic energy produces high strain-rate constitutive and inertial effects, which delay the onset of necking and may also be responsible for the increased formability using EMF.
