Abstract

A constant coefficient of friction (Coulomb) is commonly used as the current industry standard to describe friction on the sheet metal forming simulation software. The use of constant Coulomb’s friction may reduce precision and so the effectiveness of the simulation to represent real-world processes. This paper presents an approach using a physical measurement of friction combined with pressure dependent friction model as an input for the metal forming simulation of a hood inner part on AutoForm. The input variable parameters are the constant Coulomb and the enhanced pressure-dependent model. For the output this study analyses the Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) and blank’s draw-in in a real problem provided by a car manufacturer.
