Abstract
Isogeometric analysis (IGA) has been used with great success when combined with incremental methods to simulate sheet metal forming. In this paper, we present the development of one-step inverse IGA based on the total deformation theory of plasticity. For a large number of industrial stamping parts, the membrane effects are dominant. Thus, we adopted an isogeometric membrane element to predict the flattened contour of the initial blank from the energy-based initial solution estimation approach. In addition, we used the Newton–Raphson algorithm for nonlinear plastic iterations to evaluate the thickness and equivalent strain and stress of the final stamping parts. We applied our framework to square box and S-rail surface models for demonstration. The results for these two examples illustrate the performance of one-step inverse IGA and its applicability to the integrated design of sheet metal forming.
