Abstract
Forming limit diagram (FLD) is the most appropriate tool used to obtain the safe strain region in sheet metal forming industries. This FLD is based on limiting values of major and minor strains. This Limiting strain is the strain at the onset of fracture / necking in a sheet metal. It is influenced by the material / condition of the material, strain condition in geometrical features of a sheet metal. In this paper, square pattern – square holed, perforated commercial aluminium sheets are considered for the study. The limiting strain for the above perforated sheet metals is predicted using finite element analysis. It is found that the limiting strain is controlled by percentage of open area, ligament ratio and hole size.
