Abstract
Wrinkling is one of the most undesirable effects during forming of thin sheet metal plates. It deforms the surfaces and either hampers further assembly or creates stress concentration regions which may fail during operations. Yoshida wrinkling test is considered as one good tool to analyse the wrinkling properties of sheet metals. Alluminium alloys are most commonly used in aviation industry where wrinkling initiation and its propagation is considered an even serious defect. Present research was therefore focussed on Finite Element simulations of Allumium Alloy-5456-H116 metal sheets specimens of the standard shape of Yoshida specimen. During simulations the applied load values were equal to Yield strength, yield strength +10%, and Yield strength -10%. Wrinkling initiation and propagation was observed as deformations along X,Y and Z axis on a predefined path of the specimen and stress values at this path were also evaluated. Findings have been established through an overview of deformation along each axis corresponding to stress values at that location on the path.
