Abstract
A fully instrumented stretch flange press equipped with a back‐up punch and draw‐beads near the specimen cutout area is simulated. The utilization of different draw‐bead geometries is examined numerically to determine the restraining forces, strains and amount of damage generated in stretch flanges during forming. Simulations of the forming process are conducted for 1mm AA5182 sheets with circular cutouts. The damage evolution with the deformed specimens is investigated using the explicit dynamic finite element code, LS‐DYNA, with a modified Gurson‐based material model. It was found that double draw‐beads can provide the same amount of restraining force as single draw‐beads, but at reduced levels of damage.
