element method to investigate the formability of sheet metal. The Fukui testing involved
both deformation drawing and stretching. The elastic and plastic material properties are
testing with plane stress and axis symmetric. There are three types of material
aluminium, brass and steel are used to this project. The project begins with die design
with AutoCAD and Solidworks. The project is further to modeling finite element with
Algor FEA. The simulation started with elastic and plastic material model with plane
stress. Then the material model is changed to axis symmetric with elastic and plastic
material. The data collection taken to making graph of displacement. The simulation
taken different time for each material. The variables for this project are variety of sheet
metal and geometry type plane stress and axis symmetric. The constant of this
simulation are thickness of sheet metal and displacement of the indenter to deform the
material. All the data from Algor’s software will show the different value of
displacement when transferred to Microsoft Excel. The axisymmetric geometry type
shown the data are not too overlapping each other compare to plane stress. From the
data documentation, the discussion and result were conclude for making the developing
Fukui conical cup sheet metal formability modeling.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 SHEET FORMABILITY TEST
Formability is a measure of the amount of deformation a material can withstand
prior to fracture or excessive thinning. Sheet metal forming ranges from simple bending,
to stretching, to deep drawing of complex parts. Therefore, determining the extent to
which a material can deform is necessary for designing a reproducible forming
operation. Mechanical properties greatly influence formability, and forming properties
may vary from coil to coil, it is essential to test incoming sheet material. However, the
outcome of a forming process depends on both material characteristics and process
variables such as strain, strain rate and temperature. In fact, stress and strain fields are
so diverse during a forming process that no single test can reliably predict the
formability of materials in all situations.
The important point to bear in mind is that they change gradually and
predictably as the yield strength of the steel increase. No discontinuous drop in
formability is experienced. Certain formability modes are insensitive to yield strength.
Therefore, knowing the charge in formability parameters expected, compensation can be
made in part design, tool design, lubricant selection and press parameters [1]. Sheet
metal parts are usually made by forming in a cold condition, although many sheet metal
parts are formed in a hot condition because the material when heated has a lower
resistance to deformation. Strips or blanks are very often used as initial materials, and
are formed on presses using appropriate tools. The shape of a part generally corresponds
to the shape of tool.
2
Sheet metal forming process is used for both serial and mass production. Their
characteristics are high productivity, highly efficient use of material, easy servicing
machines, the ability to employ workers with relatively less basic skills and other
advantageous economic aspects. Parts made from sheet metal have many attractive
qualities: good accuracy of dimension, adequate strength, light weight and a broad range
of possible dimensions.
However it is not possible to evaluate accurately the formability of the materials
in terms of these parameters. The complete assessment of the formability, the direct
methods, such as the Ericksen test, Swift cup test, and Fukui conical cup test have been
used for determination of formability [2].
1.2 PROJECT BACKGROUND
The sheet metal is a very important thing nowadays, because of many
applications use this material. Even though, there are limitation of sheet metal
formability and many cases while deforming the sheet metal, the component fractures at
certain point. The causes of failure are parameters related to forming process. The
project is expected to find the sheet formability by using finite element method. The
project is using finite element modeling of Fukui Sheet Metal Formability Test to
investigate the ability of sheet metal to be shaped.
This research will overcome this problem with finite element analysis with find
the elastic and plastic deformation of sheet metal with four different materials with
same thickness. The aluminum, brass, steel and iron are the variables of this simulation
with the constant thickness.
1.3 PROBLEM STATEMENT
In many cases, while deforming sheet metal, the causes of failure are related to
forming process. This developing the Fukui finite element modeling will solve and
investigates the performance of sheet metal with the simulation testing. According the
3
three different of sheet metal will give the different of formability each sheet metal. It
solve sheet metal forming problem with identify where a forming process is predicted to
fail. The Fukui sheet metal involved both deformation stretching and drawing.
1.4 THE OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH

this project are:
(i) The material that used in this project which is divided with three materials like
aluminum, brass, and steel
(ii) Design and simulate the modeling of Fukui Sheet Metal Testing
CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 SHEET METAL
Sheet metal is one of the most important semi finished products used in the steel
industry, and sheet metal forming technology is therefore an important engineering
discipline within the area of mechanical engineering. Sheet metals are characterized by
a high ratio of surface area to thickness. Sheet metal forming is basically conversion of
a flat sheet metal into a product of desired shape without defect like fracture or
excessive localised thinning [3].
The products made by sheet-forming processes include a large variety of shapes
and sizes, ranging from simple bends to double curvatures with shallow or deep
recesses. Typical examples are metal desks, appliance bodies, aircraft panels, beverage
cans, auto bodies, and kitchen utensils. In many cases while deforming the sheet metal,
the component fractures at certain point. The causes of failure are parameters related to
forming process. The sheet metal is available as flat pieces. The sheet metal are formed
by running a continuous sheet of metal through a roll slitter. The sheet metal thickness
is called gauge. The gauge of sheet metal ranges from 30 gauge to 8 gauge. The thinner
the metal is, the higher of gauge.
There are many application that using sheet metal like car bodies, airplane
wings, roofs, lab table and so on. In automobiles the sheet metal is deformed into the
desired and brought into the required form to get car part body pressings like bonnet,
bumpers, doors, etc. In aircraft’s sheet metal is used for making the entire fuselage
wings and (body). In domestic applications sheet metal is used for making many parts
5
like washing machine body and covers, iron tops, timepiece cases, fan blades and
casing, cooking utensils etc.
2.1.1 FORMABILITY TEST
Sheet metal formability is undergoing a transition from art to science.
Formability within each forming mode can be related to specific metal formability
parameters [4]. The successful sheet metal forming process which is can convert
initially from flat to desired shape. There many major failures that always happened
such as splitting, wrinkling or shape distortion. The formability test is use to access of
sheet to be deformed into a useful part [5]. The testing can divided into two types:
intrinsic and simulative. The intrinsic tests measure the basic material properties under
certain stress strain states, for example the uniaxial tensile test and the plane strain
tensile test. Traditional evaluation of formability is based on both intrinsic tests and
simulative tests. The intrinsic tests measure the basic characteristic properties of
materials that can be related to their formability. These tests provide comprehensive
information that is insensitive to the thickness and surface condition of the material.
Uniaxial tensile test, Plane strain tensile test, Marciniak Biaxial Stretching test,
Examples of intrinsic tests are Hydraulic Bulge test, Marciniak In-Plane Sheet torsion
test, Miyauchi shear test, Hardness test. The simulative test can provide limited and
specific information that may be sensitive to factors other than the material properties
like the thickness, surface condition, lubrication and many more. subject the material to
deformation that closely resembles the deformation that occurs in a particular forming
operation. Examples of these tests include Ericksen, Olsen, Fukui, Swift tests.
2.3 DEEP DRAWING
Formability of sheet metal generally understood to mean capability of being
extensively deformed into desired shape without any fracture or defects in the finished
part. This process is called deep drawing or press forming. The deep drawing process is
the most common sheet metal forming method. Generally, this process is involved with
a flat blank is formed into a finished shape between a pair of matched dies. A blank of
sheet metal is restrained at the edges, and the middle section is forced by a punch into a
6
die to stretch the metal into a cup shaped drawn part. This drawn part can be circular,
rectangular or just about any cross-section. Drawing can be either shallow or deep
depending on the amount of deformation. Shallow drawing is used to describe the
process where the depth of draw is less than the smallest dimension of the opening;
otherwise, it is considered deep drawing.
Other forming methods exist, but in all of them two principal kinds of
deformation, drawing and stretching are involved [4]. This drawing process, the
clamping force of the hold down dies is just sufficient to permit the material to flow
radially into the die cavity without wrinkling. Drawing leads to wrinkling and puckering
at the edge where the sheet metal is clamped. This is usually removed by a separate
trimming operation.

2.4 STRETCHING
A wavy piece of sheet metal can be straightened by gripping it at two opposite
sides and stretching it a bit beyond its elastic limit. It will come out straight, flat and
undistorted. Sheet metal so treated by a mill is termed stretcher leveled, and is supplied
to meet flatness requirements.
8
Parts blanked from aluminum and other soft metals can also be stretched if
product designers and tooling designers agree that it is needed. In the operation
sequence, one or more stations before the blanking station, a station is provided for
impressing a grid of closely-spaced pinpoint indentations on both sides of the material.
These indentations, although tiny, shallow and barely visible, have the same effect as
stretching. They flatten and stiffen the metal in the area where the blanking will occur,
so that the finished part will have the required flatness, yet with the indentations hardly
noticeable.
The periphery of the tray has a short vertical rim and a narrow horizontal flange.
When this part is draw-formed, an unequal compressive stress builds up along the rim
and flange, and continues down into the bottom panel. This stress sometimes warps a
part like this and introduces the objectionable "snap" action. To avoid this defect, the
bottom of the tray is stretched a little in a way that cancels the compression stress there.
This gives the metal a new granular orientation, eliminates the objectionable twist and
allows the tray to lie steady on the table.
The stretching that is introduced could be designed into the drawing die, or it
could be done as a second operation after the part is completed. In the first method, the
blank is drawn and the bottom stretched in one operation. In the second, the drawing
only is performed in the first of two dies. The stretching is done later in another die.
Both methods produce the same results. Depending upon the ingenuity and discretion of
the die designer, the stretching could comprise a pattern of shallow rectangular
depressions pressed into the bottom panel to stretch the excess metal, remove stress, and
prevent it from twisting. Unfortunately, it is the nature of these procedures to render
unpredictable results, so they must be worked out experimentally in each case.
2. 5 FINITE ELEMENT METHOD
Finite element method (FEM) is originated from the solving complex elasticity
and structural analysis problems. The finite element method is a numerical technique for
finding approximate solutions of partial differential equation as well as of integral
equation. The finite element method is one of a good technique for solving partial
9
differential equations over a complex domain. Finite element analysis allows detail
visualization of where structures bend or twist. This software gives wide range of
simulation for controlling the complexity of both modeling and analysis of a system.
There are generally two types of analysis that are used in industry: 2-D modeling, and 3-
D modeling. Within each of these modeling schemes, the programmer can insert
numerous algorithms (functions) which may make the system behave linearly or non-
linearly. Linear systems are far less complex and generally do not take into account
plastic deformation. Non-linear systems do account for plastic deformation, and many
also are capable of testing a material all the way to fracture.
The solution approach is based either on eliminating the differential equation
completely (steady state problems), or rendering the PDE into an approximating system
of ordinary differential equations, which are then numerically integrated using standard
techniques such as Euler's method, Runge-Kutta, etc.
There are many ways of doing FEM, this is because of the advantages and
disadvantages. The FEM is a good choice for solving partial differential equations over
complex domains like cars and oil pipelines, when the domain changes as during a solid
state reaction with a moving boundary, when the desired precision varies over the entire
domain, or when the solution lacks smoothness. For instance, in a frontal crash
simulation it is possible to increase prediction accuracy in "important" areas like the
front of the car and reduce it in its rear (thus reducing cost of the simulation)
2.5.1 Types of Analysis
Sheet Metal Analysis: The thin bodies, a different type of meshing approach is
required. For sheet metal parts, the sheet metal can extract and mesh a mid-surface
using 2D plate elements instead of 3D solid elements. These structures are represented
much more efficiently using 2D elements without compromising accuracy, with
minimal solution time and use of computer resources. We use sheet metal mid-surface
for both static and modal analysis.
