Abstract

This paper examines the hypothesis that the under-prediction errors of current finite element analysis (FEA) springback models would be eliminated by the inclusion of changes that occur in the elastic modulus with the large plastic strains of forming. This hypothesis was evaluated by comparing the results of an FEA model that used either a constant elastic modulus or a modulus with plastic strain dependence determined from experiments, to laboratory springback measurements. This comparison found that the measured decrease in the elastic modulus with plastic strain was insufficient to fully explain the springback prediction errors.
