Springback Analysis in Sheet Metal Forming of Non-linear Work-Hardening material Under Pure Bending

Abstract

This paper deals with the springback analysis in sheet metal forming for non-linear work-hardening material under pure bending. Using the deformation theory of plasticity, formulation of the problem and spring back ratio is derived using Ramberg–Osgood stress strain relationship with Tresca and Von-Mises yielding criteria. The results have been representing the effect of different value of Y/E or σo/E ratio, different values of strain hardening index (n), Poisson’s ratio (ν) and thickness on springback ratio (R0/Rf). The main aim of this paper is to study the effects of the thickness, Y/E ratio, n and Poisson’s ratio in spring back ratio. © 2016, The Institution of Engineers (India).
