Finite Element Analysis of Sheet Metal U-Bending Using Free Form Surface

This paper deals with the optimization of tools geometry in sheet metal forming U-bending in order to reduce the equivalent strain, equivalent stress, and thickness change after forming. Free form surface method (Bezier curve, B-spline curve, and NURBS curve) is used to generate the die and punch pr...
