3D elasto-plastic FEM analysis of the sheet drawing of anisotropic steel sheet

The article presents the experimental and numerical results of rectangular cup drawing of DC03 cold-rolled steel sheet. The aim of the experimental study was to analyse material behaviour under deformation. The received numerical results were further verified by experimental results. A 3D parametric finite element model was built using the commercial package ABAQUS. If the material and friction anisotropy are taken into account in the numerical model, this approach undoubtedly gives the most approximate numerical results to real processes.
