摘要：

Drawbeads are often applied in the deep drawing process to improve control of the material flow during the forming operation. Drawbeads restrain the sheet from flowing freely into die cavity. This paper deals with analysis of effect of draw bead geometry in sheet metal drawing process. Finite element analysis of drawing of circular blanks into axi-symmetric hemispherical cup was done. Circular and rectangular drawbeads were introduced into the Finite Element models and their influence in distribution of strain and thickness were investigated. DYNAFORM and LS-DYNA, a commercially available explicit FEA code were used to model and analyze the forming process respectively. These outcomes are compared with experimental results. The numerical results were found in good agreement with the experimental results. Plastic strain and Von-Mises stresses produced by rectangular drawbeads are higher when compared with the use of circular drawbead. Due to its geometry rectangular drawbead bends and unbends the sheet four times and restrains the material more than circular drawbead.
