• Drawbead uplift force analytical model for deep drawing operations 

      Gil, Imanol; GALDOS, Lander; Mendiguren, Joseba; Otegi, Nagore; Sáenz de Argandoña, Eneko (IOP Publishing Ltd., 2018)
      Drawbead uplift force calculation has been an open issue among the deep drawing tool maker and software developers in the last years. Starting from the original work of Stoughton (1988) many have been the models presented ...
    • Influence of the pressure dependent coefficient of friction on deep drawing springback predictions 

      Gil, Imanol; GALDOS, Lander; Mendiguren, Joseba; Sáenz de Argandoña, Eneko; Mugarra Fernandez, Endika (Elsevier Ltd., 2016)
      The aim of this work is to show the influence of defining a pressure dependent friction coefficient onnumerical springback predictions of a DX54D mild steel, a HSLA380 and a DP780 high strength steel. Thepressure dependent ...
    • New drawbead tester and numerical analysis of drawbeads closure force 

      Gil, Imanol; Mendiguren, Joseba; GALDOS, Lander; Mugarra Fernandez, Endika; Sáenz de Argandoña, Eneko (Springer, 2021)
      Currently, a great deal of controversy exists regarding the real forces generated in drawbeads during sheet metal forming processes. The present work focuses on the analysis of the uplift force. First, a detailed literature ...
    • On the accurate characterization of the drawbead up-lift forces 

      Gil, Imanol; GALDOS, Lander; Otegi, Nagore; Mendiguren, Joseba; Sáenz de Argandoña, Eneko (IOP Publishing Ltd., 2018)
      The competitiveness of the automotive sector has led to a high demand of accuracy and reduction in lead-time of the deep drawing tool making process. In that regard, the numerical simulation of the deep drawing process has ...
