However, the EMF process is complicated due to magnetic-structure coupling analysis. Numerical simulation offers an opportunity to overcome the problem. Nevertheless, most present models for EMF process are limited to 2D axisymmetric model. So, a three-dimensional （3D） finite element model was established to analyze the electromagnetic sheet bulging. The contact between the sheet and the die and the effect of sheet deformation on the magnetic field analysis were both taken into consideration during the forming process. The simulation results of deflection at the sheet center and 20 mm away from the center were in agreement with the experimental ones. The plastic strain energy and plastic strain were analyzed.展开更多

The parameters studied are element formulation, friction coefficient, and material model. Numerical simulations using the non-linear finite element method are conducted to produce virtual experimental data for several collision scenarios. Pattern and size damages caused by collision in a real accident case are assumed as real experimental data, and these are used to validate the method. The element model study performed indicates that the Belytschko-Tsay element formulation should be recommended for use in virtual experiments. It is recommended that the real value of the friction coefficient for materials involved is applied in simulations. For the study of the material model, the application of materials with high yield strength is recommended for use in the side hull structure.展开更多
