The overall coefficient of friction evaluated from experiments represents only an estimate

of the average value. It is quite likely that the friction will change from point to point on the

punch-sheet interface and also as a function of deformation. Such variation would be

difficult to determine and if determined would change from one application to another.

Experimentally and theoretically obtained punch-load deflection plots for mild steel

aluminum and brass specimens are shown in Figs 5-7. Experimental and theoretical values

are favorably matched. The small differences between experiment and theory shown in Figs

5-7 are mainly due to limited element numbers and stepwise contact conditions in numerical

calculations. The maximum punch depth in this case is about 35 ram.

The experimental measurements of thickness variations for each incremental stretching of

mild steel aluminum and brass specimens over a hemispherical punch are shown in Figures

8-10. As the punch travels the friction forces increasingly retard the metal movement over

the punch head thus causing less deformat ion there and more in the unsupported areas.

Thus the strain peak gradually shifts towards the edge of the hemispherical dome.

The thickness variations indicate that the stress and strain localization zones are severe at

later stages in stretching. This implies that at a certain stage the sheet will have a surface

depression or a neck. All specimens--steel aluminum and brass- -have been successfully

s tretched with no fracture unt i l the f inal s tage for 35 mm punc h travel. T hen we can expect

that as s tretching proceeds thinning at the root of the neck wil l be enhanced and w il l occurmu ch faster than the deform ation o f the rest of the sheet ow ing to the stress and s train

local izat ion. Init ia l ly cold rol led aluminu m sheet was used in our experiments but its

s tretchabil ity was l imited by i ts prior cold w ork. Alum inum sheets were annealed to im prove

ducti li ty . Hen ce the m easured V values we re clo se to unity .

Fro m Figs 8-1 0 w e can see that the overal l shapes are wel l matched. H owe ver the Contact

regions along the pu nch -shee t an d die-she et interfaces are not wel l matched. This suggests

that our experimen tal ly calculated overal l coeff ic ient of fr ict ion is not g oo d eno ugh to m odel

the real forming processes . I t seems that the actual value o f the coeff ic ient of fr ict ion along

the punch-sheet interface is somewhat less than the prescribed value in the analys is as

obtained from experim ents This s i tuat ion is reversed in the contact region alon g the

die-sh eet interface. Th is mean s that the coeff ic ient of fr ict ion varies from point to point andwe need a better understanding of such local variat ions in frict ion along the punch-sheet

interface.

Althou gh the theoret ical results com pare favorably w ith the experimental results i t has

been realized that a more realistic frictional variation along the punc.h-sheet interface is

needed. In fact research is in progress to invest igate such frict ional boun dary cond it ions
