Generally, springback can be reduced via increasing the tension deformation in the sheet metal. Increased tension strain can in turn decrease the stress gradient through the sheet thickness direction, thus causing the less springback.
However, this approach may induce over-thinning of the deformed part, which also cause the fracture risk. To do this, some optimization methods always employed to explore the suitable combination of forming parameters.
However, the magnitude of springback reduction is very limited. In actual forming cases, developing accurate FE model for springback prediction and effective compensation strategies is a significant way to control the springback defects.
For a common bending case,when the tension deformation in sheet metal (especially in the region that is near the yield of the sheet) is increased, the stress gradient through the thickness direction can be dramatically reduced. Thus, the bending moment of the bent part would be reduced. This is the fundamental principle for springback reduction and can be mathematically proved by establishing analytical model on the basis of force/moment equilibrium equations. In practical forming operations, most springback reduction methods rely on the principle, such as increased or variable blank holder force, double-bend method, etc.
Dhanesh G Mohan Thank You Sir for your suggestion. I read the article, but it only conclude the effect of strain rate on spring back. Author has not included any physics behind that.
