Simulation of sheet metal forming processes by presenting a bending-dependent inverse isogeometric methodology

Recently, eliminating the gap between design and formability analysis of sheet metal parts has been studied to simulate sheet metal stamping processes. In this regard, a transfer-based inverse isogeometric formulation has been proposed. This method has various advantages such as solving the governing equations in two-dimensional networks without any concern about the convergence; however, it neglects the bending effect which is a major...
