This study is about typical sheet metal forming processes applied in aerospace industry including flexform, stretch form and stretch draw. Each process is modelled by using finite element method for optimization. Tensile, bulge, forming limit and friction tests of commonly used materials are conducted for defining the hardening curves, yield loci, anisotropic constants, forming limit curves and friction coefficients between die and sheet. Process specific loadings and boundary conditions are applied to each model. The models are then validated by smartly designed experiments that characterize the related forming processes. Lastly, several examples are given in which those models are used to predict the forming defects before physical forming and necessary die design and process parameter changes are applied accordingly for successful forming operations.
