A multi-step assembly process: drawing, flanging and hemming of metallic sheets

This paper presents hemming tests on complex geometries, combining curved surfaces and radii of curvature in the plane. The samples are firstly prestrained in order to obtain a strain history prior to flanging and hemming. The choice of the sample geometries as well as prior plastic strains is base...
