In sheet metal forming, springback is defined as an elastic material recovery after unloading of the forming tools. Springback causes variations and inconsistencies of final part dimensions. Therefore prediction of springback is very important for production of precise products used in automobile and aerospace industries. There are various parameters involved in the process of sheet metal forming, including Young's modulus, coefficient of friction, Poisson's ratio, blank thickness, blank length, die radius, punch radius and blank holder force. The aim of this paper is to investigate the springback of a U-channel part by finite element analysis (FEA) and to identify the influences of important parameters on the springback of advanced high strength steels (AHSS) using numerical simulation.
