Abstract
Forming is a manufacturing process by which the geometrical shape and size of sheet and plate metals are changed by means of either an external force using mechanical presses and dies or induced thermal stresses by external heat. This study reports on the finite element analysis of mechanically formed steel components using the ANSYS commercial package version 14.5. The samples of the steel sheets were mechanically formed to about 120 mm curvatures using a 20 ton capacity eccentric mechanical press at room temperature. The results showed that the steel samples were successfully formed to the curvature of about 120 mm and the finite element modelled results confirmed the experimental measured curvature.
