The document discusses the forming limit curve and Keeler-Goodwin diagram, which are used to predict sheet metal forming behavior and failure. The forming limit curve divides a diagram into safe and failure zones based on major and minor strains, with points above the curve implying necking or fracture. Originally developed through mechanical tests by Goodwin and Keeler, it provides a graphical method to evaluate formability by comparing strain points to curves.

proposed by Goodwin (1968) and Keeler (1961), respectively, through mechanical tests *A forming limit diagram, also known as a forming limit curve, is used in sheet metal forming for predicting forming behaviour of sheet metal. diagram attempts to provide a graphical description of material failure tests, such as a punched dome test. *In order to determine whether a given region has failed, a mechanical test is performed. The mechanical test is performed by placing a circular mark on the work piece prior to deformation, and then measuring the post- deformation ellipse that is generated from the action on this circle. By repeating the mechanical test to generate a range of stress states, the formability limit diagram can be FORMING LINE:- * The Keeler–Goodwin diagram, also known as the forming line diagram (FLD), was originally derived as an experimental, semi quantitative tool to aid designers in evaluating the risks of local fracture and necking in sheet forming It is now used frequently in failure diagnosis of sheet forming processes and has been implemented in most sheet forming simulation software * FLD is divided into different zones by several curves. The vertical and horizontal axes correspond to the major and minor strains, respectively. At any instant during a forming process, the strain at each location on the sheet is represented as a point in the forming limit diagram. The formability of the sheet can be evaluated by comparing the positions of these points to the curves. KEELER GOODWIL FORMING LINE DIAGRAM FLD is divided into different zones by several curves. The vertical and horizontal axes correspond to the major and minor strains, respectively. At any instant during a forming process, the strain at each location on the sheet is represented as a point in the forming limit diagram. The formability of the sheet can be evaluated by comparing the positions of these points to the curves. The solid curve which is called the forming limit curve (FLC), separates the safe and failure zones. A strain state above the FLC implies local necking or fracture. The left- and right-hand sides of the FLC were originally proposed by Goodwin (1968) and Keeler (1961), respectively, through mechanical tests. In practice, there is some scatter in the measured necking strains, and instead of a single curve, there is a band within which necking is likely to occur . The intersection of the forming limit curve with the vertical axis is noted as FLD, which depends THANK YOU
