Abstract: | Electromagnetic sheet metal forming is a high speed forming process using pulsed magnetic fields to form metals with high
electrical conductivity such as aluminum. Thereby, workpiece velocities of more than 300 m/s are achievable, which can cause
difficulties when forming into a die. The kinetic energy, which is related to the workpiece velocity, must be dissipated in
a short time slot when the workpiece hits the die; otherwise undesired effects, for example rebound can occur. One possibility
to handle this shortcoming is to locally increase the stiffness of the workpiece. A modal analysis is carried out in order
to determine the stiffness of specific regions of the workpiece so that an estimation concerning the feasibility of the desired
geometry is possible in advance without doing cost and time consuming experiments. Thereby, the desired geometry of the workpiece
will be fractionized in significant sectors. This approach has to define the internal force variables acting on the cutting
edge, which are required to constrain the numerical model. Finally, a method will be developed with the objective of calculating
the stiffness of each sector. The numerical results will be verified by experiments.
