Abstract
Reliable numerical prediction of springback in sheet metal forming is essential for the automotive industry. Thereare numerous factors that influence the accuracy of springback prediction by using the finite element method. One of thereasons is the through-thickness numerical integration of shell elements. It is known that even for simple problems thetraditional integration schemes may require up to 50 integration points to achieve a high accuracy of springback analysis.An adaptive through-thickness integration strategy can be a good alternative. The strategy defines abscissas and weightsdepending on the integrand's properties and, thus, can adapt itself to improve the accuracy of integration. A concept of theadaptive through-thickness integration strategy for shell elements is presented. It is tested using a simple problem of bendingof a beam under tension. Results show that for a similar set of material and process parameters the adaptive Simpson's rulewith 7 integration points performs better than the traditional trapezoidal rule with 50 points. The adaptive through-thicknessintegration strategy for shell elements can improve the accuracy of springback prediction at minimal costs
