Abstract
In this work, an improved equivalent drawbead model is presented to replace the actual drawbead shape. Three-dimensional finite
element analysis of the deep drawing process was performed to determine the optimum distribution of drawbead restraining force for the
stamping of the joint panel of a gate pillar. The optimum design of the drawbead geometry was executed by means of nonlinear constraint
optimization in conjunction with the improved equivalent drawbead model. The drawbead geometry parameters obtained from the
optimization design were validated by the achievement of defect-free production panels. The simulation results correspond well with those
observed in actual practice, which demonstrates that the restraining force can be reflected effectively by the improved equivalent drawbead
model. # 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

3. Finite element model
Firstly, the equivalent drawbead restraining force is determined by the finite element method. Secondly, the geometrical parameters of the actual drawbead are designed by
means of the nonlinear constraint optimization method. The
experiments are performed on the condition of the simulations and the results of both cases are compared.
For the case of consistent drawbead restraining force with
a value of 36 N/mm at different sites, the results of the
experiment and the simulation correspond well with each
other, and fracture occurs at the same place, as shown in
Fig. 4. The drawbead restraining force distribution is then
