download PDFAbstract. Sheet metal forming processes are widely used in industry. The quality of formed parts can be significantly affected by various sources of uncertainty inevitably associated with the forming process. The objective of this work is to quantify the influence of thickness variability on the forming process of a cylindrical cup. Using numerical simulation, the influence of the sheet thickness variance on the evolution of the punch force versus displacement, the equivalent plastic strain distribution, the earing profile and the thickness around the cup is studied for a given cup height. Four thickness distributions with different variance values and the same average thickness value were studied. It was concluded that an increase in variance leads to an increase in thickness dispersion (at the base and curvature of the cup) and an increase in equivalent strain dispersion along the cup. The earing profile of the cup is also affected by the thickness variability, but to a lesser extent. On the other hand, the development of the punch force is not affected by the thickness variability.
