摘要：A new concept referred to the non-synchronous deformation effect of particle in sheet metal forming is proposed. The results of finite element analysis show that the flow resistance of sheet metal can be effectively reduced and thus the forming property can be greatly improved if the moving and deformation state of the neighboring elements with equal perpendicular distance to the entrance contour of die is non-synchronous. Experiment tests are presented and the results agree well with FEA simulation. In addition, the mechanism of the non-synchronous effect is analyzed in detail.
