Wrinkling and fracture are main defects in sheetmetal forming. They can be reduced or eliminated by manipulating a suitable blank-holder force (BHF). But it is difficult to attain the optimum BHF during sheet-metal forming. In this article, a new optimization algorithm integrating the finite element method (FEM) and adaptive response surface methodology £(r)ARSM£(c) is presented to determinate the optimum BHF. To assure convergence, the trust region modes management strategies are used to adjust the move limit of design spaces. Finally, the optimum results of rectangular box deep drawing are given. Experiments are performed to verify the optimal result.
