Simulation and Analysis of the Beverage Can Necking Process Using LS-DYNA

Due to their large production quantities, beverage cans have been the subject of many studies. Such studies have as objectives to increase the level of understanding of the structural behavior of the can as well as its manufacturing process. In this work, the necking process is studied by means of a parameter response study carried out with the help of LS-DYNA. Even when the necking process is affected by many factors including can geometry, material properties, tool geometry, friction coefficient between the tools and the can, punch speed, etc., in this study only four variables are taken into account: friction coefficient, punch speed, can thickness and can radius.
