Incremental forming is an innovative flexible method used for manufacturing of the sheet metal products and brings a great insight for the small-batch-size or customized sheet products. Some experiments show that incremental sheet metal forming can undergo higher deformations than traditional sheet metal forming. The traditional method to evaluate formability like forming limit curve (FLD) etc can’t give the right answer in incremental forming which is subjected to highly non-monotonic serrated strain paths. In this paper, the Lemaitre’ damage model is presented and fully coupled with finite element simulation in commercial software ABAQUS to predict the failure in incremental forming. Results show that the prediction makes a great agreement with the relevant experiments.
