3. Characterization of sheet metal formability
3.1 Simulation tests
When sheet metal processing by stamping began to take on truly industrial dimensions (early 20th century), quality problems led users and manufacturers to develop tests enabling them to judge the quality of sheet metal with regard to forming. The idea naturally arose of carrying out tests on a small scale, similar to those performed in the stamping industry. These tests are called simulation tests.
