Optimum segmented blank holder shape and its variable blank holder gaps (VBHGs) are determined by a sequential approximate optimization (SAO) with radial basis function network. In deep drawing, wrinkling and tearing of blank sheet are major defects. The optimum segmented blank holder shape and its VBHGs are determined to avoid these defects. The Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) is employed to evaluate quantitatively the wrinkling and the tearing. In the numerical examples, a square cup deep drawing is handled. The objective is to minimize the thickness deviation after sheet forming. The wrinkling and the tearing are separately evaluated as the constraints. The dimensions of the segmented blank holder shape and the BHGs are taken as the design variables. The optimization result shows that simultaneous optimization of both the segmented blank holder shape and the VBHGs is one of the effective approaches for improving product quality.
