Abstract: This paper presents a simple and efficient method for the analysis of dynamic behavior of the workpiece in the electromagnetic forming process. A two-dimensional (2D) axisymmetric finite element model with the equations of electrical equivalent circuit, electromagnetic field, and mechanical field has been developed for calculating the discharge currents through the forming coil, the magnetic forces acting on the workpiece, and the plastic deformation of the workpiece.
