In view of the prevalence of non-linear strain paths that develop in parts that are formed in multiple stages, such as bent and hydroformed structural components, the conventional forming limit curve (FLC) cannot be used to assess the forming severity of this manufacturing process. A path-independent stress-based forming limit criterion has been shown to be far more suitable to evaluate such parts, and this paper shows how this failure criterion can be effectively used to evaluate tubular hydroformed parts on the shop floor. Knowing the strain history in a given location of a part, a shifted FLC can be computed from the stress-FLC and used to determine the safety margin at this location. This methodology was used to evaluate the forming severity of an automotive instrument panel beam. It was found that this approach is user-friendly and provides a significant improvement in the ability to assess process robustness and product quality compared to the conventional method. The FLCs obtained using the proposed method were found to be in good agreement with those predicted with an MK-based calculation code. Finally, it is shown that a numerical simulation of the entire forming process is recommended to confirm the estimated strain path in critical locations and improve the accuracy of the method.
