The forming limit diagram (FLD) is commonly used in the forming industry to predict localized necking in sheet metals. However, experimental and mathematical determination of forming limit curves is based on in-plane deformation without taking a bending component into account. This paper addresses the question whether a forming limit diagram predicts localized necking too conservatively or too liberally...
