Abstract

A technology for evaluating forming allowance for a bending crack at a sheared end face of the press-formed component from shape information of an actual component. The method includes applying press forming including bending deformation to a metal sheet being sheared to manufacture a press-formed component, evaluating forming allowance for a bending crack at a sheared end face being an end face subjected to the shearing. A crack index value for evaluating the bending crack at the sheared end face of the press-formed component is obtained from a bend outer side strain at or near the sheared end face acquired on a basis of a component shape of the press-formed component and a press die bend radius at a portion forming the sheared end face in a press die used in the press forming, and the forming allowance for the bending crack is evaluated by the obtained crack index value.
