Accurate prediction on stamping springback behavior of U-shaped part is one of the urgent problems to be solved in the manufacturing industry. Therefore, based on Hill48 yield criterion, hybrid hardening model and elastic modulus attenuation model, the stamping springback prediction model for DP980 high-strength steel was established by uniaxial tensile test and cyclic loading test, and the finite element simulation model for stamping springback of U-shaped part was established by using software ABAQUS. Furthermore, the hybrid hardening-elastic modulus attenuation prediction model was established, which was embedded into VUMAT and UMAT solving subroutines by secondary development, and the prediction results of isotropic hardening model, hybrid hardening model and the prediction model proposed were compared and analyzed in the springback simulation of U-shaped parts. The results show that based on the established hybrid hardening-elastic modulus attenuation model and the finite element simulation model, the stamping springback behavior of DP980 high strength steel  U-shaped part can be accurately predicted, and the prediction error of springback angle is only 0.17%.
