Abstract

This paper describes a new approach for identification of the optimum pressure history for SPF processes, based on mechanisms-based hyperbolic constitutive equations. This equation set has been modified to incorporate the effect of the damage behaviour the material suffers due to the cavitational evolution of Al-5083 superplastic alloy. A large deformation, multiaxial formulation of the constitutive equation set is implemented and applied to finite element modelling of a bulge test forming process to characterise the cavitation evolution behaviour in the bulge test, using conventional (constant strain rate) and the newly proposed (variable strain rate) strategy.
