Abstract

Abstract Computational simulations of superplastic forming by 2-D plane strain including simple analytical and finite element and 3-D finite element modeling were compared with each other. The piece being formed was a rectangular pan with a female die. The effect of die entrance radii upon pressurization rate and thickness distribution was examined. Experimental work was conducted on superplastic aluminum-lithium 8090 material for comparison with predictions from simulations.
