Abstract
Two forms of rate-sensitive constitutive equations, additive and multiplicative, are examined in the analysis of sheet metal forming using the finite element method. Results are obtained for hemispherical punch stretching of an AK steel sheet material with various punch speeds. The computed results in thickness strain distributions and load-displacement curves are almost identical for the two constitutive laws at a low punch speed. However, the additive law provides better agreement in the thickness strain distributions with the experimental trends for high-speed forming.
