In this work, finite element analysis of superplastic forming (SPF) and quick-plastic forming (QPF) of AA5083 is presented. A microstructure-based constitutive model capable of describing the deformation of the material at different strain rates is used in the simulation. Different forming scenarios (e.g. constant pressure, constant strain rate and variable strain rate) are discussed.
Summary: Finite element simulations of superplastic forming and quick-plastic forming of aluminum 5083 sheets.
