Finite element analysis of thick sheet superplastic forming
This thesis deals with the numerical techniques required to simulate the superplastic forming of three dimensional thick sheet components. Superplastic behaviour is characterised by the dependence of the flow stress upon the strain rate and the constitutive equations are established on the basis of...
