Abstract
The superplastic bulging of circular sheets clamped against axisymmetrical cylindrical dies has been analysed numerically by means of a rigid–viscoplastic finite element method, in which four node quadrilateral isoparametric elements are used with a Newton–Raphson nonlinear solution scheme. Both effects of normal anisotropy and strain hardening in the material are considered and a modified Coulomb friction law is adopted. At the same time, the yield criterion suited for the superplastic forming process and the cavity damage evolution model deduced from continuum damage mechanics are applied to a finite element formulation. The influences of material parameters (the strain rate sensitivity exponent
