Numerical simulation of the superplastic forming of thin sheet components using the finite element method

Superplastic forming is a manufacturing process whereby titanium or aluminium sheet is blow formed into a die to produce very light and strong aerospace components. Of crucial importance is the prediction of the final thickness distribution and the pressure cycle necessary to maintain superplasticity. This paper discusses a finite element based solution to these problems and presents examples for typical components including diffusion bonding effects.
