Abstract In general, a large part of the time is devoted to design and production reliable parts where extensive knowledge required for engineers come up with an optimal solution tooling sheet metal forming processes. Most time, principle trial error used get desired shapes products. This because prediction deformations occurring in elements not available highly dependent on geometry part, tool...

forming limit curve (flc) is an important tool for evaluation of formability of sheet metals subjected to different loading. free bulge of aluminume tubes has been investigated numerically to obtain flc. to verify the numerical results one experimental setup has been manufactured which has the ability of controlling the internal pressure and axial feed. in this study, time and zone of bursting ...
