Numerical analysis of shock wave propagation and AL5083 sheet bulging in explosive hydro forming process

The present work simulated the explosive forming of a torisperical dished head from the Al-5083 aluminum alloy against a male die. The simulation was used to investigate the strain distribution across the final product as well as to capture the complex nature behind this High Energy Rate Forming (HE...
