Finite Element simulation of Electro-Hydraulic Forming of Sheet by using time pressure curve in Abaqus

In this simulation Finite Element simulation of Electro-Hydraulic Forming of Sheet by using time pressure curve in Abaqus has been investigated. Sheet metal forming processes are those in which force is applied to a piece of sheet metal to modify its geometry  rather than remove any material. The applied force stresses the metal beyond its yield strength, causing the material  to plastically deform, but not to fail. By doing so, the sheet can be bent or stretched into a variety of complex shapes.  The conventional sheet metal forming processes include bending, roll forming, deep drawing and stretch forming.  With advancement in the technology several high strain rate forming processes like explosive metal forming  process, electro-magnetic pulse forming and electro-hydraulic forming processes which are based on high pressure  pulse generation using different sources of energy are being used frequently in the industry

The blank is modeled as three dimensional shell part with elastic plastic material property.You can see a figure of assembled part at below

In this simulation the validation of the paper has done and the simulation has good appropriate with the paper. Dynamic explicit step with surface to surface contact has been used. Time-Pressure curve has use to model the pressure pulse . During the simulation the maximum displacement of dome is the same with paper result .You can see some figures of this simulation at below
