Creep age forming of Al-Cu-Li alloy: Application to thick sheet forming of double curvature aircraft panel

Creep-age-forming of a thick Al-Cu-Li sheet is studied. An industrial stamping press is used to form a double curvature panel at a reduced scale. This forming, which includes several relaxation steps, is modelled using ABAQUS. A material model describing an elasto-viscoplastic behaviour with anisotr...
