The formability features of sheets made of the alloy Al 8011 are examined experimentally and the results are compared with the numerical ones in this research. Through an axisymmetric finite element simulation of the Erichsen cupping test, formability characteristics were evaluated. The Erichsen cupping test was used to exam□ine the effects of several factors, including friction at the punch-sheet contact and sheet thickness. The nonlinear finite element method is used to calculate the dom...
