Abstract

This manuscripts reports results of the last 2-3 years work pertaining to DOE-OVT funded project on pulse-pressure forming of light-weight materials. We report experimental results of electrohydraulically formed sheets where data is determined using a pair of high-speed cameras and analyzed using a digital image correlation technique. These results are relevant to the formability of sheet materials and of importance to the automotive industry. To the authors’ knowledge, such results have not been published in the literature.
