RT journal article T1 Comparative studies of hyperbolic sine constitutive models for constant pressure superplastic tests A1 García Barrachina, Luis A1 Gámez López, Antonio Juan A2 Ingeniería Mecánica y Diseño Industrial K1 Modelling K1 Constitutive Parameters K1 Hyperbolic Sine Model K1 Free-Inflation Test AB The constant pressure free-inflation test is a very versatile and simple tool for analyzingdifferent features of superplastic forming. In recent years, different methods have been proposedto measure constitutive parameters of the stress–strain relationship for the superplastic material,specifically the K and m parameters of the power law model. However, this law is restricted to beused in narrow strain-rate ranges, and poor results are obtained when applied in a broaderspectrum. To overcome this problem, numerous constitutive models covering the full strain-raterange applicable in superplastic forming have been proposed historically, including the hyperbolicsine equation. However, there is no clear consensus on the type of hyperbolic sine function to use.Some authors include a sensitivity parameter while others do not. This article aims to study thecharacteristics of the hyperbolic sine constitutive model, checking which of the historicallyproposed models achieves better results in the test at free deformation and constant pressure.
