Cover Story: This study compares the performance of different finite element formulations in simulating the hot-forming process of a complex Ti-6Al-4V aerospace component at 725 °C with an initial blank thickness of 1.6 mm. The simulation accounts for temperature, strain rate effects, friction, and anisotropy. The following three element types are compared: classic shell, solid, and continuum shell elements. The model is validated by comparing the predicted final part geometry and thickness distribution against experimental measurements. The continuum shell element provides the smoothest representation of thickness variations, while the study highlights the importance of selecting the appropriate element type for accurately simulating hot-forming processes involving large deformations and complex contact conditions. View this paper
