Abstract
The pressure ram forming (PRF™) process is simulated by implementing the mechanical threshold strength (MTS) model into ABAQUS finite element analysis software through a user material subroutine (UMAT). The predicted shape and thickness distribution of the PRF aluminium bottle and the force on the backing ram during forming are found to be in good agreement with measurements.
