Abstarct: Fiber mextal laminate are among the most widely used in aerospace industry .conventional forming method is not presented for this material because of low formability is demanding. In this thesis hydromechanical deep drawing technology is applied in order to recognize the drawing height of FML. FML has been made by AA1050-0 as mextal laxyer and composite core that had made with fiber glass and Polyurethane matrix. Hot press machine with time and temperature control has been used to produce FML. The initial sheet is formed into the die cavity with a press that equipped by hydronic appliances. The influence of process parameters such as chamber pressure, pre-bulging pressure and drawing ratio investigated on drawing height. In numerical analyses Abaqus explicit solver is applied. Sheet mextal is considered as an elastic-plastic material. Anisotropy behavior of sheet mextal is forgotten and FLD damage criteria is take into account for rapture modeling of sheet mextal. And also, Characteristic curve of chamber pressure according to drawing ratio for composite sheet that had been made is achievd. The results indicate that deepest safe products has been performed in pre-bulging pressure of 35 bar. Besides, the range of desirable chamber pressure will be narrower in higher drawing ratio. The comparison of numerical and experimental results determined that Finite element modeling has been used to simulation of FML forming has acceptable estimate of accuracy.
