A pneumatic experimental design to evaluate strain rate sensitive biaxial stretching forming limits for 7075 aluminum alloy sheets was attempted with the finite element method. It was composed of apparatus geometric design with pressure optimization as the process design. The 7075 aluminum alloy material was characterized by conventional Voce-type hardening law with power law strain rate sensitivity relationship. For optimization of the die shape design, the ratio of minor to major die radius (k) and profile radius (R) were parametrically studied. The final shape of die was determined by how the history of targeted deformation mode was well maintained and whether the fracture was induced at the pole (specimen center), thereby preventing unexpected failure at other locations. As a result, a circular die with k = 1.0 and an elliptic die with k = 0.25 were selected for the balanced biaxial mode and near plane strain mode, respectively. Lastly, the pressure inducing fracture at the targeted strain rate was studied as the process design. An analytical solution that had been previously studied to maintain constant strain rate was properly modified for the designed model. The results of the integrated design were compared with real experimental results. The shape and thickness distribution of numerical simulation showed good agreement with those of the experiment.
