This study uses bulge tests to establish the forming limit diagram (FLD) of tubular material AA6011. A self-designed bulge forming apparatus of fixed bulge length and a hydraulic test machine with axial feeding are used to carry out the bulge tests. Loading paths corresponding to the strain paths with a constant strain ratio at the pole of the bulging tube are determined by FE simulations linked with...
