Abstract In this paper, the influences of various material parameters, the hardening exponent (n), the rate sensitivity (m). the thickness anisotropy parameter (R) and the index M in the Hosford and Hill yield function, on the hydrostatic bulging of a circular clamped sheet of ductile metal materials are analysed by introducting a rigid-viscoplastic finite element method. By numerical studies, an empirical relationship within the average limit thickness strain −ɛ 3 αγ* and the material parameters (n andm) is obtained. Besides, it has been found that the influences of surface shapes of the yield function on the average limit thickness strain can be reflected by the Barlat'sP value which represents the effects ofR andM values.
