Keywords: finite element method, metal matrix components, superplastic forming

Superplastic formation capability is one of the main characteristics of Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) that is widely used in making integrated components in the aerospace industries. The present study has been designed to investigate the differences in plastic strain results of MMCs for several fiber's overlapping ratios (OR).
