== Abstract ==

A formal analogy between the equations of pure plastic and viscoplastic flow theory for void containing metals and those of standard non linear elasticity is presented. It is shown how by direct simplifications of the general equations, the standard incompressible flow expressions for non voided metals are obtained. The general formulation is particularized for the analysis of sheet metal forming problems and details of the viscous voided shell and membrane formulations for dealing with the axisymmetric case are given. Finally, some examples of applications of pure and hemispherical stretching and deep drawing of a circular sheet axe presented.
