Today composite materials become increasingly more common to use for lightweight applications. This paper introduces a simulation approach for a handling and forming process. This process focusses on the robot based gripping, ...

By sheet metal forming processes the forming limits and part characteristics are defined through the process specific loads. In deep drawing processes the maximum deep draw ratios as well as the springback behaviour of the ...

The service life of rolling contacts is dependent on many factors. The choice of materials in particular has a major influence on when, for example, a ball bearing may fail. Within an exemplary process chain for the ...
