In the recent decades the finite element method has become an essential tool for the cost-efficient virtual process design in the metal forming sector in order to counter the constantly increasing quality standards, ...

Bone remodelling around a femoral prosthesis is one of the main reasons of aseptic loosening of the implant’s stem. The difference in stiffness between the bone tissue and the prosthesis leads to unload the periprosthetic ...

Mechanical joining processes provide various advantages over conventional fusion welding of metallic components such as shorter cycle times, little or no heat input and reduced need for subsequent surface finishing operations. ...

Magnesium sheet alloys have a great potential as a construction material in the aerospace and automotive industry. However, the current state of research regarding temperature dependent material parameters for the description ...

The paper presents results of a FEA-based tool design optimisation for a clinching process with an open multiple-part die. The studied materials are the bake-hardening steel CR240BH (1.5 mm) on the punch side and the ...

The importance of high-strength steel concepts for car bodies has increased in recent years due to the necessity of weight reduction and improved crash safety. By using hot stamping or also known as press hardening of boron ...

Within the scope of the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1153 novel process chains for the production of hybrid solid components by Tailored Forming are developed at the Leibniz Universität Hannover. The combination of ...

The proposed study focuses on blanking of thin steel sheets of Dogal1000DP +Z100MBO. Numerical and experimental investigations of the influence of clearance and punch speed on the cutting force and the geometry of the ...

In this study the material flow of a newly developed ultra-high-carbon lightweight steel (uhc-steel) with a high amount of aluminum was investigated in an extrusion process. Cylinder compression tests were performed for ...

Due to increasing product requirements the numerical simulation has become a powerful tool for the effective and efficient design of individual process steps as well as entire process chains. In order to model hot forging ...
