For many metals, a transient variation of the yield stress can be observed when changing the orientation of a load-path. Such behavior affects the manufacturing process itself, e.g. by increasing forming forces, altered ...

To face challenges like damping effects or weight reduction in the automotive sector, new hybrid material combinations are developed. One possibility is the combination of several symmetric material layers with varying ...

Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of its mechanical, chemical and physical properties. Metallic materials are comparatively ductile and easy to process. Fibre reinforced plastics are very stiff ...

Hot-stamped components are an important part in steel-intensive automobile lightweight design in which the use of the heat-treatable steel 22MnB5 has been established. However, the field of application is limited by the ...

The paper presents application of fracture behaviour characterisation results of a dual-phase sheet steel DP600 to an FEA of its deep-drawing for shear fracture prediction. The characterisation results were obtained with ...
