Friction drilling is a widely used process to produce bushings in sheet materials, which are processed further by thread forming to create a connection port. Previous studies focused on the process parameters and did not ...

Microstructural responses to the mechanical load of polymers used in tissue engineering is notably important for qualification at in vivo testing, although insufficiently studied, especially regarding promising polycaprolactone ...

An ever-increasing demand for more effective products with lower weight, more compact design and extended functionality has led to the use of material combinations with locally adapted properties instead of mono-materials. ...

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 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 ...

Within this work uniaxial tensile tests have been performed with high-manganese TWIP-steel and different dual-phase steels to determine mechanical properties. The transfer of the results form uniaxial tensile tests to ...

An optical fibre-based strain sensor embroidered to a functionalised carbon structure (FCS) that can be used for structural health monitoring (SHM) is introduced. The aim of the design is not only to monitor strain, but ...
