Sheet-bulk metal forming is a new production process capable of performing deep-drawing and massive forming steps in a single operation. However, due to the high forming forces of the forming process, continuous process ...

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 ...

Results of an experimental-numerical evaluation of a new butterfly specimen for fracture characterisation of AHHS sheets in a wide range of stress states are presented. The test on the new butterfly specimen is performed ...

The processing and component properties of metals have led to their worldwide success in mechanical engineering. Their advantages are high ductility, efficient production methods, good joining ability and nearly isotropic ...

The paper presents implementation of fracture prediction algorithm for a cold metal forming process simulation in the software QForm. Authors programmed the function for calculation of the criterion proposed by Bai and ...

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 ...

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 ...
