sandwich panel with central core honeycomb aluminum as one of the main shielding structures because of their high strength-to-weight ratio and improved energy absorption capacity, has been attracted the attention of many researchers and practitioners in recent years. this paper initiates and presents a new type of central core honeycomb formed by hydroforming process. the study is augmented by ...

Large vulnerable openings in human cranium require a rigid anatomical reconstruction. A possible solution is the use of personalised thin titanium plates, also denoted membranes. The indirect production process, which is mainly hydroforming or casting, requires a single die, which is shaped manually or milled directly from a CAD-file. Currently, the design of membranes is mainly manual work, ev...

One of the bellows producing method is hydroforming process .Whereas some factor of hydroforming process specially internal pressure affects on final characteristics produced bellows such as bursting, wrinkling and wall thickness distribution. In this paper the effect of internal pressure factor in final quality of produced bellows will be investigated. In simulation of process, ABAQUS/Explicit...

AbstractHydroforming process is a deep stretching process only with the difference that a fluid is used instead of the mandrel. This paper investigates the hydroforming process of non-cylindrical and non-spherical geometries using finite element analysis software to calculate the influences of effective process parameters such as the coefficient of friction between the surfaces and the pressure...
