The forming limit diagrams (FLDs) characterizing the formability of sheet metals are usually obtained by applying proportional loadings. Nevertheless, industrial processes involve strain path changes that can modify limit-strain values. In addition, for strongly anisotropic such as Zn-Cu-Ti zinc alloy, large differences in curves (FLCs) with respect to rolling direction observed. present work, ...

In this study, "Buckling Limit of Strain" (B.L.S.) is introduced as one of the most important limiting factors in cold roll forming process. B.L.S. is calculated by the finite element procedure. Then for two particular processes with existing analysis and experimental results, B.L.S. has been determined and evaluated. LUSAS 12.3 is used for finite element analysis. The results show that when bu...

We present a new kind of subdivision schemes, which we call combined subdivision schemes. Such schemes are used to reene a given control net, taking into consideration boundary conditions on the limit surface. Several schemes are presented that generate limit surfaces interpolating given boundary curves and cross boundary derivatives. The interpolated boundary curves are arbitrary parametric cu...
