Nowadays, the role of light weight materials has grown up in important industries such as aerospace and biomechanics, but before the appliance, their strength should be increased. A modern way to increase this factor along with the lightweight factoris using bimetal sheets, hence, the design of multilayer sheets has been very much considered recently. In this study, explosive welded Cu/St/Cu mu...

The single point incremental forming process is well-known to be perfectly suited for prototyping and small series. One of its fields of applicability is the medicine area for the forming of titanium prostheses or titanium medical implants. However this process is not yet very industrialized, mainly due its geometrical inaccuracy, its not homogeneous thickness distribution... Moreover considera...

Abstract Process-induced residual stresses significantly influence the mechanical properties of a formed component. A polymer pad is used as flexible die in two-point incremental forming to induce compressive component during process. Experimental and numerical results illustrate stress superposition on properties. It shown that active support, using geometry-independent polyurethane die, cause...
