In the automobile industry, bending and hemming processes are normally used to supplement car body panels. However, Forming Limit Curve (FLC) inappropriately induces predict bendability in process as it has a different failure mechanism deformed sheet metals can undergo greater than predicted by FLC. this work, newly developed Bending (BLC) based on strain stress were experimentally numerically...

Failure in sheet metal structures of ductile material is usually caused by one of, or a combination of, ductile fracture, shear fracture or localised instability. In this paper the failure of the high strength steel Docol 600DP and the ultra high strength steel Docol 1200M is explored. The constitutive model used in this study includes plastic anisotropy and mixed isotropic-kinematic hardening....

In this paper, the dynamic behavior of square plates with various thicknesses and stiffening configurations subjected to underwater explosion (UNDEX) are evaluated through a relatively novel approach which is called Incremental Explosive Analysis (IEA). The IEA estimates the different limit-states and deterministic assessment of plats’ behavior, considering uncertainty of loading conditions and...

The single point incremental forming (SPIF) is one of the dieless forming processes which is widely used in the sheet metal forming. The correct selection of the SPIF parameters influences the formability and quality of the product. In the present study, the Gurson-Tvergaard Needleman (GTN) damage model was used for the fracture prediction in the numerical simulation of the SPIF process of alum...

Abstract In this research, a radial basis function artificial neural network (RBF-ANN) model was developed to predict the hot deformation flow curves of API X65 pipeline steel. The results of the developed model was compared with the results of a new phenomenological model that has recently been developed based on a power function of Zener-Hollomon parameter and a third order polynomial functio...
