Forming Limit Diagrams are useful tools for evaluation of formability in the sheet metals. In this paper the effects of yield criteria on predictions of the right and left-hand sides of forming limit diagrams (FLDs) are investigated. In prediction of FLD, Hosford 1979, “Karafillis-Boyce” (K-B) and BBC2000 anisotropy yield functions have been applied. Whereas the prediction of FLD is based on th...

electromagnetic forming is a high energy rate forming process. in this process, an electromagnetic lorentz body force is used for deformation of products. in this article, electromagnetic forming process was simulated for assembly of parts as an innovative method. in this research work, the effect of important parameters of process such as discharge energy, radius and width of rectangular groov...

superplastic materials show a very high ductility. this is due to both peculiar process conditions and material intrinsic characteristics. however, a number of superplastic materials are subjected to cavitation during superplastic deformation. evidently, extensive cavitation imposes significant limitations on their commercial application. the deformation and failure of superplastic sheet metals...

Laser forming is a modern process which is mainly used for forming metals. Different Lasers are used in this regard that includes Nd: YAG and CO2. In this study, forming bi-layer sheets of Aluminum/Ceramic by Laser was investigated. Furthermore, effect of Uniform and Gaussian heat flux distribution in different power, velocity, and beam diameters on bending angle was studied. FEM simulation ind...

The accumulative roll bonding (ARB) as a severe plastic deformation (SPD) procedure aimed at enhancing the mechanical properties of metals and alloys. In the present study, a new slab method is proposed for estimating the forming stress field for cold extrusion of metals cross the alumina interlayer powder particles by accumulative roll bonding process. Plastic deformation behavior of the metal...
