Abstract The trend towards flexible, agile, and resource-efficient production systems requires a continuous development of processes as well tools in the area forming technology. To create load-adjusted weight-optimized tool structures, we present an overview new algorithm-driven design optimization workflow based on mixed-integer linear programming. Loads boundary conditions for mathematical a...

in this work, laser bending of perforated sheets has been investigated numerically. laser bending of perforated sheets is more complicated than non-perforated sheets due to their complex geometries. in this paper, laser bending of perforated sheets is studied numerically in the form of thermo-mechanical analysis with abaqus/implicit code. for this purpose, the effects of process and sheet param...

Abstract Modeling of roll forming process sheet metal requires efficient treatment plastic deformations thin shells and plates. We suggest a new general approach toward constructing the governing equations bending an elastic‐plastic Kirchhoff plate on structural mechanics level. The generic function isotropic hardening law is formulated in terms variables, which are meaningful for material surf...

For ̄ exible manufacture of a doubly curved sheet metal, a new sheet metal forming process is proposed that uses a movable punch set composed of two pairs of lower support punches and one upper centre punch. The process is characterized by ̄ exibility compared with the existing conventional processes because it does not require any complex-shaped die and the loss of material is minimized by unc...

-AISI D3 tool steel is a high-carbon, highchromium, oil-hardening tool steel that is characterized by a relatively high attainable hardness and numerous, large, chromium-rich alloy carbides in the microstructure. These carbides provide good resistance to wear from sliding contact with other metals and abrasive materials. Typical applications for D3 tool steel include Blanking, stamping, and col...

OBJECTIVE Fluorides can cause corrosion and degradation in mechanical properties of commonly used archwires by forming hydrofluoric acid HF and causing disruption of protective titanium oxide layer. Hence, the aim of this study was to assess the change in load deflection characteristics of Ni-Ti, Cu Ni-Ti, S.S, and β-Ti wires on immersing in fluoride mouth rinses of two types- Phosflur and neut...

the most important postharvest disorder of cut gerbera is stem bending disorder, which occurs below the capitulum. stem strength and lignification is one of important phenomenon and causes of gerbera stem bending. therefore, this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of salicylic acid (sa) on phenylalanine ammonia-lyase enzyme activity (pal), as an important enzyme in phenylpropanoid...
