Machine learning models are built to predict the strain values for which edge cracking occurs in hole expansion tests. The samples from this test play role of sheet metal components be manufactured, often associated with a uniaxial tension stress state at critical edges components. For construction models, dataset was obtained experimentally rolled ferritic carbon steel sheets different qualiti...

because of high strength to weight ratio, 6061 aluminum has many applications in different industries like automotive and aerospace industries and can help to reduction of fuel consumption. forming limit diagram (fld) is a useful method for sheet metal formability identification. whereas calculation of forming limit diagram by experimental tests is expensive and time consumption, in the present...

On the ground of manufacturing, sheet metal parts play a key role as they cover about half of the production processes. Sheet metals are commonly obtained from rolling and forming processes which causes misalignment of micro structure resulting obvious anisotropic characteristics and micro cracks. Presence of micro cracks poses serious attention, when stresses at the tip reach to the critical v...

A classification framework for identifying correlations between 3D surfaces in the context of sheet metal forming, especially Asymmetric Incremental Sheet Forming (AISF), is described. The objective is to predict “springback”, the deformation that results as a consequence of the application of a sheet metal forming processes. Central to the framework there are two proposed mechanisms to represe...

Tailor-made blanks are sheet metal assemblies with different thicknesses and/or materials and/or surface coatings. A monolithic sheet can be machined to make the required thickness variations that is referred as tailor machined blanks. Due to the thickness variation in tailor machined blanks, laser bending of these blanks is more complicated than monolithic plates. In this article, laser formin...

Asymmetric Incremental Sheet Forming (AISF) is a relatively new manufacturing process. In AISF, a CNC driven forming tool imposes a localized plastic deformation as it moves along the contour of the desired part. Thus, the final shape is obtained by a sequence of localized plastic deformations. AISF is suitable for small series production of sheet metal parts as needed in aeronautical and medic...
