In this article, the effect of different yield functions on prediction of forming limit curve (FLC) for aluminum sheet is studied. Due to importance of FLC in sheet metal forming, concentration on effective parameters must be considered exactly in order to have better theoretical prediction comparing experimental results. Yield function is one of the factors which are improved by adding new coe...

Abstract Is Russia a neoimperial or postimperial state? In this paper, I compare two interpretations proposed by political commentators Marcel Van Herpen and Dmitri Trenin. holds that the Russian empire is literally being rebuilt, whereas Trenin believes just ceasing to be an empire. argue that, contrary popular belief, current war against Ukraine cannot interpreted as attempt restore This beca...

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...

Two-layer metallic sheets have wide applications in various industries due to their superlative characteristics. This paper presents analytical model to investigate the formability of two-layer sheets based on Marciniak and Kuckzinsky (M-K) method using Barlat and Lian non-quadratic yield criterion. FEM simulation is also performed to calculate the forming limits based on bifurcation theory. Fo...

The forming limit diagram (FLD) is a widely used tool to assess the formability of metal sheet [1]. current study aims investigate influence strain rate, material anisotropy and hardening on FLD Ti-6Al-4V predicted by well-known Marciniak-Kuczynski (M-K) method. tensile data quasi-static (8 10 -5 s -1 ), intermediate (0.5 ) dynamic experiments (approximately 1000 are available at three differen...

Abstract The forming limit diagram (FLD) of high-purity niobium sheets used for the manufacturing superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cavities is presented. Marciniak (in-plane) test was with blanks a thickness 1 mm and blank carriers annealed oxygen-free electronic (OFE) copper. A high formability measured, an approximate true major strain at necking plane 0.44. likely caused by its rate sens...

Asymmetric rolling (ASR) is a method to manufacture sheet metals with the aim of improving material performance. The objective present work investigate effect asymmetric on an aluminum alloy used in automotive industry. To this end, three parameters process were studied, namely asymmetry factor (1, symmetric (SR) and 1.36, (AR)), thickness reduction per pass (10%, 15%, 30%), routes (asymmetric ...
