Roll forming process is used for manufacturing sheet metal parts by successive bending and creating the final shape with gradual deformation. In this article, deformation of a pre-punched sheet due to the roll forming process was studied. Two main defects in the roll forming process are ovality of holes and bow defect. The ovality of the hole is influenced by the process parameters including sh...

abstracthydroforming process is a deep stretching process only with the difference that a fluid is used instead of the mandrel. this paper investigates the hydroforming process of non-cylindrical and non-spherical geometries using finite element analysis software to calculate the influences of effective process parameters such as the coefficient of friction between the surfaces and the pressure...

Normal mode calculations have been carried out for parallel-chain 8-sheet structures. These include the parallel-chain pleated sheet of poly(L-alanine) and the parallel-chain rippled sheet of polyglycine. Dipole derivative coupling has been included for amide I and I1 modes, and the effects of parallel-sheet and antiparallel-sheet arrangements of varying separation have been examined for the po...

Single point incremental sheet metal forming is a sheet metal forming process that forms products without the complex dies and tools with low cost. In this study, the incremental sheet metal forming process has been experimentally investigated on the explosively-welded Al/Cu bimetal sheets. Also, the effects of process parameters, such as arrangement of layer`s bimetal, tool diameter and tool p...

Regenerated Bombyx mori silk fibers were spun from hexafluoro-isopropanol solution of silk fibroin sponge in methanol used as a coagulant solvent and then elongated in water. The stress-strain curves of the regenerated fibers changed dramatically depending on the draw ratio and the structure was studied by 13C CP/MAS NMR and X-ray diffraction methods. The patterns of 13C CP/MAS NMR spectra of t...

Advanced high strength steels (AHSS) are engineered to have both high strength and enhanced formability characteristics. Yet, the formed components undergo springback due to elastic recovery after removal of the forming tools. This severely affects the dimensional accuracy of the part. Many techniques have been evolved to deal with springback. A simple approach is to design forming tools that c...

in sheet metal forming processes, one-stage production of conical-cylindrical parts with high accuracy is very difficult due to wrinkling and rupturing. hydrodynamic deep drawing assisted by radial pressure is one of the most applicable procedures in sheet hydroforming process on the point of producing conical-cylindrical parts. in this paper, forming pressure path is investigated as one of the...
