Fibre metal laminates, hybrid composite materials built up from interlaced layers of thin metals and fibre reinforced adhesives, are future-proof used in the production passenger aircraft, yachts, sailplanes, racing cars, sports equipment. The most commercially available fibre–metal laminates carbon aluminium aramid glass laminates. This review emphasises developing technologies for forming met...

In recent years the traditional sheet metal forming processes, suitable for high volume batches, do not correctly meet new market requirements characterised by high flexibility, reduced time-to-market, low cost for small batch production, etc. Moreover, they are not suitable for producing low cost prototypes and pre-series components. Thus new sheet metal forming techniques are very often requi...

In recent years, hydroforming process has been applied in different industries such as aerospace, automotive and military industries due to its advantages, such as high dimensional accuracy, capability of forming complicated parts and high drawing ratio. Hydrodynamic deep drawing with radial pressure is one type of hydroforming process. In this paper, forming of cylindrical cups in hydrodynamic...
