In this paper, we performed a strain localization analysis for single crystals and polycrystals, with the specific aim of establishing a link between the microstructure-related parameters and ductility. To this end, advanced large-strain elastic–plastic single crystal constitutive modeling is adopted, accounting for the key physical mechanisms that are relevant at the microscale, such as disloc...

This paper refers to some simulation tests concerning the formability and springback of a U-shaped part manufactured from tailor welded stripes. The final geometry of the obtained part is seriously affected by springback phenomenon. This paper work is trying to prove out the important role samples dimension has on the springback phenomenon. The influence of the samples width on the tailor welde...

In the case shown here, skeletal plates in the zygomatic buttress allowed us to transmit orthodontic forces from the molars to the maxilla for posterior vertical intrusion. This article will examine the orthodontic mechanics needed to control the ratio of the moment of couple (MC) to the moment of force (MF) and the load-deflection ratio, working within the range, strength, and formability of t...

Aluminum and magnesium alloys are of materials for decreasing vehicle weight and consequently reducing fuel consumption. However, forming limitations regarding their low formability at room temperature are found when being manufactured by conventional forming processes. For this reason, development of new forming techniques, such as warm tube hydroforming, is needed to overcome such limitations...

two-layer metallic sheets have wide applications in aerospace, marine, automotive and domestic industries due to their superlative characteristics. in this paper, the formability of two-layer sheet is investigated through analytical, experimental and numerical approaches. an analytical model is developed based on marciniak-kuczynski method associated hill’s non-quadratic yield criterion. formin...

In literature the influence of curvature on formability has been reported. This paper shows results for four materials when an FLC is measured with increasing curvature. It shows the FLC increases for sharper curvature most notably with 20 [mm] tool diameter. The increase is negligible on the left hand side, moderate on the right hand side and large on the plane strain axis. It is thought that ...

The locking compression plate fixation treatment for the unstable sacral fractures is simple and effective, with less trauma and complications. Some locking compression plate parts have been made of high-strength Plate manufactured by hot stamping process since the demand for lightweight biomedical materials. Finite Element (FE) method of One-Step inverse forming based on deformation theory is ...

In search for new manufacturing process, Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) emerged to be one of the useful processes for forming complicated shapes. This is a flexible forming process which eliminates the die, punch and errors due to them. It is widely used for batch production of different shapes which has applications in diverse fields like automobile, aerospace, medical industry, packa...

Because of the need for weight reduction in transport industry, in order to save energy as well as to reduce CO2-emission, the use of light weight aluminium sheet is taken increasingly into consideration [1]. But although aluminium is lighter than steel, the formability is less, hence press operations are often more critical. Alloys used are typically 5xxx alloys for inner panels because of the...
