Abstract: Metal forming through plastic deformation is one of the most efficient, robust, and economical manufacturing processes available to produce products for unique applications at various length scales. ...

Abstract: One of the greatest challenges of manufacturing sheet metal parts is to obtain consistent part dimensions. Springback, the elastic material recovery when the tooling is removed, is the major ...

Abstract: Tailor welded blanks (TWBs) offer several notable benefits including decreased part weight, reduced manufacturing costs, and improved dimensional consistency. However the reduced formability and ...

Abstract: The forming of sheet metal into a desired and functional shape is a process, which requires an understanding of materials, mechanics, and manufacturing principles. Furthermore, producing consistent ...

Abstract: Microextrusion has recently emerged as a feasible manufacturing process to fabricate metallic micropins having characteristic dimensions on the order of less <1mm. At this length scale, the ...
