Abstract: The stamping of fiber metal laminates (FMLs) at thermoforming temperature of the thermoplastic matrix is investigated. The studied FML types consist of a unidirectional carbon fiber-reinforced core that is attached to metal ...

Abstract: Increasing demands in profile manufacturing leads to a constant increase of the geometric complexity of the profile. Nowadays, lightweight design and load adaption are of huge importance and a need for new profile manufacturing ...

Abstract: Modern lightweight concept structures are increasingly composed of several dissimilar materials. Due to the different material properties of the joining partners, conventional and widely used joining techniques often reach ...
