Abstract: The finite-element method (FEM) has been used to numerically investigate the effect of work roll configuration on the leveling effectiveness of tail-up bent plates. Leveling is a process used to minimize shape defects, ...

Abstract: A crossbow is one of the shape defects caused by width differences between the top and bottom plate surfaces. To improve the plate flatness, leveling must be performed to flatten the crossbowed plate prior to the second ...

Abstract: Tadeusz Rut (TR) forging is a widely used forging method to create heavy, solid crankshafts for marine or power-generating engines. The preform of a TR forging is forged into a crank throw by simultaneously applying both ...

Abstract: Metal–plastic composite tubular structures that combine the high strength and stiffness of metallic tubes with the lightweight and flexible properties of plastic tubes, exhibit considerable potential to provide lightweight ...

Abstract: A crossbow is one of the shape defects caused by width differences between the top and bottom plate surfaces. To improve the plate flatness, leveling must be performed to flatten the crossbowed plate prior to the second ...
