Abstract: It is well known in the literature that the isotropic hardening rule in plasticity is not realistic for handling plastic deformation in a simulation of a full sheet-metal forming process ...

Abstract: This paper presents an in-depth experimental and numerical investigation of a split-ring test, which provides a simple yet effective benchmark for correlating forming and springback predictive ...

Abstract: Model validation has become an increasingly important issue in the decision-making process for model development, as numerical simulations have widely demonstrated their benefits in reducing ...

Abstract: High strength steels (HSSs) are one of the light-weight sheet metals well suited for reducing vehicle weight due to their higher strength-to-weight ratio. However, HSS tend to have bigger ...

Abstract: Single point incremental forming (SPIF) is plagued by an unavoidable and unintended bending in the region of the sheet between the current tool position and the fixture. The effect is a ...
