Manufacturing of a bumper system from aluminium extrusions often involves series of
forming operations performed in the soft W-temper condition, and then artificially age …

The objective of this thesis work has been to transfer metal forming simulation parameters
(effective plastic strain distribution, thickness and residual stresses) into the crash simulation …

A correct representation of the plastic deformation and failure of individual component parts
is essential to obtaining accurate crashworthiness simulation results. The aim of this paper is …

Stamping processes induce plastic strain and changes in the thickness, shape and
mechanical behaviour of sheet metal parts. Simulated crash tests on vehicles should …

The local mechanical properties eg flow stress and fracture strain in an automotive
component manufactured by deep drawing are inhomogeneous due to different local …

The objective of the research was to perform a comprehensive computational analysis of the
effects of material and process modeling approaches on performance of UltraLight Steel …

On behalf of improvements for crashworthiness simulations, great effort has been done
throughout the past years regarding the treatment of crack formation and propagation …

The simulation of the crash behaviour of whole automotive body structures has gained
increasing value in the development phase of the overall product cycle in the recent years …

The objective of this work is the characterisation and modelling of the influence of triaxiality
and deformation history on the damage behaviour of components manufactured by deep …

The effects of pre-strain on the crushing properties of a crash-box structure are reported for
two Advanced High Strength Steels produced by ArcelorMittal (Dual-Phase DP600 and …
