The elastic behaviour of TRIP 700 steel under plastic deformation is analysed. The analysis
is carried out by means of classical tensile test and loading–unloading cyclic tests. These …

It has been widely observed that the loading/unloading behavior of metals which have
previously undergone plastic deformation is nonlinear. Furthermore it shows a hysteresis …

The evolution of the mechanical properties of a dual-phase (DP590) steel sheet after being
prestrained by uniaxial tension, plane strain and equal biaxial stretching was investigated …

Automotive die spotting is one of the most complex and least standardized processes in the
tool making process. A spotting expert identifies local contact areas through a blue-paste …

This study investigated the mechanical properties of zinc-5% aluminium-mixed mischmetal
alloy-coated steel strand cables (MC cables) and internal steel wires under cyclic loading …

Effective prediction of springback during sheet metal forming is critically important for
automotive and aerospace industries, especially when forming metals with high strength-to …

In this paper the effects of crystallographic texture and microstructure on the elastic modulus
of different grades of steel have been collected from the available literature and put in one …

To have fuel efficient vehicles with a lightweight structure, the use of High Strength Steels
(HSS) and Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) in the body of automobiles is increasing …

An elastic modulus model is proposed to describe the phenomenon of the material's elastic
modulus varying with plastic strain. This elastic modulus model is theoretically interpreted …

The finite element simulation has become an essential tool for the proper design of big size
automotive components stamping tooling and their process optimization. Although big …
