A finite element simulation of flexible bulge forming of aluminum sheet metal is carried out.
The effect of rubber pad on forming capability is studied by comparing flexible bulge to …

Bulge forming is a manufacturing process that is becoming increasingly important as a
technology that can be used to produce seamless, lightweight and near-net-shape industrial …

A novel tube bending method has been developed to form an elbow section from a straight
tube using internal pressure and a rigid die. The process uses the rigid die to guide the tube …

Many industrial components, such as axle casings, metal bellows, stepped hollow shafts,
etc., are manufactured by axisymmetrically bulging metal tubes. Experimental studies have …

In a metal working process, the friction between the material and the tools influences the
process by modifying the strain distribution of the workpiece. From a numerical point of view …

Successful fuel filler tube hydroforming largely depends on proper loading paths, that is,
application of internal pressure and axial feeding during the forming time duration …
