Lightweight sheet metals are attractive for aerospace and automotive applications due to
their exceptional properties, such as low density and high strength. Sheet metal forming …

This paper presents a historical perspective on the development of the model that was
initially proposed by Prof. Marciniak in 1965 for calculating the Forming Limit Curves (FLC's) …

Abstract Hetero-deformation-induced (HDI) strengthening mechanism has been well
investigated in heterostructured materials including layered/gradient materials prepared by …

A systematic constitutive modeling and calibration methodology were developed based on
rate-independent crystal plasticity to predict the quasi static macroscopic behavior of 3rd …

Materials design calls for an optimal exploration and exploitation of the process-structure-
property (PSP) relationships to produce materials with targeted properties. Recently, we …

The crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE) method was used to predict forming limit strains
of hexagonal close‒packed (HCP) polycrystalline magnesium alloy sheets, namely AZ31 …

Abstract Forming Limit Diagrams (FLDs) of 0.1 and 1 mm thick ultra-thin ferritic stainless
steel (FSS) sheets are predicted using a combination of the crystal plasticity finite element …

The focus of goal-oriented materials design is to find the necessary chemistry/processing
conditions to achieve the desired properties. In this setting, a material's microstructure is …

Materials design calls for the (inverse) exploitation of Process-Structure-Property (PSP)
relationships to produce materials with targeted properties. Unfortunately, most materials …

Ductile fracture involving nucleation, growth and coalescence of microscale voids limits the
performance, safety, reliability and manufacturability of a variety of metallic components and …
