Deformation instability is a macroscopic and microscopic phenomenon of non-uniformity
and unstable deformation of materials under stress loading conditions, and it is affected by …

Incremental stretch flanging (ISF) has a more complex deformation process than
conventional incremental forming, resulting in varying forming limits and strain …

The abrupt changes in the customer demands and the need to achieve versatility in
production for satisfying the different needs of consumers have resulted in the development …

Self-piercing riveting formation results in additional straining and property variations of the
sheet material and rivet of the joint. As the riveted forming strain was concentrated within a …

Conventional flanging processes are commonly used in the automotive and aeronautical
industry to provide stiffness or support for further assembly of thin-walled structures …

Flanging is sheet metal forming process which has high-end applications from automobile
industry to aircraft industry. Straight, stretch, shrink and hole-flanging are the variations of …

Multi-layer sheets with combined properties such as a high strength-to-weight ratio, good
corrosion resistance, and desirable electrical and thermal conductivity are employed in …

The main aim of the present study is to analyse the stretch flanging behaviour of the DP steel
sheet using the punch stretching (PS) and incremental sheet forming (ISF) at different …

Ductile fracture always occurs in plastic forming processes of thin-walled metal sheets.
Damage models, both coupled and uncoupled ones, have been extensively developed to …
