A novel experimental method, dubbed the “Mode I Caiman test”, is introduced to characterize spot weld failure and propagation within spot weld groups. The test …
The effect of tailoring of hot stamped components is investigated, specifically the introduction of a tailored (locally softened) flange within an otherwise martensitic hot formed side impact …
This thesis investigates the effect of tailoring the properties of a hot stamped axial crush rail consisting of a top hat cross-section on its crash response. The tailored hot stamping (THS) …
This thesis investigates the axial crush performance of hot stamped tailor-welded blanks (TWBs) and their potential for weight reduction in the front crush structure of a vehicle. A …
This thesis investigates the application of hot stamped ultra-high strength steel (greater than 1000 MPa tensile strength) tailor-welded blanks in vehicle frontal crash energy management …
In this research, two different 1800 MPa grades of press-hardening steel were investigated; one with 0.30 wt% and the other 0.32 wt% of Carbon. The suitability of an austenite …
