In this study, the performance of conventional and advanced constitutive models to the
prediction of springback for ultra-high strength steel was assessed. The elasto-plastic …

In this study, the recently developed distortional plasticity model (HAH 20) was applied to
EDDQ and TRIP steel sheets to account for hardening fluctuations induced by loading path …

In this study, the heterogeneous strengthening behavior in shear deformation was
experimentally characterized and numerically modeled for the first time. Uniaxial tensile and …

Although numerous models have been proposed to describe the strength differential (SD)
effect, their appropriateness and efficiency in the case of advanced high strength steel …

In this study, fracture of martensitic steel in hole expansion and stretch bending was
predicted by finite element analysis with shell elements. Various mechanical experiments …

In forming processes, the material undergoes large and complex deformations that influence
the shape and properties of the final component. Especially the local weakening of the …

This study investigated the effects of electropulsing treatment (EPT) condition on the
microstructure and microhardness of cold-rolled Grade 2 Ti sheet. Particular attention was …

Rotary bending springback (RBS) is a key problem in the bar roll straightening process.
Existing analytical methods ignore strain paths, and simplify RBS to in-plane reciprocating …
