Lightweight materials, such as titanium alloys, magnesium alloys, and aluminium alloys, are
characterised by unusual combinations of high strength, corrosion resistance, and low …

Although incremental sheet forming (ISF) is featured with greater flexibility, lower cost, and
shorter leading time, there is less comprehensive sustainability assessment for ISF. In order …

The deformation capacity of foils deteriorates rapidly due to the appearance of size effects.
In this study, the mechanism of ultrasonic vibration affecting the tensile deformation behavior …

Metallic components with surface microfeatures are increasingly used in aerospace,
automotive and other applications due to their drag-reducing properties. In this situation, we …

The size effects on plastic deformation behaviors of metal thin sheets have a profound
impact on the development of microforming process. In this study, the deformation and …

As a novel type of pulsed water jet (PWJ), the pressurized pulsed water jet (PPWJ) shows
great potential in the field of rock fragmentation engineering. In this study, the macro and …

Featured Application The study shown in this manuscript helps to guide the further
application of a wall-climbing robot for the shipbuilding industry. Abstract The shipbuilding …

Nowadays the development of innovative processes is a major challenge for industries
which want to prototype functional workpieces. Incremental sheet forming (ISF) is a good …

In recent years, the application of non-uniform pressure in flexible-die forming, such as
viscous pressure forming and magnetorheological pressure forming, has become …

The plastic deformation of the complex thin-walled components is not uniform. Applying a
non-uniform load can decrease the thickness reduction and improve the thickness …
