After years of largely academic interest and niche applications, a new generation of high
duty CNC machines is enabling the flow forming process find increasing application in …

Due to the lack of load/displacement sensors in a complex and uncertain crash test/accident
of rail vehicles (eg, vehicle-to-vehicle or train-to-train collision), only structural deformation …

This paper presents a novel framework for predicting the crashworthiness of a square cone
energy-absorbing (SCEA) structure using a machine-learning method. The structure …

After years of pure academic interest and niche applications, today the flow forming process
is growing in its importance in the forming industry, due to increasing demand in aerospace …

Flow forming is a plastic deformation process to produce thin-walled and high-precision
cylindrical components. In this study, the hot flow forming of Mg–8.5 Al–0.5 Zn–0.2 Mn …

Flow forming is a cold working process that makes it possible to produce high-precision thin-
walled rotational symmetric parts leading to increased mechanical properties. The backward …

In the present work, aluminium alloys were subjected to two different severe plastic
deformation (SPD) routes namely, cryorolling (CYR) and constrained groove pressing …

To solve the problem that the rib filling height is low in the traditional spinning forming (TSF)
of ribbed component, a new spinning-extrusion forming technology (SEF) was proposed. A …

Flow forming is an old, but still promising, sheet metal forming technique to produce thin-
walled, high-precision cylindrical auto-components (ie carriers and clutch housings). In the …

Honeycomb is widely used because of its excellent energy absorption characteristics during
compression. However, offset defects in the manufacturing process are inevitable and affect …
