Optical measuring systems provide much more detail on the deformation of the blank in the
bulge test than classical mechanical measuring systems. Within the practical limitations of …

This study employs the hydraulic bulge test in combination with analysis to extract the stress–
strain response of an anisotropic Al-6022-T43 sheet metal. Tests are performed in a facility …

The hydraulic bulge test provides a means for testing sheet metal under a nearly equibiaxial
stress state. Failure is delayed, allowing measurement of the material response at …

Hydraulic bulge test represents nowadays an important means to obtain higher accuracy on
material characterization. One reason is the possibility of using the obtained biaxial stress …

Single point incremental forming (SPIF) has several advantages over conventional sheet
forming process, but due to its inherent drawbacks such as localized thinning, poor …

An inverse identification strategy is proposed to characterize the hardening behaviour of
metal sheets up to high strains, regardless of the material anisotropy. The Levenberg …

The main purpose of the present work is to measure the stress–strain behavior under warm
conditions (about 100° C) of advanced high strength steel (AHSS) sheets up to large strains …

The hydraulic circular and elliptical bulge tests have been widely used in extracting
mechanical properties of sheet materials. Theoretical analysis of bulge tests usually requires …

The procedures for obtaining the stress vs. strain curve from the circular bulge test are
investigated in detail resorting to finite element analysis. Particular attention is given to in …

The hydroforming process is used widely across many industrial fields. High applied
pressure during hydroforming makes it necessary to consider the influence of the through …
