The application of the ductile fracture criteria for the prediction of the forming limit diagram
(FLD) of sheet metal was investigated. The limit strains for the FLD were determined by …

Automotive industries are very much interested in formability of different pre-strained
aluminum alloy sheets in the context of multistage stamping to fabricate complex …

The warm formability of three sheet magnesium alloys was measured using the OSU
formability test adapted for testing at elevated temperatures under isothermal conditions …

The automotive industry is a prominent user of tailor-welded blanks (TWBs) for sheet metal
components, as they offer numerous advantages such as weight reduction, cost savings …

Testing of sheet metal formability has been a long-standing challenge because variability in
test procedures and testing machines can mask material variations. In spite of the …

The manufacturing industries are keen on understanding the effect of weld line orientation
on the formability characteristics of tailor-welded blanks (TWBs) with sheets for the design …

In incremental sheet forming, a hemispherical tool deforms a sheet moving along a
predefined path. The process, useful for making prototypes or small series, is characterized …

This paper evaluates different parameters affecting sheet metal forming and examines some
experimental procedures by using standard tension test, u-notched tension test and clip-on …

Multifunctionality and the demand for improving the properties of construction materials
make it necessary to use hybrid systems, such as combinations of metals with polymers. In …

Nowadays, magnesium alloys materials are more and more utilised in transportation
industry in order to reduce the vehicles mass, and thus to minimize air pollution and fuel …
