Fibre metal laminates, hybrid composite materials built up from interlaced layers of thin
metals and fibre reinforced adhesives, are future-proof materials used in the production of …

Sheet metal forming (SMF) is one of the most popular technologies for obtaining finished
products in almost every sector of industrial production, especially in the aircraft, automotive …

Due to a favourable strength-to-density ratio, aluminium and its alloys are increasingly used
in the automotive, aviation and space industries for the fabrication of skins and other …

Incremental stretch flanging (ISF) has a more complex deformation process than
conventional incremental forming, resulting in varying forming limits and strain …

Traditionally the fracture in sheet metal forming is characterized by the fracture forming limit
(FFL) curve typically obtained by using conventional Nakajima tests. This curve is implicitly …

Flanging is a forming process that is commonly used in many high technology industrial
applications such as the manufacturing of thin-walled aircraft structures as wing ribs that are …

Magnesium alloys have gained interest in biomedical applications due to the mechanical
properties (very similar to the human bones) and the capability to be absorbed (additional …

Single point incremental forming (SPIF) is an emerging process that is well-known to be
suited for fabrication in small series production. The aim of this paper was to determine the …

This paper explores the development and application of the incremental forming process, an
