This article is the review of hydroforming technologies that have been used increasingly in
various industries including automotive applications. General concepts and technological …

The objective of the present paper is to incorporate the effect of plastic anisotropy on the
fracture modeling of aluminum alloy 6061-T 6 sheets. Six different types of tests were …

Burst due to internal pressure and axial load is a common mode of failure in tube
hydroforming. Comparison between numerical simulations and hydroforming experiments …

Our recent investigation on the formability of Al alloy tubes under combined internal
pressure and axial load is expanded by examining the effect of the loading path traced. A set …

This paper proposes a methodology to determine the formability limits of thin-walled tubes
and to plot them in principal strain space and in the space of effective strain vs. stress …

Tube hydroforming has been receiving increasing attention, particularly for making
automotive components. In this process, tubular metal pats are formed within a die cavity by …

Identification of material properties in the hoop direction, such as stress–strain behavior, is
essential in tube hydroforming processes. Conventional tests such as uniaxial tension and …

One of the needs of an ongoing study of implosion of underwater aluminum alloy cylinders
see Acknowledgment is to develop constitutive models suitable for modeling their large …

This paper revisits proportional and non-proportional experiments performed earlier by the
authors, with the aim to establish the fracture envelope of the material. The experiments …

The purpose of this work is to establish the forming limit diagram (FLD) for a seamed tube
hydroforming. A new theoretical model is developed to predict the FLD for a seamed tube …
