Strain aging in low-carbon steels is a well-known strengthening phenomenon, the typical results of which are an increase in yield stress and/or an increase in the extent of …
This thesis presents a numerical method of predicting both static and dynamic denting phenomena in automotive body panels. The finite element method is used as a predictive …
Dent resistance is an important attribute in the automotive panel design, and the ability to accurately predict a panel's dentability requires careful considerations of sheet metal …
A standardized quasi-static dent test has been used in evaluating the dent resistance of automotive body panels for many years. In order to predict the onset of a visible dent, cyclic …
The dent resistance of an automotive body panel has been used as one of key design parameters for automotive body panels. Quasi-static dent testing procedures have been well …
