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 …

Sheet metal forming industry widely adopted the forming limit curve (FLC) as a limiting
criterion in sheet metal forming. Regardless of its commercial importance, controlling factors …

Composite metal sheets have found extensive applications thanks to their high corrosion
and wear resistance, as well as greater strength, stiffness, and formability relative to the …

This article presents an experimental research performed on a polycarbonate sheet
deformed by single point incremental forming (SPIF). The analysis is implemented within the …

Localization of plastic strain, also known as necking, is an important failure mechanism of
metals. Although metals are widely used in engineering, it remains unclear how the necking …

The analysis of polymeric sheet materials deformed by means of incremental sheet forming
technologies has recently caught the attention of a number of research groups of the …

The formability of the material determines the amount of available deformation before failure
and thus is important for the production of various structural components in industries. The …

By proposing an adaptation of the methodology usually used in metal forming, this paper
aims to provide a general procedure for determining the forming limits, by necking and …

This paper is focused on the utilisation of double edge notched tension, staggered and
shear tests to determine fracture toughness and the formability limits by fracture in principal …

Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) is a flexible and economic manufacturing process
with a strong potential for manufacturing small and medium batches of highly customized …
