Sensitivity analysis on an AC600 aluminum skin component
(IOP, 2016)
New materials are been introduced on the car body in order to reduce weight and fulfil the international CO2 emission regulations. Among them, the application of aluminum alloys is increasing for skin panels. Even if these ...
A coupled 3D wear and fatigue numerical procedure: Application to fretting problems in ultra-high strength steel wires
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021)
This work presents a coupled 3D wear and fatigue numerical procedure for fretting problems in ultra-high strength steel wires that combines Archard’s wear equation with the Smith–Watson–Topper parameter to predict crack ...
Towards the automation of the die spotting process: Contact blue pattern decryption
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020)
Automotive die spotting is one of the most complex and least standardized processes in the tool making process. A spotting expert identifies local contact areas through a blue-paste pattern and the die/sheet contact is ...
The influence of the kinematic hardening on the FEM simulation of Tension Levelling Process
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020)
Tension levelling is used in the steel industry to remove shape defects present in cold rolled strip. This technology is increasingly being employed by steel makers to level AHSS steels, because conventional roll levelers ...

The aeronautical industry is moving from high-capacity large-airplane construction to low-capacity small-airplane construction. With the change in the production volume, there is a need for more e cient manufacturing ...
On the accurate characterization of the drawbead up-lift forces
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2018)
The competitiveness of the automotive sector has led to a high demand of accuracy and reduction in lead-time of the deep drawing tool making process. In that regard, the numerical simulation of the deep drawing process has ...
A review of the effects of cyclic contact loading on fretting fatigue behaviour
(Sage Publishing Ltd., 2020)
A damage phenomenon called fretting fatigue frequently takes place when two contact bodies are clamped together under a normal contact load along with a small-scale oscillatory motion due to cyclic loading. In contrast to ...
Hardening prediction of diverse materials using the Digital Image Correlation technique
(Elsevier, 2018)
In recent years, due to the introduction of higher resistance materials in the automotive sector, sheet metal-forming tool-makers have been forced to deal with more challenging process designs. Therefore, the optimisation ...
Contact pressure, sliding velocity and viscosity dependent friction behavior of lubricants used in tube hydroforming processes
(2021)
The final quality of sheet and tube metal formed components strongly depends of the tribology and friction conditions between the tools and the material to be formed. Furthermore, it has been recently demonstrated that ...
Contact pressure and sliding velocity ranges in sheet metal forming simulations
(2021)
In the last few years many efforts have been carried out in order to better understand what the real contact between material and tools is. Based on the better understanding new friction models have been developed which ...
Characterization of Ti64 forging friction factor using ceramic coatings and different contact conditions
(Elsevier, 2017)
Hot forging processes are highly influenced by the contact conditions between the billet and the dies. A wrong definition of the contact conditions may lead to wrong predictions of the final component geometry, the quantity ...
Initiation of dynamic recrystallization of as-cast N08028 alloy
