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 Interaction between the Sheet/Tool Surface Texture and the Friction/Galling Behaviour on Aluminium Deep Drawing Operations
(MDPI, 2021)
The increasing demands for lightweight design in the transport industry have led to an extensive use of lightweight materials such as aluminium alloys. The forming of aluminium sheets however presents significant challenges ...
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 ...
Numerical study of advanced friction modelling for sheet metal forming: influence of the die local roughness
(Elsevier Ltd., 2022)
Numerical simulation of sheet metal forming processes has become indispensable in the last decades. Although the complexity of the frictional behaviour is identified as a key factor for the prediction accuracy, the industry ...
Tool surface texturing by shot peening: initial results and lessons learned
(IOP Publishing, 2024)
Abrasive and adhesive wear is a major issue in sheet metal forming processes. Although different solutions exist to reduce its impact, there is still room for progress. Surface texturing presents a big potential for ...
Dimple prediction modelling in ultrashort laser processing: A benchmark study on ablation threshold determination methods and incubation models
(Elsevier, 2025)
The appropriate selection of ultrashort laser processing parameters is a complex task in which prediction models based on the logarithmic ablation law derived from the Two-Temperature model are commonly used to minimize ...
