Steel has been used in vehicles from the automotive industry's inception. Different steel grades are continually being developed in order to satisfy new fuel economy requirements. For example, advanced high ...

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 ...

The aim of this work is to show the influence of defining a pressure dependent friction coefficient onnumerical springback predictions of a DX54D mild steel, a HSLA380 and a DP780 high strength steel. Thepressure dependent ...

The final quality of sheet and tube metal–formed components strongly depends on the tribology and friction conditions between the tools and the material to be formed. Furthermore, it has been recently demonstrated that ...
