Based on the identification of a new multimethod tool necessity, a new tool called Eyeface has been created by combining two different devices: the Eye-tracking and the Facereader. This research work analyses a new multimethod ...

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 elastic behaviour of TRIP 700 steel under plastic deformation is analysed. The analysis is carried out by means of classical tensile test and loading–unloading cyclic tests. These tests have been performed using high ...

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 ...

Drawbead uplift force calculation has been an open issue among the deep drawing tool maker and software developers in the last years. Starting from the original work of Stoughton (1988) many have been the models presented ...

In the current context of resource scarcity, global climate change, environmental degradation, and increasing food demand, the circular economy (CE) represents a promising strategy for supporting sustainable, restorative, ...

A sensorless online temperature estimator is presented in this paper, which estimates the temperature using a novel signal injection strategy. This allows to eliminate the temperature sensors in the machine, as well as ...

More and more companies are integrating the experience design into their development process. This new approach allows to develop new products and services, based on user's emotions and motivations. In order to advance in ...

The hybridisation of wind farms (HWF) through the implementation of multiple renewable energy production, storage and distribution technologies can optimise the performance and efficiency of the entire renewable energy ...

Material formability has become one of the main problems, together with the springback, when stamping high added-value components for the automotive industry. The pursuit of weight reduction has led to higher strength ...
