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 ...

he increase in strength of new high strength steels(HHS) and advanced high strength steels (AHHS) has led toforming issues, such as high springback, low formability, increase of forming forces and tool wear. These problems ...

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 ...

Elasto–plastic behavior of the third generation Fortiform 1050 steel has been analysed using cyclic tension–compression tests. At the same time, the pseudo elastic modulus evolution with plastic strain was analysed using ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
