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 ...

During the forming and manufacturing of engineering materials, plasticity behavior could be evolving significantly due to complex deformation history. Therefore, this study aims to characterize the plasticity evolution of ...

Modeling the elastic behavior of dual-phase steels is complex due to the strain dependency of Young's modulus and high elastic nonlinearity. Since it is assumed that reasons for this are to be found in microstructural ...

Aluminium alloys are one of the most efficient materials for weight reduction in the car industry. However, the favourable performance of alloys conflicts with the difficulties of transforming these materials through plastic ...
