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 influence of the kinematic hardening on the FEM simulation of Tension Levelling Process
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020)
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 ...
Drawbead uplift force analytical model for deep drawing operations
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2018)
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 ...
Experimental and Numerical Simulation Investigation on Deep Drawing Process of Inconel 718 with and without Intermediate Annealing Thermal Treatments
(MDPI AG, 2020)
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 ...
On the accurate characterization of the drawbead up-lift forces
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2018)
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 ...
A review of the effects of cyclic contact loading on fretting fatigue behaviour
(Sage Publishing Ltd., 2020)
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 ...
Hardening prediction of diverse materials using the Digital Image Correlation technique
(Elsevier, 2018)
In recent years, due to the introduction of higher resistance materials in the automotive sector, sheet metal-forming tool-makers have been forced to deal with more challenging process designs. Therefore, the optimisation ...
Post-forming, electro-plastic effect internal stress reduction in AA5754 aluminium alloy
(Elsevier, 2022)
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 ...
Plasticity evolution of an aluminum-magnesium alloy under abrupt strain path changes
(Springer, 2022)
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 ...
