Hydroforming is a relatively new metal forming process with many advantages over
traditional cold forming processes including the ability to create more complicated …

Sheet metal forming industry widely adopted the forming limit curve (FLC) as a limiting
criterion in sheet metal forming. Regardless of its commercial importance, controlling factors …

Advancing in the process of extending the use of composites for structural parts applications,
it is inevitable to work on complex shapes. That is the main reason why understanding the …

The ductile failure of sheet metals in micro/mesoscale plastic deformation is influenced by
grain and geometry size effects. Based on the forming limit experiments of copper sheet …

The objectives of this work are to describe the nucleation and growth of voids in DP600 dual
phase steel sheets formed along different strain paths, and to investigate the correlation …

This paper presents a fast and reliable method for failure prediction of coarsely meshed
shell structures. The method is especially relevant when investigating the impact …

Abstract Experimental Forming Limit Curve (FLC) and tensile properties of various steel
grades are collected from literatures to validate the proposed model. The experimental …

In sheet metal forming processes, formability is a critical material property that needs to be
estimated before the production of forming parts. Some popular tools used in the literature to …

Abstract The Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) is a conventional failure diagram to estimate
necking limits of sheet metal for proportional loading conditions. Previous studies reveal that …

A novel wrinkling limit representation following the pattern of the conventional forming limit
curves (FLCs) and the stress-based forming limit curves (SFLCs) as well as the application …
