The effect of stress state and loading path on the ductile fracture of aluminum 2024-T351 is
characterized through tension–torsion experiments on tubular specimens. The experimental …

This article is the review of hydroforming technologies that have been used increasingly in
various industries including automotive applications. General concepts and technological …

Sheet metal forming, crushing simulations of thin-walled structures, and other large
deformation processes require knowledge of the material stress–strain behavior to large …

Correctly determining the onset of fracture is crucial when performing mechanical
experiments. Commonly carried out by visual inspection, here an image-based machine …

The anisotropic plastic flow and ductile fracture of AA6013 aluminum sheet is investigated
under quasistatic conditions. The plasticity of the material is probed through uniaxial tension …

The aim of this paper is to establish the extent to which materials can be deformed under
shear-dominant loadings. Custom Al-6061-T6 tubular specimens are loaded under radial …

The implosion of an underwater structure is a dynamic event caused by the ambient external
pressure. It produces a short duration pressure pulse that radiates outwards and can …

We investigate the mechanics of the Ring Hoop Tension Test (RHTT), as a means to assess
the properties of anisotropic tubes in the hoop direction. This test involves placing a ring …

The plastic behavior of commercially-pure titanium (CP-Ti) is assessed using a combination
of experiments and analysis. A total of 23 (with three repetitions each) experiments were …

Recent work on ductile failure under shear-dominant stress states has challenged the long-
accepted premise that the strain at failure monotonically decreases with increasing …
