This article aims to list the main sustainable practices developed in the processes of metal
forming, casting, heat treatment, welding and electrostatic painting. When analysed the …

The paper on the UNOS Liver Allocation Model (ULAM) describes the building of a
simulation model that supports policy evaluation for a national medical problem. The …

This paper presents a numerical method for simultaneous optimization of blank shape and
forming tool geometry in three-dimensional sheet metal forming operations. The proposed …

The present study aims to determine the optimum blank shape design for deep drawing of
arbitrary shaped cups with a uniform trim allowance at the flange, ie, cups without ears. The …

This paper proposes an inverse isogeometric analysis to estimate the blank and predict the
strain distribution in sheet metal forming processes. In this study, the same NURBS basis …

The initial blank in the deep drawing process has a simple shape. After drawing, its
perimeter shape becomes very complex. If the initial blank shape is designed in such a way …

A linear inverse finite element method has been developed and investigated to predict the
optimum blank. To reduce the computation time, the part is unfolded properly on the flat …

In this work, we have derived a constitutive law describing the elasto-plastic response of
tungsten by applying an inverse finite element analysis (IFEA) to grasp the deformation well …

Different approaches for blank shape optimization are reported in the literature. These
include numerical iteration based algorithms, slip line field and inverse approach methods …

The aim of this article is to propose an algorithm to predict the initial blank shape from the
desired part in the sheet metal forming process. The algorithm is based on iterative finite …
