This high quality reference work has been written and reviewed by members of The
International Academy for Production Engineering, also known as CIRP. This Academy is …

Modelling of metal forming processes is an essential task of production engineering. Due to
the latest technological developments, a huge variety of models is already available and …

The success of a tube hydroforming (THF) process is highly dependent on the loading paths
(axial feed versus pressure) used. Finite element (FE)-based simulation was used to …

The efficiency of a tube hydroforming process is largely dependent on the process control
parameters (ie the internal pressure and the axial feeding) since they determine the …

This work presents a framework for interfacing a reinforcement learning algorithm with a
finite element model in order to develop an artificial neural network controller. The goal of …

In order to investigate the wrinkling behavior of thin-walled tubes under complex stress
states, a dedicated experimental setup was designed and manufactured. In this …

In order to successfully develop a new tube hydroforming (THF) process, a system approach
is recommended. Problems and improvements in each area of the THF technology and their …

An analytical model for planar tube hydroforming based on deformation theory has been
developed. This analytical model can be used to predict hydroformed shape, corner fill, wall …
