Aluminum matrix composites known for their superior mechanical properties finds its use as
liners in engine cylinders, discs, drum brakes, and pistons in automotive applications. This …

In recent publications, we have shown that repeated bending and unbending during tension
can significantly increase the percent elongation-to-fracture (ETF) of metallic sheets. A …

The stress relaxation test is a commonly used transient test to determine the deformation
kinetics during plastic deformation. This study reports the time-dependent deformation …

The application of interrupted die motion during the deformation process in a servo press
cycle is known to enhance the forming limit of metallic materials. This observation is …

Cyclic bending under tension (CBT) has been shown to increase room temperature
elongation-to-failure in various sheet metals beyond that of simple tension. A greater …

Servo press forming machines are advanced forming systems that are capable of imparting
interrupted punch motion, resulting in enhanced room temperature formability. The exact …

This paper describes the main results from an experimental investigation into the
consequence of cyclic bending under tension on elongation-to-fracture (ETF) and strength of …

This paper describes results acquired in an investigation into determining the influence of
cyclic-bending-under-tension (CBT) and annealing on improving elongation-to-fracture …

This paper describes a study into the evolution of damage in commercial-purity titanium (CP–
Ti) sheets subjected to cyclic bending under tension (CBT) and uniaxial tension (simple …

In order to analyze the effect of grain size on stress relaxation (SR) mechanism, the SR tests
of TC4 alloy with three kinds of grain size were performed in a temperature range of 650 …
