Longitudinal bowing defect (LBD) is commonly produced during the continuous roll forming of materials, which directly affects the quality of the formed products. The ...

Traditional sheet metal forming practices required lots of physical force and effort to ensure that a sheet conformed to the shape that an engineer, or designer, desired. This work translated into the ...

Sheet metal forming encompasses a suite of manufacturing techniques—such as deep drawing, stamping, hydroforming, bending and stretch forming—that transform flat metal blanks into complex ...

In order to improve the forming quality, it is vital to understand the mechanisms that cause the plastic strain localization which eventually leads to ductile damage occurrence in the incremental ...

Deformation processes transform solid materials from one shape into another. The initial shape is usually simple (e.g., a billet or sheet blank) and is plastically deformed between tools, or dies, to ...

The high correlation between the PAM-STAMP simulation (on the left) and the 3D scanned manufactured part (on the right) demonstrates the accuracy of PAM-STAMP. (Image courtesy of Aethra.) Engineers ...

Sheet forming differs from bulk forming in several respects. In sheet forming, tension predominates, whereas bulk forming operations are predominately compressive. In sheet forming operations at least ...
