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 ...

Precision metalforming processes involve complex and strong interactions between the workpiece (material and shape) and forming equipment, as well as lubrication, temperature, and other manufacturing ...

Novel semiconductor technologies are creating complex process flows, which are needed to support the manufacturing of advanced 3D semiconductor structures. It can be helpful to model process flows, ...

Short cycle times and automated methods are key to meeting the high production rates being sought for the next generation of narrowbody commercial aircraft, advanced air mobility (AAM), unmanned ...

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 ...

However, for a statement on the properties of the final component, the local material properties, such as resin/matrix composition, pore content, fibre content, distribution and orientation, are ...
