Optimum Tailor-welded Blank Design Using Deformation Path Length of Boundary Nodes
author
Abstract:
In this paper, the optimum shape of Tailor-Welded Blanks (TWB) is investigated. The optimization is performed for two different case studies. The first example is deep drawing of a TWB with dissimilar materials and uniform thicknesses and the next example is deep drawing of a TWB with similar materials and non-uniform thicknesses. The effect of blank optimization on the weld line movement is investigated. Also the effect of weld line location on the blank optimization and weld line movement is examined.

full textA Novel Approach for Formability Prediction of Tailor Welded Blank
Formability of Tailor Welded Blank (TWB) is an important parameter which limits this kind of blanks usage. A forming criterion for tailor welded blank is presented based on the analytical model in this research. This criterion suggests Limit Strength Ratio (LSR) and Limit Thickness Ratio (LTR) for forming limit of TWB. When thickness ratio or strength ratio in tailor welded blank is greater tha...
full textFinite element analysis of tailor-welded blanks
A typical tailor-welded blank (TWB) is composed of several base metals, which might have di!erent mechanical properties as well as thickness. Moreover, a TWB contains a heat-a!ected zone (HAZ) which has quite di!erent mechanical properties from base materials. The forming behaviors of TWBs have been widely studied since they were "rst developed as a way of using collectible o!al. They are often...
full textOn Blank Nodes
Blank nodes are defined in RDF as ‘existential variables’ in the same way that has been used before in mathematical logic. However, evidence suggests that actual usage of RDF does not follow this definition. In this paper we thoroughly cover the issue of blank nodes, from incomplete information in database theory, over different treatments of blank nodes across the W3C stack of RDFrelated stand...
full textLightweight design of vehicle structure with tailor rolled blank under crashworthiness
Unlike existing uniform thickness structures, tailor rolled blank (TRB) which allows continuous metal thickness charges has been recently gaining comprehensive attention due to its excellent lightweight potential. The aim of this study is to combine the advantages of the TRB manufacturing technology with the structural optimization methodology to design the front longitudinal beam under impact ...
