hydroforming process in one of the most effective production method, for improving the drawing ratio in sheet metal forming process. this is due to the fact that in hydroforming process, forming takes place using a punch which drives the part forward via a controlled fluid pressure. in this paper, deep drawing hydroforming for circular punch is investigated. different pressure paths are tested ...

The binder force in sheet metal forming controls the material flow into the die cavity. Maintaining precise material flow characteristics is crucial for producing a high-quality stamped part. Process control can be used to adjust the binder force based on tracking of a reference punch force trajectory to improve part quality and consistency. The purpose of this paper is to present a systematic ...

In this paper, the drawing process of multi-layer sheet metal through wedge shaped die has been analyzed using stream function and upper bound method. Typically a sandwich sheet contains three layers of metal, where the outer layers are of the same thickness and material and different from those of the inner layer. In this study, a new deformation model has been introduced in which inlet and ou...

With the successful development of efficient algorithms for Frequent Subgraph Mining (FSM), this paper extends the scope of subgraph mining by proposing Vertex Unique labelled Subgraph Mining (VULSM). VULSM has a focus on the local properties of a graph and does not require external parameters such as the support threshold used in frequent pattern mining. There are many applications where the m...

Intelligent deep-drawing is an instrumental research field in sheet metal forming. A set of 28 different experimental data have been employed in this paper, investigating the roles of die radius, punch radius, friction coefficients and drawing ratios for axisymmetric workpieces deep drawing. This paper focuses an evolutionary neural network, specifically, error back propagation in collaboration...

In recent years the traditional sheet metal forming processes, suitable for high volume batches, do not correctly meet new market requirements characterised by high flexibility, reduced time-to-market, low cost for small batch production, etc. Moreover, they are not suitable for producing low cost prototypes and pre-series components. Thus new sheet metal forming techniques are very often requi...

High speed and absence of a precise control over pressure distribution confine sheet Electromagnetic Forming into a die to simple shapes having shallow depth. It is possible to reach a higher depth by using a convex punch instead of a concave die. In this study, sheet Electromagnetic Forming on a punch and sheet Electromagnetic Forming into a die are investigated. The electromagnetic part of th...

Bending is the uniform straining of material around a straight axis and is used commonly in various sheet metal industrial products. Since all materials have a finite modulus of elasticity, plastic deformation is followed by some elastic recovery when the load is removed. In bending processes this phenomenon is called springback. Springback occurs not only in flat sheets or plate, but also in b...
