The design of multi stage deep drawing processes requires the evaluation of many process parameters such as the intermediate die geometry, the blank shape, the sheet thickness, the blank holder force, friction, lubrication etc..These process parameters have to be determined for the optimum forming conditions before the process design. In general sheet metal forming may involve stretching drawin...

Abstract The Swift cup drawing test has been adopted for evaluating sheet metal deformation properties, namely the material formability assessed through limiting ratio. Since strain path of points located on flange is between uniaxial compression and pure shear, this region subjected to thickening. If thickness drawn larger than gap punch die, wall ironing will occur. Therefore, forces can lead...

In this work, the initial anisotropy and its evolution with strain, hardening and rupture of DC04 mild steel are characterized by using (i) a phenomenological constitutive model composed by the non-quadratic Yld2004-18p yield criterion combined with an isotropic hardening law and (ii) a macroscopic rupture criterion. For this purpose, an inverse methodology of material parameters identification...

Background and purpose - The use of a cemented cup together with an uncemented stem in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has become popular in Norway and Sweden during the last decade. The results of this prosthetic concept, reverse hybrid THA, have been sparsely described. The Nordic Arthroplasty Register Association (NARA) has already published 2 papers describing results of reverse hybrid THAs in...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Reverse hybrid hip replacement uses a cemented all-polyethylene cup and an uncemented stem. Despite increasing use of this method in Scandinavia, there has been very little documentation of results. We have therefore analyzed the results from the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register (NAR), with up to 10 years of follow-up. PATIENTS AND METHODS The NAR has been collecting dat...

hydromechanical deep drawing (hdd) is one of the most convenient processes in which a sheet metal is drawn against a counter pressure rather than a rigid die in conventional stampings. this process has been increasingly used to produce aerospace and automotive components. more recently, aerospace industry is demanding new materials with capability to produce high strength to weight ratio produc...

The present study investigated how children learn that some verbs may appear in the figure-locative but not the ground-locative construction (e.g., Lisa poured water into the cup; *Lisa poured the cup with water), with some showing the opposite pattern (e.g., *Bart filled water into the cup; Bart filled the cup with water), and others appearing in both (Lisa sprayed water onto the flowers; Lisa...
