In recent years asymmetric cross section aluminum alloy stock has been finding increasing use in various industrial manufacturing areas such as general structures and automotive components. In these areas, components are generally required to have complex curved configuration and, as such, a bending process is required during manufacture. Undesirable deformation in bending processes such as fla...

in this study, first energy absorption of axial and bending loading is considered. next, thin walled structures under oblique loading are investigated using abaqus computer simulation, where 180 different cases are simulated. simulation results of the thin walled structures under oblique loading were compared with the experimental results of nagel, and good agreement was perceived. simulation r...

The freedom in choice of geometries additive manufacturing (AM) favors the use structures with large surface and small cross-section such as lattice thin-walled hollow profiles. On other hand, practices strength testing metals require a certain bulk material to be printed able produce sample test properties. size cross section might influence up 30% decrease for struts was reported literature. ...
