production and preparation of many parts of the aircraft body including wings with long length, smooth form, and large radius of curvature are amongst the most important challenges in this industry. in this paper, the effective factors in the rubber pad forming method on a pieces contain curvature radius have been investigated by finite element method. the effect of variables such as curvature ...

Rubber based forming process is a versatile metal fabrication process used in commercial aerospace, automotive and defence applications. It is well suited for prototyping and production of small quantities of sheet metal parts. Rubber based forming employs a rubber pad contained in the rigid chamber or flexible diaphragm as one tool half, requiring only one solid half to form a part to final sh...

Nowadays, tube bonding in vehicles structure is noticeably considered by many researches. In this paper, local tube compression process by a rubber ring has been studied. Firstly, simulation of the process was performed by FEM. Then, experimental test has been carried out to validate the numerical results. Numerical and experimental results were compared showing a good agreement. In the second ...
