Deformation processes transform solid materials from one shape into another. The initial shape is usually simple (e.g., a billet or sheet blank) and is plastically deformed between tools, or dies, to ...

Composites have become key materials for strategic industries such as aerospace, new energy vehicles, and high-end equipment due to their superior specific ...

In order to improve the forming quality, it is vital to understand the mechanisms that cause the plastic strain localization which eventually leads to ductile damage occurrence in the incremental ...

Continuous fiber reinforced composites gained increasing relevance in recent years in many high-end applications. Due to their high mechanical properties ...

How are things made? In this video I take a look at the different types of manufacturing processes - forming, casting, molding, machining, joining and additive manufacturing - which are used to create ...

Short cycle times and automated methods are key to meeting the high production rates being sought for the next generation of narrowbody commercial aircraft, advanced air mobility (AAM), unmanned ...

The ability to produce quality products hinges on four key competencies: modeling of process form and precision levels, design tolerancing of parts and products, selecting production processes that ...
