Abstract
As the main structural component of aircraft skin, aluminum alloy integral panel is characterized by smooth aerodynamic configuration, light weight, high specific strength and stiffness, short fabrication cycle and so on. It is imperative to develop effective forming technology to manufacture integral panel with high configuration and dimension accuracy from flat or profiled sheet metal. Bend forming has advantages over other processes. Significant research work has been carried out in recent decades. This literature covers a review of the research and development of bend forming of aluminum alloy integral panels regarding principles, applications, forming processes and defects like buckling and fracture based on experiments and finite element simulations. Future research directions are also pointed out.
期刊介绍:
Metallurgical Research and Technology (MRT) is a peer-reviewed bi-monthly journal publishing original high-quality research papers in areas ranging from process metallurgy to metal product properties and applications of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys, including light-metals. It covers also the materials involved in the metal processing as ores, refractories and slags.
The journal is listed in the citation index Web of Science and has an Impact Factor.
It is highly concerned by the technological innovation as a support of the metallurgical industry at a time when it has to tackle severe challenges like energy, raw materials, sustainability, environment... Strengthening and enhancing the dialogue between science and industry is at the heart of the scope of MRT. This is why it welcomes manuscripts focusing on industrial practice, as well as basic metallurgical knowledge or review articles.
