However, sandwich sheets require separate formation and bonding of the face sheets and core, resulting in high labor costs and early fracture due to delamination of the adhesive layer. The purpose of this study is to overcome these problems by integrating sandwich sheet using additive manufacturing. The mechanical properties of the integrally formed sandwich sheets were compared with those of adhesively formed sandwich sheets using a three-point bending test. The strain distribution was captured by digital image correlation (DIC) during the test. Additionally, the geometric design parameters of a core with superior mechanical properties were investigated. The test results showed that the integrally formed specimens exhibited superior properties compared to those of the adhesively formed specimens.

For this purpose, the coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian method is used to replicate the formation of the water flow, resulting from an impact, leading to the fabrication of flawless T-shaped copper tubes. One major advantage of such coupled Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) modeling is that it eliminates the need for measuring the parameters associated with the process including the internal pressure, and works with the minimum number of inputs such as the impact velocity. Moreover, ductile damage analysis has been performed in FE studies to further investigate the damage evolution in specimens. Experimental tests are also carried out to examine the viability of performing the impact tube hydroforming process in low velocities and also to validate the authenticity of the presented numerical method. Results corroborate the accuracy of the presented numerical approach in predicting the process parameters, the final shape, and the onset and evolution of rupture in fabricated tubes. The feasibility of this approach shows promise in wide application for finite element modeling of the hydroforming process.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":591,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Material Forming","volume":"16 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134878386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The applied positive pressure in this process is attractive for reduction in part porosity. However, some part geometries can cause porosity issues even under positive pressure. One is the concave corner seen in an L-bracket geometry. Higher porosity is seen in areas of high curvature, hindering part quality. Since the autoclave process takes several hours and prepreg material is expensive, trial-and-error methods of resolving issues are not practical. In this work, a unique physics-based viscoelastic model is proposed to describe the mechanical behavior of uncured continuous fiber thermoset prepreg undergoing consolidation under hydrostatic pressure. This model considers stress due to compaction of the fiber network, compression of voids in the resin, and viscous stress from resin flow relative to fibers. The constitutive expressions for these are coupled to important mechanisms that occur during autoclave consolidation. The viscoelastic model is incorporated into the finite element analysis software ABAQUS/Standard using a UMAT subroutine. Numerical results are validated by analytic solutions and experimental comparison for flat and L-bracket geometries.

As part of the interdisciplinary research group \"Light—Efficient—Mobile\" investigations on the energy-efficient friction-induced recycling process have been carried out at the department of Forming and Machining Technology at Paderborn University. E.g. using the friction-induced recycling process, different formless solid aluminum materials can be direct recycled into semi-finished products in an energy-efficient manner. The results of investigations with regard to the influence of the geometrical shape and filling rate of the aluminum particles to be recycled as well as the rotational speed of the continuously rotating wheel are explained in this paper. In addition to the recycling of aluminum chips, aluminum particles like powders from the field of additive manufacturing are processed. Based on these results, the future potentials of solid-state recycling processes and their contribution to the circular economy are discussed.

The toolpath is one of the most critical process parameters, significantly influencing the ISF formability. The conventional toolpath strategies, such as spiral and constant z-slice-based tool paths, do not prove helpful for complex asymmetries in part geometry. The approach to toolpath planning in ISF should consider both material behavior and design complexity. This work compares conventional toolpaths with two strategies, namely feature-based and space-filling fractal tool paths. Material thinning and geometric deviations are critical limitations for successful part development. All toolpath strategies were evaluated for material distribution, geometric accuracy, and fracture depth using four carefully designed components with gradually increasing asymmetry. As evident from the results obtained, the material deformation was sensitive to the choice of toolpath strategies. The feature-based tool path captures the part curvatures more uniformly, leading to homogeneous thickness distribution.

The heterogeneous nature is characterized in terms of sample shape, strain, and strain rate heterogeneities. The results show that the final shape of the sample at a given macroscopic strain is influenced not only by the friction coefficient but also by the material properties. The levels of strain and strain rate heterogeneities in the samples can be significant in some conditions, leading to large errors when exploiting the force versus displacement data with the hypothesis of homogeneous strain. The estimations of the strain rate sensitivity parameters are not significantly affected by the strain heterogeneities, but the errors on the strain hardening parameters can be as large as 40 %. The apparent strain hardening parameter appears to be artificially strain rate sensitive. Being systematically lower than the material strain hardening parameter, when measured at lower strain rates, this underestimation will induce a systematic error in the determination of material properties and should be taken into consideration.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":591,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Material Forming","volume":"16 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12289-023-01782-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"6551728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It hereby relies not only on parameters, but also on additional features to improve the generalization ability and applicability of the drawability assessment compared to classical approaches. Using the machine learning approach on a generated data set for a wide range of different cross-die drawing configurations, a classifier is trained to distinguish between drawable and non-drawable setups. Furthermore, two regression models, one for drawable and one for non-drawable designs are developed that rank designs by drawability. At instantaneous evaluation time, classification scores of high accuracy as well as regression scores of high quality for both regressors are achieved. The presented models can substitute low-fidelity finite element models due to their low evaluation times while at the same time, their predictive quality is close to high-fidelity models.
