Books by Keyword: Mechanical Properties

Description: In metal forming, friction, lubrication, and wear are of utmost importance. On that account, for optimum process design, improving formability and enhancing tool life, a better understanding and an accurate prediction of friction/wear in forming processes are necessary. In this special issue, different aspects of tribology in cold/hot sheet metal forming, forging and rolling are discussed. The book will be helpful to specialists in metal forming technologies.

Description: The special issue considers some aspects of metal extrusion and drawing technologies. Articles cover experimental and theoretical achievements on the development and optimisation of these technologies. Analysis of mechanical properties and the occurrence of microstructural defects, as well as forecasting technological parameters, are also related to this issue, etc. This issue will be useful for many specialists in metallurgy and materials processing.

Description: The widespread use of composite materials, given relatively low development and manufacturing costs, creates significant demand for scientific knowledge and computational tools for their manufacturing. The mechanical behaviour of composite parts in service is dominated by fiber orientation and density, which in turn are determined by the forming process. Hence, predicting in-service performance requires a full understanding of, and preferably a prediction of, the complex material behaviour during manufacturing. The presented special edition will be helpful to researchers and practitioners who work with composite materials.

Description: The aim of this special issue is to present recent developments and technological capabilities of additive manufacturing. Pre-processing, in-situ processing, and post-processing are important stages that impact the final properties of the produced parts. Experimental results, numerical modelling methods, data analytics, and optimisation of additive manufacturing processes are considered in this edition. The book will be helpful to researchers and practitioners in additive technologies.

Description: The main topics of this special issue devoted to development of new and optimisation of existing forging and rolling, mathematical description and parameterisation of flow, damage and fracture behaviour of new workpiece and tool materials, mathematical description and parameterisation of friction, heat transfer and wear in forging and rolling, development of numerical methods, formulations and algorithms for numerical simulation of forging and rolling processes, validation of simulation models on industrial examples, computer-aided process control. Furthermore, the results of the Collaborative Research Centre 1153 on Tailored Forming are presented here. The presented research results will be useful for many engineers and researchers whose activity is related to metal processing.

Description: The wide applications of high-level composite materials at affordable development and manufacturing costs create significant demand for scientific research and computational methods to analyse properties in composite manufacturing. The mechanical behaviour of composite parts in service is dominated by fiber orientation and density, which in turn are determined by the forming process. In this case, predicting in-service performance of finished products requires a full understanding of, and preferably a prediction of, the complex material behaviour during manufacturing. The presented special issue covers these and other issues arising in the development, production, and application of modern composite materials and will be useful to many scientists and engineers from the mechanical engineering industry.
