Creation of High-Strength Structures and Joints by Setting up Local Material Properties
Description:
The demands now being made on metallic structures are increasingly complex, since the strains and application loading-profiles which occur are locally limited and inhomogeneous. Therefore, high-strength structures having optimised material properties have to be developed.

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
Funded by the German Research Foundation, this research project investigates materials and processes for forming, manufacturing, and joining high-strength structures, and their effect on desired component properties. Topics of the 13 papers include martensite evolution during sheet metal forming, the production of foamed hollow sections, superimposed cold solid forming, 3D optical measurement with locally adapted projection, and fatigue life calculation for structures with inhomogenous strength properties.
