Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
Micari (University of Palermo, Italy) presents interdisciplinary and international papers, 114 in all, from an April 2007 conference. Material scientists, manufacturing engineers, and computing engineers describe research results and technology transfer in all of areas of sheet metal processing and characterization, including materials and testing, cutting, bending, stamping, hydroforming, incremental forming, joining, microforming, modeling, and manufacturing systems. Examples of specific topics covered include crash behavior of various modern steels exposed to high deformation rates, development of cooled tools for press hardening of boron steel sheets, FEM in plate bending, off-set roller bending of aluminum space-frames, and sheet hemming with rolling tools. Other areas explored are force analysis for single-point incremental forming, FEM modeling of self-piercing riveted joints, aesthetic diode laser welding of stainless steel, the occurrence of humping in welding with highest beam qualities, and mechanical and laser micro deep drawing.
