Uncertainties on the mechanical behaviour of bronze sheets: influence on the failure in bending
Copper alloys are extensively used in the manufacture of electrical and electronic components, which strength depends on the material mechanical properties, which in turn depend on the metallurgical state. Eve...

Numerical Analysis on the Spatiotemporal Characteristics of the Portevin–Le Chatelier Effect in Ti-12Mo Alloy
A simplified 3D FE model based on McCormick’s model is developed to numerically predict the spatiotemporal behaviors of the PLC effect in Ti-12Mo alloy tensile tests at 350 °C with strain rates from the order ...

Mechanical Properties Involved in the Micro-forming of Ultra-thin Stainless Steel Sheets
The objective of this paper is to characterize the mechanical behavior of an ultra-thin stainless steel, of 0.15-mm thickness, that is commonly used in the manufacturing of miniature connectors. The main focus...

Occurrence and numerical prediction of surface defects during flanging of metallic sheets
Surface defects can develop on automotive exterior panels after drawing and flanging steps, during springback and may alter significantly the vehicle quality. These defects are characterized by a small depth b...
