One critical problem of sheet formed products is its dimensional accuracy. This is related to springback (elastic recovery), after forming load releasing. It may happen in any forming process; however, it is easier noted ...

The bending process is highly used by the industry due to its low cost and simplicity in the process. This process has wide applications in the automotive, aerospace, civil construction, shipbuilding, etc. However, defining ...

Mechanical forming operations are developed in several applications in industrial environments and are divided into some different operations, including cutting, bending, forging. Among the various processes, the bending ...

El interés de los fabricantes de automóviles en reducir el peso en las partes estructurales del vehículo para satisfacer las políticas de consumo de combustible y mejorar la seguridad en colisiones, los han llevado a la ...

In the branch of Mechanical Engineering, the need to design and build machines that improve and help solve problems is very frequent, as in this case, it is the sheet metal bending machine, in order to reduce costs and ...

One of the great challenges in the Sheet Metal Forming (SMF) area is the possibility of stamping parts without material failure. Such failures are often referred to as shear fractures and can occur unpredictably in regions ...
