Laser forming is achieved by plastic deformation induced by thermal stresses resulting from
rapid nonlinear thermal cycles. Unlike mechanical forming, the process requires no hard …

Laser forming plastically deforms the material by means of a laser beam with or without the
application of mechanical loads. It can be used for bending of sheets and tubes and also for …

Shot peen forming is a cold work process used to shape thin metallic components by
bombarding them with small shots at high velocities. Several simulation procedures have …

Origami‐based techniques for creating 3D shapes from 2D patterns via folding have moved
from the domain of art to practical engineering. Flat sheets are an appealing starting material …

Forming a 3D shape from a flat sheet metal using a laser beam requires multiple irradiations
along different paths with necessary heating parameters. In this article, investigations on …

Lasers can be used to bend 2D metal sheets into complex 3D objects in a process called
'laser forming.'Laser forming bends metal sheets by locally heating the sheets to generate …

In this study, multiple laser peen forming (LPF) experiments were conducted for micro-
bending aluminum alloy 1060, OHFC copper, and commercially pure titanium specimens …

An artificial neural network (ANN) model of laser-assisted bending is developed based on
the data obtained from a finite element method (FEM) model. FEM model is validated with …

Laser shock bending is a sheet metal micro-forming process using shock waves induced by
a nanosecond-pulsed laser. It is developed to accurately bend, shape, precision align, or …

This paper reports numerical and experimental investigations on bend angle and edge
effect during laser bending of Mg alloy M1A. Initially, a finite element method (FEM) three …
