Hydraulic bulge test represents nowadays an important means to obtain higher accuracy on
material characterization. One reason is the possibility of using the obtained biaxial stress …

In this paper, a novel test method named bulging with stepped-dies is proposed to overcome
the difficulty of traditional test methods in realizing continuous nonlinear loading paths from …

The hydraulic circular and elliptical bulge tests have been widely used in extracting
mechanical properties of sheet materials. Theoretical analysis of bulge tests usually requires …

This research is focused on the modeling of the deformation behavior of thin austenitic
stainless steel sheets to consider size effect in microscale. First, the material with two …

This paper presents a study on the formability prediction, thickness variation, the influence of
the gradient temperature, and prediction damage and failure behavior of aluminum sheets in …

The hydraulic bulge test provides a useful tool to characterize the mechanical behavior of
sheet metal under nearly equibiaxial loading, such as the material hardening response …

The increasing amount of hot and warm stamping parts in the automotive industry shows
that high temperature forming is critical to reach the emission goal fixed by regulation …

Abstract At present, Sheet Metal Forming (SMF) is not just limited to increasing demand from
