Bipolar plate (BPP) is a key component for proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC)
stack. Stainless steel BPPs possess high electrical and thermal conductivity, good gas …

This paper presents a historical perspective on the development of the model that was
initially proposed by Prof. Marciniak in 1965 for calculating the Forming Limit Curves (FLC's) …

For the establishment of reliable micro/meso scale forming processes, it is essential to
accurately predict the forming limits of metal foils under different deformation paths …

Product miniaturisation has increased the demand for cross-scaled components with various
sized features covering the macroscale (mm-scale) and mesoscale (μm-scale). During the …

It has been accepted that the formability of a sheet metal with a moderate ductility can be
limited by not only localized necking (LN), but also ductile fracture (DF). In this study, a …

Lack of systematic researches on mesoscaled deformation and damage criteria would
obstruct the development of optimal microforming of clad foils. In this paper, a newly …

The forming limits and failure properties of three distinct advanced high-strength steels
(AHSS) have been investigated under various stress states in tensile tests with optimized …

Multi-stage micro-scale deformation-based processing of ultra-thin metallic sheets has been
widely used in the manufacturing of light-weight parts with complicated structures. Because …

Edge cracks are a type of damage that critically affect the quality and properties of rolled Mg
alloys sheet. Accurate damage prediction plays a key role in root cause analysis and …

The geometry and grain size effects have been revealed to affect the formability of metal
materials during the micro/meso scale forming processes. To understand and characterize …
