With the advent of camera‐based full‐field measurement techniques such as digital image
correlation (DIC), researchers have been trying to exploit such rich data sets through the use …

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 …

The present study investigated the size effect on the formability of ultra-thin metallic bipolar
plate for proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell by crystal plasticity finite element …

Micro-stamping is a promising process for the low-cost manufacture of micro-channels from
thin metal sheet for fuel cell bipolar plates. Most previous studies numerically analysed …

Improving the formability of sheet metal is a constant challenge in microforming. In this study,
applying normal stresses to the specimen surface is found to be an effective method for …

316L stainless steel is often used as the metal bipolar plate, which is a key component of
fuel cells. For the thinner metal bipolar plates, the mechanical properties may be different for …

Due to the size effect, the formability of metal sheets diminishes and the ultimate strain
points exhibit a more discrete distribution. This poses a huge challenge to the process …

This study investigates the effect of grain size and composition on the material properties
and forming limits of commercially supplied stainless steel foil for bipolar plate manufacture …

The small punch (SP) test is utilized to assess the mechanical characteristics and damage
progression of heat-resistant alloys. The inverse finite element analysis method …

This research numerically investigates the effect of the energy transfer medium on the
deformation behavior of the 2024-T351 Al alloy tube during the explosive forming process …
