Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (laser) is a coherent and
monochromatic source of electromagnetic radiation that can propagate in a straight line with …

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 …

This study aims at a comprehensive investigation of residual stresses in laser powder bed
fusion processed H13 tool steel through experiment and part-level simulation. Twin …

Laser forming is a complex thermal–mechanical process. To reveal the mechanisms
dominating the forming process is essential to control accurately the deformation of metal …

To obtain further insight into the deformation of a plate in the laser forming process, the
temperature gradient mechanism (TGM) is studied. Through the investigation, it can be …

The present investigation deals with the control of springback phenomena in the bending
process of aluminium sheets by hybrid forming process. Metal substrates were pre-bent to …

Laser bending has emerged as a promising technique for shaping metallic sheets with high
precision and flexibility. However, the traditional temperature gradient mechanism (TGM) of …

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 …

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 …

Laser beam forming has emerged as a new and very promising technique to form sheet
metal by thermal residual stresses. The objective of this work is to investigate numerically …
