The deformation mechanism of incremental sheet forming (ISF) is examined experimentally
through forming specially prepared copper sheets. Strain distributions through the thickness …

Applications of sandwich panels as 3D shells are limited by the high costs of tooling
required for conventional forming operations. This paper presents an investigation into …

Composed of a series of essays, this book deals with the broad issues affecting the nature of
architectural materials and provides a focused review of the state of the art materials. It also …

The current automotive industry faces numerous challenges, including increased global
competition, more stringent environmental and safety requirements, the need for higher …

Bonded networks of metal fibres are highly porous, permeable materials, which often exhibit
relatively high strength. Material of this type has been produced, using melt-extracted ferritic …

This paper concerns energy absorption during projectile penetration of thin, lightweight
sandwich panels with metallic fibre cores. The panels were made entirely of austenitic …

Porous metal fiber sintered sheets (MFSSs) are a type of low density cellular materials
promising for functional and structural applications. A micromechanics random beam model …

The architecture of bonded fibre networks produced by sintering of short stainless steel
fibres has been characterised using computed X‐ray microtomography. Two important …

Entangled fibrous materials have been manufactured from different fibers: metallic fibers,
glass fibers, and carbon fibers. Specimens have been produced with and without cross-links …

In the present paper, highly porous fibre networks made of 316L fibres, with different fibre
volume fractions, are characterized in terms of network architecture, elastic constants and …
