Broad use of lightweight aluminium alloy parts in automobile manufacturing, aerospace,
electronic communication, and rail transit is mainly formed through deep drawing process …

Hardness is routinely utilised to link the bulk material properties to surface contact
mechanics. Besides possible differences in the material properties between bulk and …

Numerical simulation of sheet metal forming processes has become indispensable in the
last decades. Although the complexity of the frictional behaviour is identified as a key factor …

The aim of this article is to provide an analysis of the influence of the type of hard anti-wear
coatings on the friction behaviour of DC01 deep-drawing steel sheets. DC01 steel sheets …

Characterisation of model asperity flattening under longitudinal subsurface elongation is
presented with a variety of normal pressure, flank angle and strain hardening behaviour. A …

Friction in sheet metal forming is largely determined by asperity flattening and the real
contact area between sheet asperities and tool surface. This paper presents a new …

Predictions of the real contact area in metal forming processes are essential for the
calculation of friction and, consequently, the optimisation of energy consumption and quality …

This paper presents a novel integrated approach to modeling surface texture transfer in skin-
pass rolling under mixed elasto-plasto-hydrodynamic lubrication (EPHL). The innovation lies …

The load bearing capacity of entrapped lubricant and resulting diminished asperity flattening
are studied with a new specimen design that allows for both compression and biaxial bulk …

Hyperelastic materials like gels and rubbers have numerous applications in daily life and
industrial production. However, most traditional contact models for rough solids do not …
