Drawing Quality Steel Sheet Under Tension And Bending Condition, M Mihaliková, M Buršák Jul 2006

Drawing Quality Steel Sheet Under Tension And Bending Condition, M Mihaliková, M Buršák

Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals

The paper analyzes the influence of the loading rate in the interval from 1 to 1000 mm/min on the mechanical properties of drawing quality steel sheet with the gauge of 1 mm, used for the manufacturing of automotive parts, under tension and bending conditions. It describes the aspects of material characteristics under tension and bending conditions, while bending tests were made on notched specimens (a modified impact bending test). The paper presents knowledge that using a modified notch toughness test. It is possible to achieve the pressability (formability) characteristics corresponding to dynamic strain rates even under the static loading.


Elastic Modulus Of Amorphous Sio2 Nanowires, Hai Ni, Xiaodong Li, Hongsheng Gao Jan 2006

Elastic Modulus Of Amorphous Sio2 Nanowires, Hai Ni, Xiaodong Li, Hongsheng Gao

Faculty Publications

Amorphous SiO2 nanowires with diameter ranging from 50 to 100 nm were synthesized using chemical vapor deposition(CVD) under an argon atmosphere at atmospheric pressure. Nanoscale three-point bending tests were performed directly on individual amorphous SiO2 nanowires using an atomic force microscope (AFM).Elastic modulus of the amorphous SiO2 nanowires was measured to be 76.6±7.2GPa, which is close to the reported value of the bulk SiO2 and thermally grown SiO2 thin films, but lower than that of plasma-enhanced CVD SiO2 thin films. The amorphous SiO2 nanowires exhibit brittle fracture failure in bending.


An Investigation Into The Behaviour Of Sheet Metal Workpieces When Subjected To Simultaneous Double Bending, Arthur Henry Jan 2006

An Investigation Into The Behaviour Of Sheet Metal Workpieces When Subjected To Simultaneous Double Bending, Arthur Henry

Masters

Simultaneous double bending, where two 90° bends are formed in a single workpiece, in close proximity to each other and in alternate directions, are common in the metal forming industry, especially so in small production batches where press brakes and their associated tooling is extensively used. This bending process, resulting in what is commonly called a ‘joggle’ bend, is executed using specially shaped forming dies. The geometry of these dies determines the geometry of the bend and also the amount of sliding and /or stretching that takes place in the workpiece during the forming process. This in turn determines the …
