EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL INVESTIGATIONS FOR THE CHARACTERISATION OF FLOW BEHAVIOUR OF HYBRID STRUCTURES PRODUCED BY NON-KINEMATICAL CONSTRAINT MANUFACTURING PROCESSES
Journal Title: Computer Methods in Materials Science - Year 2018, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
With regard to the challenges in the automotive production sector, caused by political regulations of CO2 emissions, lightweight concepts are focussed by industrial development. Fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) represent an alternative material compared to monolithic steel. On the one hand FRP materials offer advantages like less density with high specific strength, on the other hand new production concepts and processes are needed. A possible approach is the combination of different forming processes for the production of new hybrid components. Polymer based and conventional sheet metal material characteristics differ strongly. Therefore an extensive material characterisation is needed as well as appropriate mathematical methods concerning the material modelling. This publication deals with the material characterisation of glass mat reinforced thermoplastic composite (GMT) and the finite element based design of a manufacturing process of hybrid components with metallic inlays.

SEDIMENTATION IN BINARY Cu-Sn SYSTEM
In the present paper the sedimentation process in binary multiphase Cu-Sn system is presented. The initial samples were produced by GoodFellow, the initial molar fraction was Cu30Sn70 respectively. Thus, the two-phase re...
RULE-BASED CONTROLLING OF A MULTISCALE MODEL OF PRECIPITATION KINETICS
One of the most important obstacles of widening of multiscale modelling is its high computational demand. It is caused by the fact, that each of numerous fine scale models has comparable computational requirements to a c...
APPLICATION OF THE IMMUNE ALGORITHM IRM FOR SOLVING THE INVERSE PROBLEM OF METAL ALLOY SOLIDIFICATION INCLUDING THE SHRINKAGE PHENOMENON
In the paper the mathematical model of the inverse one-dimensional problem of binary alloy solidification, with the material shrinkage phenomenon taken into account, is defined. The process is described by using the mode...
HEADING OF SMALL BI-METALLIC COMPONENTS FOR ELECTRIC CONTACTS
Electrical connectors mostly have silver contacts joined to the supplying and discharging electric current elements by riveting. In order to reduce costs, the rivet core of the contact can be replaced with a cheaper mate...
A SIMULATION STUDY ON THE CLOSED-LOOP CONTROL OF SCREW PRESS FORGINGS USING THE IMPACT ENERGY AS CONTROL INPUT
Screw presses are energy-restricted forming machines that use rotational energy stored in a flywheel for forming, which is converted into a linear movement by a threaded screw. Screw presses are widely used for forging s...
