Deformation processes transform solid materials from one shape into another. The initial shape is usually simple (e.g., a billet or sheet blank) and is plastically deformed between tools, or dies, to ...

In order to improve the forming quality, it is vital to understand the mechanisms that cause the plastic strain localization which eventually leads to ductile damage occurrence in the incremental ...

Material is built up layer by layer until the complete part is made. Some additive processes use a liquid material, others use material in a powder form. A variety of materials, both plastic, and ...
