The influence of temperature on the forming behavior of an aluminum/polypropylene/aluminum (APA) sandwich sheet was studied. Shear and tensile tests were performed to determine the mechanical properties of the laminate and the component materials as a function of process temperature. The forming limit diagram (FLD) of the laminate was established for two different temperatures, and its springback behavior was examined in four-point bend and channel bend tests. Cup forming tests were performed at various test temperatures to determine the limiting drawing ratio (LDR) and the tendency for wrinkling at these temperatures. Although there was only a minor influence of temperature on the mechanical properties and the FLD values of the laminate, the bend test results reveal that springback can be reduced by forming at higher temperature. The decreasing strength of the core material with rising process temperature led to an increased tendency of the laminate to wrinkle in the heated cup drawing tests.

This research aims to investigate the mechanical properties, fractography and formability of Al/Cu two-layer composite sheets at three temperatures (23 °C, 120 °C and 220 °C). The bimetal sheet was fabricated by the explosive welding method. The anisotropy of the Al/Cu bimetallic composite sheet was investigated. The result showed significant anisotropy in the Al/Cu composite sheet due to the explosive welding process. The Vickers hardness measurements demonstrated that the hardness in both aluminum and copper sides increased because of the work hardening phenomenon. The fractography of the surfaces was investigated by the scanning electron microscope after tensile tests to study the effect of temperature and the direction, which the samples prepared for the tensile test with respect to the explosion direction, on the mechanism of the fracture. For the tensile test, the samples were prepared parallel to the detonation direction [Formula: see text] and two other directions with respect to the explosion direction [Formula: see text] from the AA1100/Cu10100 bimetallic sheet. Finally, the forming limit diagram of the Al/Cu composite sheet was determined at the three mentioned temperatures. The results demonstrated that temperature and the direction had a considerable effect on the mechanism of the rupture and formability. As the temperature of the specimen rises, the regions that brittle fracture happened became less and the formability improved significantly. The formability of the Al/Cu composite sheet enhanced about 34.8% when the temperature increased from 23 °C to 120 °C and 67.5% when it increased from 120 °C to 220 °C.

The influence of temperature on the flow stress and the uniform strain of steel, brass, aluminium and AISI 304 and 316 type stainless steels is determined by using uniaxial tensile tests. Sliding and stretching friction coefficients at several surface temperatures are measured for various sheets and lubricants using a bending under tension type strip drawing test. The validity of the results is verified by deep drawing experiments. The influence of temperature difference between the punch nose region and the flange on the drawing and fracture loads and on the limiting drawing ratio is determined.

The concept of quenching and partitioning (Q&P) is a tool to generate steels with high strength and high ductility resulting from a relatively high amount of martensite and austenite. As the parameters of the Q&P treatment influence the strength and ductility properties, the goal of this work was to analyze the effects of varying quenching and partitioning temperatures on the phase evolution, on the retained austenite phase fraction and on the mechanical properties. The phase evolution during heat treatment was analyzed by dilatometer and the microstructure after processing was characterized by light microscopy in combination with color etching according to Klemm. The austenite phase fraction and its carbon content were determined by X-Ray diffraction and the mechanical properties were evaluated by tensile tests. It is shown that the quenching temperature has a minor impact on the phase fraction of austenite as well as its stabilization by carbon and thus, also the mechanical properties. Furthermore, austenite transformation during the partitioning treatment is illustrated.

The paper describes a method which has been developed for obtaining the limiting drawing ratio of titanium and aluminum alloys, and determines the moment of failure of the work-piece. This method is based not only on the use of Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) in predicting the failure of the blank, but also the using method of variable parameters of elasticity in determining the stress-strain state in deep drawing process.

The influence of temperature on the mechanical properties of excised saline-filled lung parenchyma of the dog was studied at low lung volume. The motivation of this study was to determine whether lung tissue material without the influence of surface tension undergoes a phase transition in the 20–40 degrees C range, as does synthetic elastin studied by Urry in 1984–1986. Dynamic biaxial and uniaxial tensile tests were done, and strain vs. Lagrangian stress curves were recorded during slow cooling and heating between 40 and 10 degrees C. To emphasize the effects of elastin, strains (defined as stretch ratio minus one) were kept below 30%. A slight decrease in compliance occurred with cooling over the entire temperature range. This effect may be attributed to collagen. It was accompanied by a gradual increase in length as the tissue cooled, an effect that may be attributed to elastin. This process was partially reversible with reheating. However, this effect is in contrast with the sudden drastic change in mechanical properties of synthetic elastin described by Urry. Hysteresis, creep, and stress relaxation were small at these low strains. Possible causes of these effects are discussed.

A tailor welded blank (TWB) includes two or more blanks joined together in order to make a single blank. Different welding methods are used to join blanks with different characteristics and form TWBs. In this study, a comparison is made among the effects of three different welding methods namely CO2 laser welding, friction stir welding (FSW), and friction stir vibration welding (FSVW) on mechanical and formability properties of developed TWBs. AA6061 alloy sheets with different thicknesses (1.2 and 0.8 mm) are joined to get TWBs. The forming limit diagram (FLD) and limiting dome height (LDH) are applied to assess the formability. The Taguchi method is applied to find the optimum values of welding parameters. It is concluded that TWBs made by FSVW have higher mechanical properties and formability compared to TWBs made by FSW and CO2 laser welding. The results also indicate that FLD for TWBs made by FSW is higher than FLD for TWBs made by CO2 laser welding and FLD0, for TWBs made by FSVW, increases as vibration frequency increases.

High temperature conventional triaxial compression test of shale are carried out by the MTS815 servo-controlled testing machine, based on the experimental results, the relationships between temperature and shale peak strength, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, cohesion, internal friction angle are investigated. Although the experimental results are discrete comparatively, the general law is obvious. When the confining pressure imposed on shale is constant and the temperature changes form 25°C to 120°C, with the increasing of the temperature, the triaxial compression strength, shear strength gradually increase, while average elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio has a slightly decrease. The thermal stress generated by the high temperature plays a role to accommodate the deformation and the function of preventing crack propagation, thus the bearing capacity of shale samples are strengthened. But the influence of temperature on shale mechanical properties mutates when the temperature is at 80°C. Shale peak strength dramatically decreased, average elastic modulus decreased slightly, and Poisson's ratio also increased slightly, which indicated that at 80°C, different thermal expansivity of mineral particles of shale may cause cross-grain boundary thermal expansion incongruous, creating additional thermal stress, thus the sample’s bearing capacity decreased.
