This study suggests a novel method to detect wrinkles using the frequency characteristic of reflected ultrasonic wave. The experimental apparatus was manufactured to simulate the press forming. A plate specimen possessing periodic wrinkles in a trapezoidal shape was also prepared to simulate actual wrinkles during the press forming process. These wrinkles affected the reflected wave of ultrasonic wave. The power spectrum of reflected wave at a frequency of 0.8 MHz was changed by the occurrence of wrinkles. The comparison of the frequency characteristics provided obvious difference between wrinkled and flat specimens. As a result, the present work confirmed that the frequency characteristic of reflected wave would detect the formation of wrinkles.

High performance composites are used in commercial applications in a steadily growing degree. This increase of advanced materials is accomponied with the development of fully automated fabrication processes. It aims to drive down the time and costs of the production while ensuring a high quality of the product. This can achieved by considering the process of hot press forming with continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastics. The development of the process is, however, accompanied with a few difficulties, which require more research. For example, composite materials with different architectures, lay-ups, and constituents, show large differences in formability. This research examines the effect of friction on the formability of thermoplastic composites. Both experiments and simulations were conducted. Demonstrator products have been press-formed from laminates with different materials and architectures (UD-carbon PEEK, UD-carbon-PEI, 8hs-glass PPS, 5hs-carbon PEEK and UD-glass PPS), to investigate their effects on formability. Creating a doubly curved shape from a flat laminate requires at least three deformation mechanisms, namely in-plane shear, bending and inter-ply slippage This paper focuses on the sliding mechanism and the corresponding friction. In order to quantify the amount of sliding in the press-formed product, a dot pattern has been applied to both surfaces of the laminate. The slip between the outer plies can be analyzed by means of photogrammetry. Besides, the friction coefficient of each material is measured in a special designed friction test set-up. It can be seen that the composite formability is directly linked to its friction properties. FE simulations of the press-form process will be performed based on the measured material properties, to demonstrate the influence of the materials friction coefficient.

Bending behavior occurs in the hot press forming process, resulting in many cases of failure during forming. To address the problem of cracking and improve the formability and mechanical properties of boron steel sheets in the bending process, an experiment has been carried out by using a spring compound bending die. Also, a comparison has been made between the traditional U-bending die and the spring compound bending die with regard to formability. The influence of the parameters for hot press forming such as the heating temperature, punch speed, and die radii on the mechanical properties and microstructure was analyzed by tension testing and metallographic observations.

Abstract An efficient algorithm is presented to determine the blank shape necessary to manufacture a surface by press forming. The technique is independent of material properties and instead uses surface geometry and an area conservation constraint to generate a geometrically feasible blank shape. The algorithm is formulated as an approximate geometric interpretation of the reversal of the forming process. The primary applications for this technique are in preliminary surface design, assessment of manufacturability, and location of binder wrap. Since the algorithm exhibits linear time complexity, it is amenable to implementation as an interactive design aid. The algorithm is applied to two example surfaces and the results are discussed.

Radon is internationally recognized as one of the seven seismic precursors. A self-assembly ultrasonic generator and experimental apparatus for radon measurement were utilized to explore the radon exhalation regularities of water-bearing porous media under different ultrasonic intensities. The experimental results showed that there was a coupling relationship among radon exhalation rate, moisture content, and ultrasonic frequency. With the increase of the frequency of the ultrasonic wave, its effect on the promotion of radon exhalation rate was found to be a more obviously positive linear correlation. The radon exhalation rate, which could climb to a maximum value of 0.179 Bq·m−2·s−1 in a naturally air-dried sample, increased at first and then decreased along with increased moisture content. Moreover, this study found that the ultrasonic wave had the most remarkable promoting effects on the radon exhalation rate of porous media with high moisture content, and there is a positive linear correlation between the growth rate of the radon exhalation rate and moisture content. The experimental results could provide a beneficial reference for the continual monitoring of radon in a seismically active belt and an explanation of radon anomalies; however, the proposed experimental model was simplified, so further insights are strictly required for a reliable correlation with the real monitoring of radon in a seismically active belt.
