Toward virtual forming and design: Thermomechanical characterization of advanced high strength steels through full-field measurements and a single designed test KU Leuven
Nowadays, the use of numerical simulation in general and particularly finite element analysis (FEA) has become a mandatory step of material processing optimization. Reliable virtual forming would lead to stiffer, stronger, safer and lighter steel parts through using advanced models. Simulationsoftware uses complex material constitutive models and its success reproducing the real thermomechanical behaviour is inherently dependent on the ...
