Abstract

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part E: Journal of Process Mechanical Engineering, Ahead of Print.
Many industrial and automotive parts are fabricated using sheet metal bending, and specific sheet metals, particularly tailor-welded blanks (TWBs), are widely used. TWBs often suffer from springback problem during bending. This study was aimed at ...
