Springback

Elastic springback compensation is a long-standing issue for formed sheet automotive components. The ability to predict the magnitude of springback as a

Tension-Compression Testing

Ongoing
Project goal is to develop a fully-instrumented version of the tension-compression test, to enable measurement of the Bauschinger Effect in sheet metal, and to

Uniaxial Tension Beyond Necking

Ongoing
This project is developing methods to extract valid tensile stress-strain data out of an ASTM E8-type test beyond the point of necking.

X-ray Stress Measurement

Ongoing
Using X-ray diffraction techniques one can measure the full stress tensor just inside the surface of a sheet metal specimen under applied load. For experiments

Yield Surface Measurement

Ongoing
In order to calculate the stresses that develop within a formed part, and thereby compensate for such things as elastic springback, it is necessary for the
