Abstract
This paper presents investigations on multi-stage deep drawing for producing a flat and deep rectangular case, of which a cross section is high aspect ratio. Effects of a blank shape on a formability was investigated for preventing a local thinning and a large ear by using the finite [...]Abstract
Results from topology optimization will only be used in industry if manufacturing considerations have been taken into account. Ideally, the manufacturing processes are already integrated in the optimization process. Dienemann et. al [1] developed a scheme to optimize sheet metal structures [...]
