Formability of Metallic Materials

Coordinator: Dr. Gabriela Vincze

Co-organisers: Prof. Frederic Barlat, Prof. Toshihiko Kuwabara, Prof. Dorel Banabic, Dr. Holger Aretz, Dr. Sam Coppieters, Prof. Sandrine Thuillier

Description: The aim of this mini-symposium is to discuss the formability of metallic materials. Namely, their ability to undergo plastic deformation and result in products with minimum damage and defects. Limiting mechanisms are not restricted to plastic flow localization, fracture and spring back, which are only a few examples under consideration. Contributions based on experimental, theoretical and numerical approaches and leading to a better understanding of the relationship between material properties, mechanical and thermal loading, and other environmental constraints on the formability of metallic materials are encouraged.
