Since always, Industry minimizes manufacturing process plan and increases mechanical behaviour. In this topic, the thixoforging process offers important perspectives especially steel thixoforging. It is on the way of industrial development between casting and forging process. Previous works have illustrated the importance many parameters such as st...
Glass shaping, which corresponds to the removal of the edges of a specimen, is the last finishing operation in glass manufacturing. This process has several functions on the final shaped glass including removing sharp edges, improving mechanical resistance, decreasing surface damage and giving it an aesthetical aspect. This article addresses the ef...
To develop Net Shape parts by forging, process planing must take design, production, heat treatment and control difficulties into account the earliest it's possible. In this perspective, we propose to present an aspect of our work, made in collaboration with an industry, which deals with the dimensional control of the functionality of forged straig...
La mise en forme de tôles métalliques implique bien souvent de grandes déformations accompagnées de trajets de chargement complexes. Pour améliorer la prédiction via la simulation numérique de la forme finale des pièces, des modèles de comportement plus physiques doivent être considérés. On se propose ici d’étudier la localisation des déformations ...
This paper presents the development of a six-node solid-shell finite element called (SHB6) and based on the assumed strain method adopted by Belytschko et al. [2]. It is integrated with a set of five Gauss points along a special direction, denoted “thickness”, and with only one point in the other in-plane directions. Its discrete gradient is modifi...
This work aims to study the strain localization in different sheet metal forming processesby the finite element method using advanced behaviour models. In order to improve the prediction of the formability limit of sheets under forming it is important to consider constitutive models that take into account the degradation of material properties due ...
The Laboratoire National de Métrologie et d’Essais (LNE) has developed an innovative ultra precision coordinate measuring machine [LAH07] traceable to the national length standard to measure three-dimensional objects with nanometric uncertainties (figure 1). The measuring range is 300 mm x 300 mm x 50 μm. The objective in term of uncertainty is to ...
A sub-unit of an aeronautical structure (fuselage, fin, wing, etc.) consists of a set of components fixed rigidly together. One of today’s major industrial challenges is to produce these sub-units out of composite materials in order to increase the level of integration and reduce and cost. This article describes a procedure to assist in the industr...
Lors des opérations de mise en forme de structures minces, des phénomènes d’instabilité peuvent se produire. En emboutissage, ces instabilités peuvent se manifester sous différentes formes comme par exemple la striction ou encore la localisation des déformations plastiques sous forme de bandes de cisaillement. Toutes ces instabilités conduisent soi...
On s’intéresse à la mesure de la conductivité thermique d’un alliage semiconducteur Ge2Sb2Te5. Ce matériau présente 2 changements de phase structurale (amorphe – cristallin cubique et cubique – hexagonale) à des températures particulières. La conductivité électrique de ce matériau varie sur plusieurs décades entre l’état amorphe et l’état cristalli...
