TL;DR: In this article, the authors define a new class of sheet-bulk metal forming processes, give an overview of the existing processes belonging to this class, highlight the tooling aspects as well as the resulting product properties and present a short summary of the relevant work that has been done towards modeling and simulation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a critical review of the models available today for predicting the material behaviour at both industrial and scientific level, and the tests needed to identify the models' material parameters.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors revisited the forming limit diagram (FLD) in the light of fundamental concepts of plasticity, damage and ductile fracture mechanics and proposed a new experimental methodology to determine the formability limits by fracture in sheet metal forming.

TL;DR: In this article, the re-use of aluminum AA-6060 scrap based on milling and turning chips, by direct hot extrusion is presented, which aims at using compacted chips as billet material.

TL;DR: In this article, the possibility of employing the single point incremental forming technology currently being developed for flexible sheet metal forming applications, for producing low cost, small-batch, high-quality polymeric sheet components is discussed.
