TL;DR: In this article, an innovative and effective methodology to characterize plastic flow and failure in single point incremental forming (SPIF) of polymers that allows determining the stresses and the accumulated values of ductile damage directly from the experimental values of strain at various positions over the deformed polymer sheets.

TL;DR: The process evaluation will provide a comprehensive account of what was necessary to implement the EuroFIT program in professional football clubs within a trial setting and how outcomes were affected by the program.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine plasticity and circle grid analysis to investigate the deformation mechanics and failure in hole-flanging produced by single point incremental forming (SPIF).

TL;DR: In this article, a link between plastic flow, void coalescence and growth, ductile damage, crack opening modes and fracture toughness in sheet metal forming is proposed based on an analytical framework that allows estimating the location of the fracture loci in the principal strain space directly from material stress-strain response and from fracture toughness and thickness at fracture obtained from double-notched test specimens loaded in tension and plane torsion (inplane shear).

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple and effective experimental procedure to determine the fracture strains and the critical values of ductile damage at the onset of failure by fracture in tube forming is presented.
