Abstract

In this paper, current developments on the coupled thermomechanical computational simulation of metal casting processes are presented A thermodynamically consistent constitutive material model is derived from a thermoviscoplastic free energy function. A continuous transition between [...]

Abstract

Thermoplastic polymers nowadays are drawing attention in the automotive industrial thanks to their low cost, lightweight, and sustainability. They can be simply reshaped through the thermoforming process by heating up above their melting temperatures. Most thermoplastic polymers are [...]
