Characterization and Modelling of 3rd Generation Advanced High Strength Steel Automotive B-pillars from Forming to Crash
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-26)This thesis investigates the application of 3rd Generation Advanced High-Strength Steels (3rd Gen AHSS) with ultimate tensile strengths of 980 and 1180 MPa to the forming and crash performance of an automotive B-pillar. ... -
Constitutive and Fracture Characterization of High Strength Aluminum Alloys at Low and Elevated Strain Rates
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-27)The present research investigates the constitutive and fracture behavior of three high strength automotive aluminum sheet alloys, AA6013-T6, AA7075-T6, and AA7xxx-T6 under quasi-static and elevated strain rate conditions. ... -
Experimental Characterization and Numerical Modelling of the Interfacial Heat Transfer Coefficient in Hot Stamping of Al-Si Coated 22MnB5 Steel
(University of Waterloo, 2023-10-18)In automotive hot stamping of Al-Si coated 22MnB5 steel, the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) between the blank and die is crucial for predicting the mechanical properties of the as-formed part. While average HTCs associated ...
