This study describes the XML -based digitalization of structural design sheets for exchange on the web. For this purpose the data model of the XML document that represents the structural design sheets for buildings, including mathematical expressions and graphics that cannot be easily exchanged on the web, is defined. Then, the prototype that facilitates the web-based exchange of the XML documents is developed and the feasibility of the results of this study is discussed.

This paper describes experimental investigation on the forming limit for mash-seam welded sheets. The uniaxial tensile test was conducted to evaluate the mechanical properties of weld bead. Experimental forming limit diagrams were investigated for the different thicknesses and properties of welded sheets.

Recently, lots of joining methods of thin metal sheets are being developed in order to improve joint quality and productivity in manufacturing area. Current existing welding methods are continuously challenged as new materials and smaller thickness of metal sheets are required. In this study, laser plug brazing process was investigated as a new joining method of thin metal sheets. A CO2 laser system with automatic feeding of filler metal wire and flux was developed, and laser plug brazing experiments were conducted. The brazed joints were analyzed using various methods.

The effects of iron content in coated layer, surface roughness and lubricants on the formability of commercial Zn-Fe alloy electroplated steel sheets used for automotive bodies were investigated. The higher the iron content in deposit, the lower the friction coefficient of Zn-Fe alloy electroplated steel sheets. The surface roughness of coated layer hardly influenced the frictional characteristics. The formability of Zn-Fe alloy electroplated steel sheets was found to be more affected by the lubricant than by iron content in Zn-Fe alloy electrodeposit.

In this study, the electrochemical properties of pitch coated silicon sheets/graphite anode materials were investigated. Using NaCl as a template, silicon sheets were prepared through the stöber method and the magnesiothermic reduction methode. In order to synthesize the anode composite, the silicon sheets and graphite were combined with SDBS. The pitch coated silicon sheets/graphite was synthesized using THF as a solvent for the anode material composite. The physical properties of the prepared anode composites were analysed by XRD, SEM, EDS and TGA. The electrochemical performances of the prepared anode composites were performed by the current charge/discharge, rate performance, cyclic voltammetry and EIS tests in the electrolyte LiPF₆ dissolved solvents (EC:DMC:EMC=1:1:1 vol%). As the silicon composition of silicon sheets/graphite composite material increased, the discharge capacity also increased, but the cycle stability tended to decrease. The anode material of pitch coated silicon sheets/graphite composite (silicon sheets:graphite=3:7 weight ratio) showed the initial discharge capacity of 1228.8 mAh/g and the capacity retention ratio of 77% after 50 cycles. From these results, it was found that the cycle stability of pitch coated silicon sheets/graphite was improved.

The physical and mechanical properties of the sheets metals are closely related to the presence of preferred crystallographic orientations which were produced by the manufacturing process. To obtain the aluminum alloys sheets with good Al sheet formability, the plastic strain ratio (or r-value) of AA1050 Al sheets after asymmetric rolling and subsequent heat treatment was studied. The AA1050 aluminum alloy sheets after asymmetric rolling with high reduction ratio and following heat treatment had the higher plastic strain ratio.

Due to their low densities and high specific strength and stiffness, magnesium alloy sheets are very attractive lightweight materials for automotive and electrical products. However, the magnesium alloy sheets are usually formed at elevated temperature because of their poor formability at room temperature. To use of the magnesium alloy sheets for an industrial, their mechanical properties at elevated temperature and appropriate forming process conditions have to be developed. In this study, non-isothermal simulations of a square cup drawing from magnesium alloy sheets have been conducted to evaluate a proper forming process conditions such as the tool temperature, the tool shoulder radius, friction between the blank and the tools. According to this study, appropriate forming process conditions of square cup drawing at elevated temperature from magnesium alloy sheets are suggested.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the characteristics of springback for the U-bending of steel sheets for automotive body panels. This study presents the experimental and analytical approach for the two kind of steel sheets, namely SCP1 and TRIP(Transformation-induced plasticity), the newly developed high strength steel. The adopted thicknesses are 0.8, 1.2 and 1.6 mm for SCP1, and 1.0 mm for TRIP. The punch profile radii are designed in 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 mm. As results, the springgo aspect could be observed experimently in the small punch profile radius. The degree of springback for TRIP sheets was more than the SCP1 sheets.

Strengthening concrete structures using FRP composites is a commonly considered technology in many practical situations. The success of the strengthening intervention largely depends on adequate bond between FRP sheets and the concrete substrate. In recent years, techniques to anchor FRP sheets in applications where sheets must develop strength in a short length have been proposed. One of these techniques includes use of FRP anchors embedded into the concrete substrate and forming part of the composite strengthening system. This paper presents the results of studies conducted recently at the University of Massachusetts Amherst to advance the understanding on the behavior of FRP anchored systems.

In order to analyze the tensile deformation characteristics of laser welded tailored blanks. laser welded blanks of different thikness and strength combinations were prepared and tensile tests were done. The tensile elongation along the direction perpendicular to weld line of laser welded blanks was reduced as increasing the deformation restraining force (strength X thicknes) ratio between two welded sheets and fracture occurred at weaker side of base sheets if void ration of welded sheets and fracture occurred at weaker side of base sheets if void ratio of weld section was less than 45% The tensile elongation along weld line reached above 90% of the elongation of base material if welding was done perfectly. Total elongation along the direction perpendicular to weld line was able to be predicted by force equilibrium and power law behavior of base sheets and it was related with the deformation of stronger sheet and formability of weaker side.
