We investigate the evolution of shear bands in a Ti-10V-3Fe-2Al alloy with three different initial microstructures: solution-annealed β-titanium, β-titanium with primary α-phase precipitates as well as a condition with primary and secondary α-phase precipitates. Quasi-static and dynamic testing of compression-shear specimens with strain rates of 10-3 s-1 and 102 s-1 is performed at room temperature. The influence of two different sample geometries on the macroscopic shearing tendency is investigated: samples with a cylindrical cross section and samples with a square cross section. The results of digital image correlation and the nominal stress-strain behavior under quasi-static and dynamic loading indicate a stronger localization tendency of the aged conditions with additional α-phase precipitates compared to the solution-annealed pure β-condition. Our results also demonstrate that compression-shear testing with samples with a square cross-section reduces facet loss, increases the resolution even at high strain rates and therefore allows to analyze strain distributions during shear band formation and propagation with higher accuracy.
Through capturing spectral data from a wide frequency range along with the spatial information, hyperspectral imaging (HSI) can detect minor differences in terms of temperature, moisture and chemical composition. Ther...

AbstractAnatomical reduction and lag screw fixation of posterior malleolar (PM) ankle fractures typically involves an open posterolateral approach. The aim of this anatomical study was to assess whether a minimally-invasive, percutaneous posterior-to-anterior lag screw fixation technique is safe to perform. Eighteen cadaveric ankle specimens were used. A transverse incision was made at the lateral border of the Tendo Achilles (TA). Windows were made lateral to and through the substance of the TA and simulated reduction and placement of a single lag screw performed. Specimens were then fully dissected to ascertain proximity and damage to anatomical structures. Lag screw fixation was placed appropriately in all ankles. No injury to the neurovascular structures, ankle joint or syndesmotic ligaments was observed. The mean distance from the soft tissue window to sural nerve was 10.0 mm (range 5–16), and 9.5 mm to short saphenous vein (4–14). Whilst the muscle belly of flexor hallucis longus (FHL) was pierced in six specimens, no injuries to the FHL tendon were observed. The mean distance from screw to syndesmosis was 9.3 mm (range 3–15) and 12.7 mm to the ankle joint (7–17). This study demonstrates that posterior percutaneous lag screw fixation is both safe and accurate. Further work is required to evaluate the precision of reduction and the biomechanical stability of this fixation technique. This novel minimally-invasive technique may be beneficial in avoiding the wound complications associated with open posterolateral ankle approaches and also offer a functional advantage due to minimal soft tissue disruption.

Burnishing is a finishing process which levels the roughness of machined surfaces and increases the hardness by micro-forming. In this paper, a novel two-dimensional finite element model for the diamond ball burnishing process on aluminium is presented, which allows a prediction of the surface structure. The force, step over distance, and tool geometry during the burnishing process are taken into account by the model and the results are verified by experimental investigations. The verification shows that the model is able to predict all geometrical surface aspects like roughness, sinking-in and bulge formation for reasonable process parameters.

This article deals with improving the planning of hem flange bonding in the car body manufacturing process. Particularly during the ramp-up of the plant, great effort is put into ensuring that the generated adhesive bond meets the quality requirements. Here, several challenges occur in parallel. This ranges from the specific adhesive design, a result of multi-dimensional and individually curved car body parts, to the multi-stage process chain, where the associated manufacturing equipment is complex. This intricacy is countered by a discrete analysis of the adhesive continuum. Based on an established method, the location where the adhesive must be applied is computed under consideration of contiguous contours, disturbance variables and applicability by the projected dispensing system. For this reason the performance of the involved machines is examined. The results of this new method comprise a robot path along which an application system is guided, and control commands for the latter. Finally, a validation proves that this way, the adhesive application can be designed in a shorter period of time and in high quality at an early stage of plant design.

Ever higher demands are placed on the quality and complexity of formed sheet metal parts, whereby the efficiency of the processes may not be affected. Thus it becomes more difficult to ensure process stability. In order to reduce rejected parts it is necessary to improve forming technologies and processes. Closed loop control of process variables with an influence to the quality of a part is a promising approach. Therefor the reliable metrological acquisition of such a parameter is a basic requirement. forming force respectively force distribution has an influence on component quality and seems to be a suited value. In this paper, a measurement setup and its implementation in a demonstrator is described. First metrological examinations show occurring effects during eccentric load cases and the derivation of spindle forces via additional load paths in the machine frame. This knowledge will be used for the development of a force control.
