| Abstract Scope |
Sheet-like metal/polymer/metal sandwich composites (MPM) have proven their potential for aerospace and automotive applications due to their lightweight potential and improved mechanical properties. Moreover, their application in biomedical fields is promising thanks to the arbitrary customization of their mechanical properties improving the comfort criteria with human bones in case of e.g. cranial reconstruction. Therefore, the main goal is to process highly individualized parts of such sandwich sheets via the die-less incremental sheet forming process delivering 3D complex shaped parts in a cost-efficient way. In this study, a basic understanding of the forming behavior and failure mechanisms of formable MPM-sheets at room temperature is achieved by simple ISF-process conditions experimentally and numerically. Accordingly, necessary characterization experiments for materials and interface modeling are accomplished. For the first experimental runs, steel based MPMs are considered. The achieved knowledge can be then transferred to MPMs composed of biocompatible constituents in the next research activities. |
