Forming-Based Process Modeling of the Linear Winding Method
| Funding: | German Research Foundation (DFG) |
| Project: | TE 508/56-1 |
| Contact: | Anna Komodromos M. Sc. |
| Status: | Completed |
Due to the increasing importance of electromobility the linear winding of noncircular coil bobbins (see figure a) has been analyzed in cooperation with the Institute of Production Science (KIT).
Development of a Model to Describe Springback and Residual Stresses Resulting from Bending at Elevated Temperatures
| Funding: | German Research Foundation (DFG) |
| Project: | TE 508/59-1 |
| Contact: | Dr.-Ing. Christian Löbbe |
| Status: | Completed |
In order to model sheet metal bending at elevated temperatures, a process description was developed according to an experimental study.
Influence of the Cut Edge on the Formability of Steel
| Funding: | ReCIMP |
| Contact: | Dr.-Ing. Christian Löbbe |
The sensitivity of sheared Advanced High-Strength Steels (AHSS) to fail at the sheared edge is a critical problem for the automotive industry.

Freeform Bending of Aviation-Relevant Tubular Parts
| Funding: | BMWi/DLR |
| Project: | 20W1514B |
| Contact: | Stefan Gallus M. Sc. |
In cooperation with PFW Aerospace GmbH, Incremental Tube Forming (ITF) is qualified for the production of aviation-compatible tube structures made of titanium and titanium alloys.
Development of a Technology for Bending U-Profiles
| Funding: | BMWi/ZIM-ZF |
| Project: | ZF4101104US6 |
| Contact: | Johannes Gebhard M. Sc. |
Bending of metal profiles is currently restricted to high bending radii and, therefore, bent products are limited to spacious constructions.
Damage in Sheet Metal Bending of Lightweight Profiles
| Funding: | German Research Foundation (DFG) |
| Project: | SFB/TRR188 • Subproject A05 |
| Contact: | Rickmer Meya M. Sc. |
Profiles made of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel materials are often produced by classic bending processes such as air and die bending.
