A New Semi-Analytical Solution for an Arbitrary Hardening Law and Its Application to Tube Hydroforming. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2022 The present study consists of two parts. The first part supplies an exact semi-analytical solution for a general model of rigid plastic strain hardening material at large strains. The second part applies this solution to tube hydroforming design.
