Marketing de l'Art et de la Culture
2009
2e édition; International audience; Les organisations culturelles modernes ont besoin d'une démarche et d'outils marketing rigoureux adaptés à leurs spécificités. Cet ouvrage de référence poursuit un double objectif : éclairer le lecteur sur les caractéristiques du secteur et définir les enjeux stratégiques et outils opérationnels du marketing dans les principaux domaines des arts et de la culture (spectacle vivant, patrimoine, industries culturelles). Dans le secteur des arts et de la culture le marketing souffre d'un fort déficit d'image. Pourtant qu'il s'agisse de lancer des projets, de nouer des relations avec des partenaires, d'attirer et de fidéliser des publics, de démocratiser l'acc…
Advanced numerical models for the thermo-mechanical-metallurgical analysis in hot forging processes
2013
In the paper a literature review of the numerical modeling of thermo-mechanical-metallurgical evolutions of a metal in hot forging operations is presented. In particular models of multiaxial loading tests are considered for carbon steels. The collected examples from literature regard phases transformations, also martensitic transformations, morphologies evolutions and transformation plasticity phenomena. The purpose of the tests is to show the correlation between the mechanical and the metallurgical behavior of a carbon steel during a combination of several types of loads. In particular a few mechanical tests with heat treatment are analyzed. Furthermore, Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy is conside…
Numerical simulation of material failure in single point incremental forming process
2019
Abstract The sheet metal parts obtained through single point incremental forming process show a thinning and also there is a high possibility of material failure. In order to avoid the failure of the material during the process, it is a good practice to use numerical simulation through finite element method to prevent this phenomenon. The aim of this paper is to investigate the prediction of the failure moment of the aluminium sheet metal using various failure criteria. Commonly used failure criteria are: Tresca or maximum shear stress criterion, von Mises yield criterion, Hill yield criteria and various invariants of the Cauchy stress tensor. For the numerical simulation of the single poin…
Forming of aluminum foam sandwich panels: Numerical simulations and experimental tests
2006
Abstract The forming of the completed aluminium foam sandwich (AFS) panels would determine an improvement in the manufacturing of parts and panels. In this paper the authors have investigated the formability of AFS through experiments and numerical simulations. As far as the former are concerned, commercially prepared panels have been considered and bending and stamping processes have been taken into account. In addition, FEM analyses have been developed, utilizing a porous material model following the evolution of the material density throughout the forming processes.
MICRO-SCALE STUDY OF RESIDUAL STRESSES IN CR2O3 COATINGS SPRAYED BY APS
2020
International audience; Whichever the application field, every material forming process generates residual stresses on the surface. While they are likely to enhance the aimed properties of the final mechanical part, these stresses may also drastically reduce them and result in early failures. Therefore, understanding the residual stress state remains a major challenge when coating complex parts, especially as most characterization methods at the microscopic scale involve specific sample preparation procedures which may affect the residual stresses field. This work investigates the residual stress state that exists in chromium oxide coatings deposited via Atmospheric Plasma Spray (APS), usin…
From equilibrium to steady state: The transient dynamics of colloidal liquids under shear
2008
We investigate stresses and particle motion during the start up of flow in a colloidal dispersion close to arrest into a glassy state. A combination of molecular dynamics simulation, mode coupling theory and confocal microscopy experiment is used to investigate the origins of the widely observed stress overshoot and (previously not reported) super-diffusive motion in the transient dynamics. A link between the macro-rheological stress versus strain curves and the microscopic particle motion is established. Negative correlations in the transient auto-correlation function of the potential stresses are found responsible for both phenomena, and arise even for homogeneous flows and almost Gaussia…
Beta forging of Ti-6Al-4V: Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties
2013
Titanium alloys are finding an increasing use in the aeronautical field, due to their characteristics of high mechanical properties, lightness and corrosion resistance. Moreover these alloys are compatible with the carbon fibre reinforced plastics that are also finding a wide use in the aeronautical field. On the other hand the use of these alloys implies some drawbacks, for example titanium alloys are often considered more difficult to form and generally have less predictable forming characteristics than other metallic alloys such as steel and aluminum. In this paper was studied both the microstructure evolution and the mechanical properties of a Ti-6Al-4V rolled bar after hot forging. The…
Sheet metal forming of titanium blanks using flexible media
1998
Abstract Sheet metal forming processes using flexible media are increasingly utilized in the industrial practice due to the relatively low tooling cost. In the present investigation, a rubber forming process is applied to the manufacturing cycle of a titanium alloy component for acoustic tweeters. The proposed process allows a reduction in manufacturing costs and production time since it permits the elimination of some joining operations. The FEM analysis has permitted the definition of the optimal process parameters and tooling geometry. Accordingly, several components have been produced; the achieved quality level is comparable with the one obtained utilizing the conventional technology a…
Analysis of Material Formability in Incremental Forming
2002
Abstract Incremental forming is an innovative sheet metal forming technology in which a blank is plastically deformed through the progressive action of a small-size punch, whose movement is governed by a CNC machine. In this way the tool locally deforms the material through an almost pure stretching deformation mechanics. The paper is focused on material formability in incremental forming. Several tests were developed, aimed to the achievement of different straining conditions in the material and consequently to the determination of Forming Limit Diagrams for progressive forming operations. The features and the application of such FLD are discussed in the paper.
Ni-Based Catalysts for Low Temperature Methane Steam Reforming: Recent Results on Ni-Au and Comparison with Other Bi-Metallic Systems
2013
Steam reforming of light hydrocarbons provides a promising method for hydrogen production. Ni-based catalysts are so far the best and the most commonly used catalysts for steam reforming because of their acceptably high activity and significantly lower cost in comparison with alternative precious metal-based catalysts. However, nickel catalysts are susceptible to deactivation from the deposition of carbon, even when operating at steam-to-carbon ratios predicted to be thermodynamically outside of the carbon-forming regime. Reactivity and deactivation by carbon formation can be tuned by modifying Ni surfaces with a second metal, such as Au through alloy formation. In the present review, we su…
