    Abstract: In this paper, the lattice parameter and bulk modulus of LiD at different pressures and temperatures are calculated by using the density functional theory method within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). Through the quasi-harmonic Debye model, the thermodynamic properties of the LiD are predicted. The dependences of the normalized primit... Show More

    Abstract: Flexible roll forming is a high efficiency sheet metal forming process for producing variable cross section profiles. Also spring-back is one of the most important problems in flexible roll forming process. Spring-back is severe during the unloading phase of bending and greatly affects the forming accuracy of the bending parts. In this paper, the s... Show More
