Trimming simulation of forming metal sheets isogeometric models by using NURBS surfaces (2016)
Journal Article

Some metal sheets forming processes need trimming in a final stage for achieving the net-shape specification and for removing micro-cracks and irregularities. In numerical simulation, since the exact final edge location is a priori unknown in the ori...
