... the minimum radius to which a sheet may be bent without cracking. Hence, the challenging issue, on which this paper focuses, is to predict this material parameter from other material parameters commonly measured during standard tensile tests. For this prediction, a finite element model and a response surface...

..., which can automatically allocate sensor viewing points, measure the freeform part surface, and generate an error map for quality control. The measurement accuracy meets the industrial standards. This paper briefly describes the system architecture, design principle, calibration methods, and the present...
