Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of latest developments in mechanics of tube hydroforming. It starts with a brief summary about the field of industrial applications of this metal-forming process, a description of process variants and of current trends in hydroforming technology. Topics covered by the following sections of the chapter comprise achievements in techniques for the modeling of hydroforming processes, details on the state of the art in approaches to predict forming limits in tube hydroforming and a review of optimization methods applied for the determination of suitable loading paths. The chapter concludes with a discussion about potential future developments and challenges in the mechanics of tube-hydroforming processes.
