Prof. Dorel BANABIC

Ioana BICHIS

PhD Student

Implementation of the different constitutive laws (yield criteria and strain hardening laws) in the theoretical models for the Forming Limit Curves prediction.

Vencel BIRO

PhD Student

Experience with Web platforms (gathering and processing solar plant data through the internet), machinery databases and vehicle sales systems.

George DRAGOS

PhD Student

Works in a field of modelling the forming limit bands. Also, he has an expertise working with the experimental devices like Zwick/Roell 150 tensile test machine and Aramis system.

Reka HINTS

PhD Student

Using her experience in the IT industry in the domain of virtual modeling and 3D visualizations of vehicles and their components, she is now part of the European research project "Holistic, extensible, scalable and standard Virtual Factory Framework". Her main research interests are in the area of developing, integrating and validating the functional modules specific to virtual fabrication.

Marius VANCA

PhD Student

With 10 years experience in the IT industry he is trying to use his know-how in the European research project "Holistic, extensible, scalable and standard Virtual Factory Framework". His main focused research topics are related to developing and integrating the knowledge repositories that are used in nowadays virtual factories.

Dan Sorin COMSA

PhD, Reader

He is the developer of Pamphlet, a 3D finite element software for the simulation of sheet-metal forming. Both elasto-plastic and rigid-plastic modelling are allowed. Shell and membrane elements can be used for the simulation. The description of the dies is imported from Autocad or other comercial CAD software. An automatic mesh generator is incorporated, generating triangles with the Delaunay algorithm.

Gloria COSOVICI

Postdoc

Started working in the laboratory as a PhD student. Her research interests are mainly focused on the numerical simulation of sheet metal forming processes and the constitutive models of metallic materials.

Paul JURCO

PhD

Developed a program for computing FLD`s using the Hutchinson-Neale model of strain localisation.

Liana PARAIANU

Postdoc

She is involved in a research programme related to the implementation of different material laws in the FLD models and their solution using the finite element method.
