In general, my research area focuses on analyzing failure criteria of materials through forming processes. In this field, distinguishing the key process parameters and investigating their influences result in obtaining free-defects products and reduce the total manufacture costs. As a result of the remarkable demands on electronic and other portable compact devices, the need to produce various miniaturized parts, particularly those made from metallic sheet is growing. Therefore, my research experience in doctoral study is in conducting deep drawing processes at micro scale under different conditions through presenting a novel forming technique. The interesting point here is that this study presents the first attempt of employing flexible material (Polyurethane rubber) as a forming die tool in micro deep drawing technology to produce micro metallic components at different scaling levels. Also, the main target is to advance the micro deep drawing technology owing to reduce the overall production cost and to improve the final quality of the formed parts. Also, as a part of my research field is to identify what the optimum technique that can be adopted for a particular forming process according to the characteristics required for the final product. In other words, my research work takes into account studying tools design and fabrication, materials selection for tools and workpieces, and process conditions in order for producing components with specifications required in particular industrial applications.
