Metal Forming: Formability, Simulation, and Tool Design

Metal Forming: Formability, Simulation, and Tool Design focuses on metal formability, finite element modeling, and tool design, providing readers with an integrated overview of the theory, experimentation and practice of metal forming. The book includes formability and finite element topics, including insights on plastic instability, necking, nucleation and coalescence of voids.  Chapters discuss the finite element method, including its accuracy, reliability and validity and finite element flow formulation, helping readers understand finite element formulations, iterative solution methods, friction and contact between objects, and other factors. The book's final sections discuss tool design for cold, warm and hot forming processes. Examples of tools, design guidelines, and information related to tool materials, lubricants, finishes, and tool failure are included as well. Provides fundamental, integrated knowledge on metal formability, finite element topics and tool designOutlines user perspectives on accuracy, reliability and validity of finite element modelingDiscusses examples of tools, their design guidelines, tool lubricants, and tool failureConsiders the role played by stress triaxiality and shear and introduces uncoupled ductile damage criteriaIncludes applications, worked examples and detailed techniques INDICE: 1.
