About the Author

Robert H. Wagoner, NAE, FASM, brings both a teachingperspective (Professor, Department of Materials Science andEngineering, Ohio State University) and industrial experience(Staff Research Scientist, G. M. Research Laboratories) to his workin sheet metal forming and simulation. Developer of the Sheetfamily of computer programs in use at several companies anduniversities, Professor Wagoner has received extensive recognitionfor research achievements, including the Mathewson Gold Medal,Raymond Memorial Award, and Hardy Gold Medal. He has more than 150research articles in print. Professor Wagoner is Director of theCenter for Advanced Materials and Manufacturing of AutomotiveComponents (CAMMAC), and is co-organizer of Numisheet '96.

Jean-Loup Chenot is Director of CEMEF, the Centre de Miseen Forme des Materiaux, a research and teaching facility of theSchool of Mines of Paris. CEMEF is one of Europe's premierinstitutes devoted to materials forming and, with close industrialcooperation, is the developer of the Forge family of programs.Winner of the Doistau-Blutel Prize of the French Academy ofSciences, the Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Mèrite,the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Palmes Academiques, andOrganizer of Numiform '92, Dr. Chenot has presented over 100international or keynote lectures and has published over 125articles on the subject of numerical simulation of industrialforming operations, particularly bulk forming.

Editorial Reviews

A textbook that can be tailored for any of three courses for senior or beginning graduate students of materials science or mechanical engineering: metal forming, elasticity and plasticity, or continuum mechanics. Provides information on the mechanics, materials, and basic numerical methods needed for metal forming. Integrates the traditional approach emphasizing material properties and structure, with a purely mechanical approach that centers on force balances and numerical methods. Annotation c.
