Metal Forming and the Finite-Element Method

by Shiro Kobayashi, Soo-Ik Oh, Taylan Altan

Overview

The application of computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques is becoming essential in modern metal-forming technology. Thus process modeling for the determination of deformation mechanics has been a major concern in research . In light of these developments, the finite element method—a technique by which an object is decomposed into pieces and treated as isolated, interacting sections—has steadily assumed increased importance. This volume addresses advances in modern metal-forming technology, computer-aided design and engineering, and the finite element method.

Editorial Reviews

"The volume is remarkable on many counts. It is an extremely well-researched and well-presented first book on the subject. Current, exhaustive literature survey is evident in each chapter. Graduate and research students in the field of metal forming would find this a most useful book. For the clarity of its presentation, practicing engineers interested in applying FEM to metal-forming processes and design will benefit from this volume." —Journal of The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society

From the Publisher

Presents the fundamentals and applications of the finite-element method in metal-forming analysis and technology, important in computer-assisted engineering, design, and manufacturing. For graduate students and researchers, but useful to practicing engineers with the appropriate background. Mainly devoted to applications based on flow formulations, but includes a chapter comparing solutions based on solid formulations. Some principles and techniques may also be applicable to deformation analyses of polymers and composites. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
