Simulation of Material Processing: Theory, Methods and Application


Book Description

This volume contains about 180 papers including seven keynotes presented at the 7th NUMIFORM Conference. It reflects the state-of-the-art of simulation of industrial forming processes such as rolling, forging, sheet metal forming, injection moulding and casting.




Computational Methods for Predicting Material Processing Defects


Book Description

The papers in this book deal with computational methods for predicting material processing defects. Using recent advances in finite strain plasticity and viscoplasticity, damage modelling, bifurcation and instability theory, fracture mechanics and computer numerical techniques, new approaches to mechanical defect analysis are proposed. Appropriate methods for explaining and avoiding the defects leading to fracture, high porosity, strain localization or undesirable geometrical imperfections are presented. In addition, some papers are devoted to new formulations and new calculation algorithms to be used for solving the forming problems. Finally, two papers deal with physical description of defects occurring in forming and cutting operations, focusing on the academic and practical interest of these topics.This is the first book to deal with the prediction of defects occurring in material forming processes; it contains much of interest from both a theoretical and a practical viewpoint.
