Abstract: Wall ironing has been analyzed using an elastic-plastic finite element technique. The effects that the ironing ring semi-cone angle and friction have on the maximum reduction ratio are studied ...

Abstract: A rigid-plastic analysis of the axisymmetric deep-drawing problem is made using a special numerical technique. The effects of work-hardening, friction, and normal anisotropy have been included. ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the deformations and stresses in the buttocks of a person when he sits on a cushion. The study is motivated by the need for a better understanding of the design of ...

Abstract: This paper develops a procedure for the optimization of dies used in the deep drawing process. Previous efforts in this area are initially related. Considerable discussion is then devoted to ...
