Abstract: In this paper finite element modeling of the deformation and stress development in solidifying bodies is presented. Emphasis is given to axially symmetric problems and especially to the accurate ...

Abstract: A conceptual framework is introduced for the design of tool surface topographies in bulk metal forming processes. The objective of the design is to control friction to desired levels while ...

Abstract: Solidification of a pure metal against a flat mold surface is examined using a nonuniform thermohypoelastic beam. Heat is removed with a spatially periodic heat flux superimposed onto uniform ...
