Abstract: Various empirical formulas for predicting the maximum load in practical forgings are reviewed. Assuming a constant friction shear stress at the material-tool interface, the slab method of analysis ...

Abstract: Bend tests were conducted to determine the effect of changes in ambient pressure on the minimum bend radii of titanium and beryllium sheet. Sheet specimens of commercially pure titanium, ...

Abstract: Calendering of molten thermoplastics is frequently used to produce sheet materials of uniform thickness. The mechanical and chemical properties of such sheets are those inherent to the basic ...
