Abstract: The process of square-cup drawing is modeled employing a simplified finite element analysis technique. In order to make the algorithm computationally efficient, the deformation (total strain) ...

Abstract: The deep drawing process of square and rectangular shells were investigated under different process conditions, and using two different drawing quality steels. The main objective was to identify ...

Abstract: The plane strain plastic bending of rigid-work hardening materials has been investigated and two models have been proposed. In Model I, a numerical solution based on a linear σ̄ – ε̄ approximation ...

Abstract: The finite element analysis procedure used to model the sheet metal forming process is further developed by incorporating a refined numerical procedure and an improved metal-tool friction analysis ...

Abstract: The deformation theory of plasticity is extended to the analysis of bulk metal forming problems. An elastic-plastic finite element formulation is developed and used to simulate solid cylinder ...
