Combined method for die compensation in sheet metal forming
Sheet metal forming is one of the prominent methods to convert blank sheet material into a product. In sheet metal forming, proper allowance of its tools must be given to the elastic recovery, due to the nature of elastic property which is called springback. When stamped sheet components are …

Aspects of numerical simulation of the metal forming process
Metal forming is one of the oldest disciplines and dates back many thousands of years. The pressing of metal into shapes as a manufacturing process is widely distributed and is typically performed in engineering workshops. This process can be simulated to a degree, with a computer which provides …

A finite element method for three-dimensional analysis of metal forming
<p>"The importance of metal forming by extrusion was reviewed. A Finite Element Approach was developed to analyze extrusion processes. A brick type linear element and the Upper Bound theorem were used to analyze the extrusion of a cylindrical billet into a square cross-section prism. A minimization …
