(Iste) 1st Edition
by Khemais Saanouni (Author)
The aim of this book is to
summarize the current most effective methods for modeling, simulating,
and optimizing metal forming processes, and to present the main features
of new, innovative methods currently being developed which will no
doubt be the industrial tools of tomorrow. It discusses damage (or
defect) prediction in virtual metal forming, using advanced
multiphysical and multiscale fully coupled constitutive equations.
Theoretical formulation, numerical aspects as well as application to
various sheet and bulk metal forming are presented in detail.
Virtual
metal forming is nowadays inescapable when looking to optimize
numerically various metal forming processes in order to design advanced
mechanical components. To do this, highly predictive constitutive
equations accounting for the full coupling between various physical
phenomena at various scales under large deformation including the
ductile damage occurrence are required. In addition, fully 3D adaptive
numerical methods related to time and space discretization are required
in order to solve accurately the associated initial and boundary value
problems. This book focuses on these two main and complementary aspects
with application to a wide range of metal forming and machining
processes.
