Accurate predictions concerning a forging process can be obtained by numerical simulation,
but only with a thorough knowledge of the main process variables. The material flow …

Forging processes are defined by variables related to the workpiece, the tools, the machine,
and the process itself, and these variables are called process variables. They have a direct …

The elastic deflection of the working areas of the active tool parts has a direct effect on the
workpiece contact and thus on the component quality. Knowledge regarding the elastic …

An experimental setup for cold extrusion process with electric-hydraulic chattering was
developed and its working principle was introduced. The finite element (FE) model for a kind …

Structural deformations are an important aspect of many engineering tasks. They are
typically resolved as “off-line” finite element computations with accuracy set as the primary …

In forging processes, the determination of blow efficiency is very important, as it quantifies
the part of the stroke energy actually transmitted to the billet. Thus, forging processes should …
