Research and Markets: Metal Forming. Edition No. 4

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/sqb7xb/metal_forming_edi) has announced the addition of the "Metal Forming. Edition No. 4" report to their offering.

This book helps the engineer understand the principles of metal forming and analyze forming problems - both the mechanics of forming processes and how the properties of metals interact with the processes. In this fourth edition, an entire chapter has been devoted to forming limit diagrams and various aspects of stamping and another on other sheet forming operations. Sheet testing is covered in a separate chapter. Coverage of sheet metal properties has been expanded. Interesting end-of-chapter notes have been added throughout, as well as references. More than 200 end-of-chapter problems are also included.

Key Topics Covered:

1. Stress and strain

2. Plasticity

3. Strain hardening

4. Plastic instability

5. Temperature and strain-rate dependence

6. Work balance

7. Slab analysis and friction

8. Friction and lubrication

9. Upper-bound analysis

10. Slip-line field analysis

11. Deformation zone geometry

12. Formability

13. Bending

14. Plastic anisotropy

15. Cupping, redrawing and ironing

16. Forming limit diagrams

17. Stamping

18. Hydroforming

19. Other sheet forming operations

20. Formability tests

21. Sheet metal properties.
