A COMBINED NUMERICAL-EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH TO THE SIMULATION OF HOT DEFORMATION OF METALS.

Objective

The primary objective of the research project is to develop a combined numerical-experimental technique, based on inverse finite element approaches and the visioplasticity method, for indirect evaluation of stresses at the tool-workpiece interface during bulk metal forming operations.

This will lead to developments in advanced frictional models to be used in numerical simulations, which are becoming necessary for the design of new forming technologies and optimization of existing ones.
