| Course Objectives | The objective of this course is to introduce basic topics in nonlinear finite element analysis of metal forming operations. Sources of nonlinearities will be covered. Solution methods of nonlinear equation systems will be introduced. Based on these preliminary information one dimensional nonlinear problems will be used to deepen knowledge on the nonlinearities and their nature. Further lectures will cover two and three dimensional rigid plastic and large strain elasto-plastic behavior of metals and the necessary finite element concepts for the solution of metal forming processes. |
