Problems of Technological Plasticity

Booknews

In this volume, the classical rigid-plastic model of the deformed workpiece and the characteristic (slipline) method of analysis is assumed. The rigid-plastic solid assumption is deemed reasonable for the problems of technological plasticity with large scale plastic flow, where small elastic strains are negligible. Along with classical results of the theory of plasticity, the volume includes many original analytical and numerical solutions of the problems of technological plasticity obtained by the authors in Russia and unknown to most western readers. The results of the analyses are given by analytical formulae and many graphs and tables, so the volume will be useful for practical and research engineers. Annotation c.
