About this title

About the Author

Robert H. Wagoner, NAE, FASM, brings both a teachingperspective (Professor, Department of Materials Science andEngineering, Ohio State University) and industrial experience(Staff Research Scientist, G. M. Research Laboratories) to his workin sheet metal forming and simulation. Developer of the Sheetfamily of computer programs in use at several companies anduniversities, Professor Wagoner has received extensive recognitionfor research achievements, including the Mathewson Gold Medal,Raymond Memorial Award, and Hardy Gold Medal. He has more than 150research articles in print. Professor Wagoner is Director of theCenter for Advanced Materials and Manufacturing of AutomotiveComponents (CAMMAC), and is co-organizer of Numisheet '96.

Jean-Loup Chenot is Director of CEMEF, the Centre de Miseen Forme des Materiaux, a research and teaching facility of theSchool of Mines of Paris. CEMEF is one of Europe's premierinstitutes devoted to materials forming and, with close industrialcooperation, is the developer of the Forge family of programs.Winner of the Doistau-Blutel Prize of the French Academy ofSciences, the Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Mèrite,the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Palmes Academiques, andOrganizer of Numiform '92, Dr. Chenot has presented over 100international or keynote lectures and has published over 125articles on the subject of numerical simulation of industrialforming operations, particularly bulk forming.

From the Back Cover

This text provides the fundamental background in mechanics, materials, and numerical analysis necessary to understand the principles of metal forming and its analysis. Using a unified approach, the authors bridge traditional gaps between forming practitioners, manufacturing engineers, materials scientists, and mechanicians, to give readers a complete picture of the dynamic field of modern metal forming. Everything You need to Bridge the Gap Between… …Theory, Application, and Numerical Techniques Now you can see how theory, applications, and numerical techniques are intimately linked with a text that balances all three! Numerous exercises and three kinds of problems: Proficiency, Depth, and Numerical help readers fully grasp the theory, application and modern computing techniques in metal forming. …Concept and Understanding The authors’ informal writing style, emphasis on physical intuition, and numerous exercises combine to take the reader from intangible concept to practical understanding. … Learning and the Real World An emphasis on physical intuition, leads to a deeper understanding of the principles underlying advanced numerical treatments. Plus, alternative forms of mathematical notation familiarize students with real-world practice.
