Description
Reflecting two decades of research and development by the author and his group at the Institute of Computer Applications (ICA), Stuttgart University, this volume explores the computer simulation of large deformation processes. It covers material processing and describes several related industrial applications. A CD-ROM listing industrial and laboratory applications of process simulation and containing colour illustrations is included. Designed as an accompanying text for advanced courses on computational solid mechanics, this book will also be valuable to professional engineers who require further grounding in this area.
