Functioning as an introduction to modern mechanics principles and various
applications that deal with the science, mathematics and technical aspects
of sheet metal forming, Mechanics Modeling of Sheet Metal Forming details
theoretically sound formulations based on principles of continuum mechanics
for finite or large deformation, which can then be implemented into simulation
codes. The forming processes of complex panels by computer codes, in addition
to extensive practical examples, are recreated throughout the many chapters
of this book in order to benefit practicing engineers by helping them better
understand the output of simulation software.
 
Topics presented in this book:
  automotive sheet metal forming processes
  fundamentals of solid mechanics and mathematical plasticity theories
  formulations for analyses of sheet metal forming processes including
          binder closing, stretching/drawing, trimming, flanging and hemming
  thin shell theories for finite deformation
  formulations of two shell elements for finite element models for
          computation
  solution methods for the equations of motion
  solution methods for snap-through and bifurcation buckling
