Optimization of metal forming process parameters with damage minimization

A primary objective in metal forming is designing the geometry of the workpiece and dies in order to achieve a part with a given shape and microstructure. The problem is usually handled by extensive trial and error, using simulations or test forgings, or both, until an acceptable result is obtained....

Description
Summary:A primary objective in metal forming is designing the geometry of the workpiece and dies in order to achieve a part with a given shape and microstructure. The problem is usually handled by extensive trial and error, using simulations or test forgings, or both, until an acceptable result is obtained. The purpose of this work is to present and apply an optimization technique to metal forming design problems with damage occurrence.
