[PDF] Mechanics of Sheet Metal Forming by Jack HU

Mechanics of Sheet Metal Forming

Book Description:

The fundamental principle of Mechanics of sheet steel forming within the automotive, equipment and plane industries is included on this e-book. This e-book fills a niche between the descriptive therapies in most manufacturing books and the superior numerical strategies utilized in CAD programs.

Mechanics of Sheet Metal Forming by Jack HU, Zdzislaw Marciniak, John Duncan eBook could also be used by lecturers in undergraduate programs in manufacturing; plentiful workouts and labored out examples give quantitative tutorial issues for engineering college students.

The basic theory of sheet metal forming in the automotive, appliance and aircraft industries is given. This fills a gap between the descriptive treatments in most manufacturing texts and the advanced numerical methods used in computer-aided-design systems.The book may be used by lecturers in undergraduate courses in manufacturing; plentiful exercises and worked examples provide quantitative tutorial problems for students. A separate, but related simulation software package advertised on this page enables students to explore the limits of processes and understand the influence of different process and material variables.Engineers in stamping plants and press shops find the book useful in understanding what happens during forming and why failures occur. The book is also used as a text for industrial short courses that have been given in many countries. Die designers and tooling engineers find the simple treatment of processes useful at the conceptual design stage and also in determining modifications needed to overcome problems indicated by detailed numerical analysis.The original text, published 10 years ago, has been completely rewritten for this edition and newer topics such as hydroforming included. Simple equations governing plastic deformation, press forming, bending, punch stretching and deep drawing are derived and explained. The aim is to provide simple applicable methods rather than complex numerical techniques for practising engineers and for students interested in a quantitative and practical approach.
