High durability of such tools is ensured partly by using the appropriate materials (high-alloy tool steels), but the optimum properties of dies can be achieved by appropriate thermal or thermo-chemical processing.
Therefore, repeatable formation of hardened layers with a set carbon or nitrogen profile and a set hardness distribution in a wide range of engineering materials must be based on a reliable computer simulation of the process in all its phases.

The use of waste materials as a source of aggregate in new construction materials has become more common in recent decades.
However, fly ash can be used as a replacement for cement or as an additional cementitious material in concrete.

Before the use of new material or a new structure in the industry a lot of numerical and experimental tests should be performed.
In the scientific literature there are many papers dealing with buckling, postbuckling behaviour and failure modes of thin-walled structures made of isotropic and orthotropic materials.
The columns were made of 8 layered GFRP laminate with material properties presented in Table 1 [9].

After plastic deformation together with material shift, better resistance against material springing is reached.
The material was deformed into required shape, but in some cases the material was so pressed, that tool divided (mashed) a material by press.
Hardness of the material is approx. 63 HRC and class of waste is 024.
