Books by Keyword: Engineering Plasticity

Description: This special volume includes the papers presented at the 12th Asia-Pacific Conference on Engineering Plasticity and Its Applications (AEPA 2014) held in National Sun Yat-sen University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan on 1-5 September 2014. The 2014 conference features technical and keynote programs, the most current and relevant trends in academia, and industry, and a cultural excursion program. The topics cover engineering plasticity in various disciplines such as materials processing, damage and fracture analysis, impact dynamics, composite mechanics. Advances in plasticity on the nano, micro and macro scales and their industrial applications related to sustainable and re-manufacturing are also included.

This book presents a new method for the design of the precision dies used in cold-forging, extrusion and drawing processes. The method is based upon die expansion, and attempts to provide a clear-cut theoretical basis for the selection of critical die dimensions for this group of precision dies when the tolerance on product diameter (or thickness) is specified. It also presents a procedure for selecting the minimum-production-cost die from among a set of design alternatives.
