SUMMARY
This book is about Theory of Plasticity and metal forming. It is not a handbook rather
intended as a textbook for the present and hopefully future generations of Theory of
Plasticity and metal forming.
This textbook provided the students with the theoretical background and engineering
applications of the Theory of Elasticity and Plasticity for metal forming. It is divided into
three parts. Part one, Theory of Elasticity, is devoted to this solution of these engineering
problems that can be approximated by means of the linear models. The second part is the
theory of Plasticity. The third part is the metal forming process.
The book cover the curriculums educated in most high level of Theory of Elasticity,
Plasticity and metal forming schools. The book contains the following chapters:
Part one
Chapter 1: Stress and Stain Relationships For Elastic Behavior for one, two and three-
dimensional.
Chapter 2: Applications of Materials Testing
Chapter 3: Elements of The Theory of Plasticity
Chapter 4: Analysis Of Metal Forming Processes
Chapter 5: Metal forming processes
The elasticity theory is useful for linear modelling materials which produce small
deformations and which return to their original shape after removing the load. Many of
all real materials will produce some permanent deformation, which stay after load
removal. However for metals, significant of permanent deformations will usually occur
when the stress reaches some critical value, called the yield strength, which is a material
property.
The deformations of elasticity are termed rejuvenated; the energy expended in
deformation is stored as elastic strain energy and is completely recovered upon load
removal. Permanent deformations involve the dissipation of energy; such processes are
termed irreversible, in the sense that the original state can be obtained only by the extra
of more energy.
The classical of plasticity theory out of the study of metals in the late nineteenth
century. It is concerned with materials which initially elastically deformed, which deform
plastically upon reaching a yield strength. In metals and other crystalline materials the
occurrence of plastic deformations at the micro-scale level is due to the dislocations of
motion and the movement of grain boundaries on the micro-level.
A essential part of the discussion in what follows is concerned with the metals plasticity ;
this is the easy type of plasticity and it serves as a good background and introduction to
the plasticity modelling in other material-types. There are two wide groups of metal
plasticity problem which are of interest to the engineer and analyst. The first involves
relatively small plastic strains, often of the same order as the elastic strains which occur.
Analysis of problems involving small plastic strains allows one to design structures
optimally, so that they will not fail when in service, but at the same time are not stronger
than they really need to be. In this sense, plasticity is seen as a material failure.
The second type of group of problem involves very large deformations and strains, so
large that the elastic strains can be ignored. These phenomena occur in the analysis of
metals forming processes and manufacturing, which can involve rolling, extrusion,
forging, drawing and so on. In these latter-type group of problem, a simplified model
known as perfect plasticity is employed usually and use of special limit theorems which
applied for such models.
The deformations of Plasticity are normally independent rate, that is, the stresses
induced are independent of the rate of loading (or rate of deformation).
5. Book objective
The objective of this book mainly for helping the all branches of mechanical
and Civil engineering student for understand theoretical and practice the
coarse MENG 468(Plasticity and metal forming) & MENG 488 (special
topics for mechanics of materials) and MENG 616 (Advanced Elasticity and
Plasticity for Graduate student). Moreover, this book explain the types of
metal forming process which help the manufacturing companies.
6. Book Design:
The book is a collection of papers, excerpts from different references and
text books. The book contains Five chapters listed as following:
