Course detail

Theory of Metal-forming

FSI-HTAAcad. year: 2022/2023

Complex engineering solutions of the technological processes of metal-forming are based on the theory of plasticity and theory of metal-forming with systems of computer support. The content of the course starts from selected chapters of the physical essence of plastic strain, formability of metals and alloys, fundamentals of mathematical theory of plasticity, and experimental/analytical methods for the theoretical solution of metal-forming processes. The course provides the basic knowledge of and skills in mathematically describing metal-forming processes while applying the physical, chemical, mechanical and thermodynamic principles of the transition of metallic bodies from elastic into plastic state in the course of their plastic deformation into the required shape. The course also addresses the problem of determining the loading of metal-forming tools and machines, carries out analyses of deformation, establishes critical strain values and offers an introduction to computer-aided modelling of metal-forming processes.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

The course offers students the knowledge necessary for simplified mathematical representation of forming processes while applying the physical, chemical, mechanical and thermodynamic principles of metallic bodies changing from the elastic into the plastic state, and when these bodies are plastically deformed into the required shape. Students will learn how to determine the loading of the forming tool or machine, and how to determine the critical values of deformation.

Prerequisites

Successful completion of the course is conditional on the knowledge of applied mathematics and physics, materials science, elasticity, strength, and plasticity, and a grasp of metal-forming technologies.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Conditions of awarding the course-unit credit: participation in exercises, working out 10 accepted reports concerning individual assignments, using recommended computer support. If this condition is not satisfied, the teacher may in justified cases assign alternative exercise programs. The examination is in public, testing the knowledge of three basic areas of the course, namely
1) the physical essence of plastic deformation and formability of metals and alloys,
2) mathematical theory of plasticity,
3) methods for solving metal-forming processes. Oral examination follows a preliminary written preparation answering the drawn complex question with 3 sub-questions concerning the basic areas of the course. The main emphasis is on understanding the method of solution and the ability to apply the known analytical and experimental calculation models.
The exam is public, it will have written preparation and oral part. It is classificated to the ECTS grading scale.
