Metalworking Science and Engineering

Here's an important reference for practicing engineers working in the various industries involved with materials processing such as forging, sheetmetal forming, and others. A materials process oriented text, Metalworking Science and Engineering covers the information needed by the engineer to design, install, and control a mechanical process. The book covers several important methods used to analyze metalworking, including the slip-line field method and the finite element method. A variety of analytical and computer analysis tools are discussed to give the reader a good idea of what is available.
