At the end of this course, the student will:
- gain insight into the behavior of metals under loading and heating conditions.
- use elementary theory of plasticity to formulate bulk forming processes.
- master the basic formulations and their applications to sheet forming processes.
- master and apply the basic theory of metal cutting.
- have the basic knowledge about the cutting tools, cutting fluids and the cutting parameters and how they affect the cutting performance.
- optimize metal cutting operations for the selected criteria.
