Having successfully completed this course, the student will be able to:
- explain the role of various deformation mechanisms in metal forming.
- apply equivalent strain concept, compute flow stresses in hot/cold forming, and identify the assumptions and the elements of elementary theory of plasticity.
- formulate bulk forming processes using slab method and elementary theory of plasticity and using energy method and elementary theory of plasticity.
- compute shearing force and power, bending force and the amount of spring-back.
- analyze axisymmetric deep-drawing operations.
- correctly use basic terminology of metal cutting.
- measure, analyse and calculate cutting forces, and find cutting power.
- select proper tools for various applications, identify the effect of cutting fluids on cutting performance, and assess and measure machinability.
- generate data for the optimisation model, and find optimum cutting conditions for selected criterion under constrained/unconstrained conditions.
