Having successfully completed this course, the student will be able to:

(1) Cite and classify the metal forming processes, recognize the working spaces, product spectrum, and principles of forming tools and machines, 

(2) Employ theory of plasticity equations that govern the permanent deformation behaviour of metals during elasto-plastic analysis of the processes in order to examine forming parameters such as force and work computations,

(3) Employ Finite Element Analysis (FEA) computational tools in simulating and analysing forming applications,

(4) Design forming tools and plan forming sequences, specify process procedures such as heat treatment, and select forming machines,

(5) Assess economical aspects.
