  • Determination of friction law in metal forming
    Friction between work-piece and tools is the important factor for accuracy and forming load in metal forming. A few friction laws are used in simulation of metal forming. However, these friction laws can't simulate actual behaviour of friction in metal forming. New friction law for metal forming is derived and verified in this study.

  • Development of forming method for product with complicated shape by plate forging
    Automobile products are becoming lighter, complicated shape and inexpensively. Plate forging technology which combined sheet metal forming and forging has developed recently to satisfy these industrial demands. In this study, the new forming method of the complicated shape by plate forging is developed.
