Metal forming simulation: Numerical efficiency in rolling processes ‐ part I
Abstract
The numerical simulation of metal forming processes follows a highly non‐linear analysis where general aspects such as elastoplasticity, finite deformation and contact mechanics are combined. Approximated solutions obtained by finite element techniques require strong computational effort, that contradicts the need of interactive industrial applications. The first part of the work deals with the description of the main elements of the formulation, with attention to mathematical modelling and the approximating algorithms in the incremental iterative frame of non‐linear analysis, ending with the results obtained in hot rolling simulation. The second part is dedicated to computational efficiency analysis and the presentation of the related methods and results obtained in this work.
