点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This research program will investigate the mechanical deformation of metals such as occurs in hot-forging, as well as the analytical modeling of the observed behavior and the computational procedures for obtaining solutions with the analytical models. Specifically, the research will consider: (1) the development of large deformation constitutive equations for isotropic thermo-elasto-viscoplasticity; (2) the development of large deformation, coupled, thermo-mechanical computational procedures; and (3) the experimental evaluation of the constitutive equations and the computational procedures.
