Mathematical Sciences: Differential Algebraic Systems in Metal and Plastics Forming

这项研究将研究一种新的数学建模方法，涉及微分-代数方程组，用于计算成形过程，如板材或塑性材料的变形。预计这项研究将使人们能够理解大规模、实用的金属成形问题，并解决以数学模型为特征的成形研究的新领域，这些领域也将屈服于这些方法。

This research will examine a new mathematical modeling approach involving differential-algebraic systems of equations for the computational modeling of forming processes, such as the deformation of sheet metal or sheets of plastic material. It is anticipated that this research will enable large scale, practical metal-forming problems to be understood and address new areas of forming research characterized by mathematical models which will also yield to these methods.
