... and tool orientation that will avoid both local and global tool gouging and yield a near maximum machining strip width at the CC point. Concurrent determination of the optimal feed direction and tool orientation is a very computationally intensive task and searching for the correct solution would involve...

... workpieces are time consuming and iterative at the early stages in the product design. The progressive die design starts with 3D modeling of the part and continues with process sequence planning and strip layout. The strip layout is usually performed manually by experienced progressive die designers...

...Z. Y. Jiang; A. K. Tieu, Mem. ASME Friction at the interfaces between two rolls and a strip being plastically deformed by the rolls is an important consideration in both theory and practice of metal forming. In this paper, a 3D rigid viscoplastic finite element method (FEM) was used to model...
