description

Summary In this paper a numerical method for the analysis of axisymmetrical forming processes is proposed. This method represents the last development of a previous one which allows to solve forming problems in plane strain condition. The proposed model is baaed on the finite element discretization and on the linearization of the yield surface which leads to solve a LP problem. Two different examples of application, concerning the upsetting of a cylinder and of a hollow disk are reported.
