Subject syllabus

Lectures:
1) Introduction (definition of basic terms)
2) Basic physical quantities coupled with material forming processes – temperature, strain, strain rate, flow stress – their mutual relationships and the possibilities of the analytical determination of their course inside a formed workpiece.
3) Introduction to the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the possibilities of the numerical determination of a metal flow course inside a formed workpiece.
4) Introduction to the creation of 2D models by means of a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software.
5) Introduction to the creation of 3D models by means of a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software.
6) Introduction to the simulation software.
7) The theoretical background of the simulation of an upsetting process (with the use of flat anvils) and of a cogging process.
8) The theoretical background of the simulation of a flat rolling process on a reverse two-high rolling mill.
9) The theoretical background of the simulation of an Equal Channel Angular Extrusion (ECAP) process.
10) Summary or the addition of basic knowledge.

Tutorials:
1) The practice example of the analytical determination of a metal flow, strain and flow stress course inside a formed workpiece and the practice example of the FEM-based determination of a metal flow course inside a formed workpiece.
2) Practicing the 2D model creation by means of a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software.
3) Practicing the 3D model creation by means of a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software.
4) Practice working with a simulation software.
5) The simulation of an upsetting process with the use of flat anvils.
6) The simulation of a cogging process.
7) The simulation of a flat rolling process on a reverse two-high rolling mill – the first pass simulation.
8) The simulation of a flat rolling process on a reverse two-high rolling mill – the reverse pass simulation.
9) The simulation of an Equal Channel Angular Extrusion (ECAP) process.
10) Control test – the preparing of 3D CAD model and the simulation preparing (preprocessing).
