Abstract

Forming is a very versatile manufacturing process. In metal forming, large forces are applied to the work material to deform it plastically, to get the desired product. The most important item in the analysis of a metal forming processes is the determination of the magnitude of the applied energy, since it is a parameter necessary for the design of processing equipment. Another important factor is to know the extent of deformation to which a work piece can be subjected before it fails. So, we ought to know the relationship between the energy and the deformation that it produces.

The present paper considers relationship between the energy applied and extent of deformation as well as the variations of the radial strains, hoop strains along the radius under different hydraulic mediums are studied.
