Numerische Gestaltoptimierung von Kaltmassivumformwerkzeugen auf Basis eines dreidimensionalen Model

The textbook "Numerical Shape Optimization of Cold Forming Tools Based on a Three-Dimensional Model" offers a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and solutions in the field of cold forming. In light of current developments in lightweight design, the necessity of creating components with low weight and high efficiency is emphasized. The book addresses the complex interactions between mechanical tool loads and the resulting workpiece geometry, which arise from the elastic deformations of tools and machines. By applying numerical process simulations, a systematic understanding of the geometric dependencies is promoted, leading to an optimized tool geometry. The theoretical foundations are supported by mathematical algorithms that enable load-appropriate design of the tools. This work is aimed at professionals and students who wish to engage with the latest techniques and methods in cold forming.
