N2  - The physics of metal forming and metal removing is normally expressed using non-linear partial differential equations which can be solved using the finite element method (FEM). However, when the process parameters are uncertain and/or the physics of the process is not well understood, soft computing techniques can be used with FEM or alone to model the process. Using FEM, fuzzy set theory and neural networks as modelling tools; this book is a focuses on metal forming, machining and non-traditional machining and includes: -an explanation of FEM and its application to the modelling of manufacturing processes; -a discussion of the numerical difficulties of FEM; chapters on the application of soft computing techniques in this modelling process. The flow charts and review questions included make this book of value to postgraduates, senior undergraduates, lecturers and researchers in these fields. R&D engineers and consultants for the manufacturing industry will also find it of use. Uses original mathematic approach in design and manufacturing processes Provides flow charts to help readers develop codes Written by authorities in the subject; Índice: Metal Forming and Machining Processes.- Review of Stress, Linear Strain and Elastic Stress-Strain Relations.- Classical Theory of Plasticity.- Plasticity of Finite Deformation and Anisotropic Materials and Modeling of Fracture and Friction.- Finite Element Modeling of Metal Forming Processes Using Eulerian Formulation.- Finite Element Modeling of Metal Forming Processes Using Updated Lagrangian Formulation.- Finite Element Modeling of Orthogonal Machining Process.- Background on Soft Computing.- Predictive Modeling of Metal Forming and Machining Processes Using Soft Computing.- Optimization of Metal Forming and Machining Processes.- Epilogue
